An open-source freeware utility to convert two dimensional DXF files to g-code. Doug Yeager of Yeager Automation was the original author, but DAK Engineering also provides a (different?) version of Ace Converter.

Yeager Automation
Dak Engineering

Apparently does:
-Cutting path optimization
-Full four axis converting ability
-Layer by layer cut prioritizing
-Automatic multi-pass generation
-Specify counterclockwise, clockwise or optimal arcs layer by layer
-Turn layers on or off
-Convert to various Gcode formats

But does not do:
-cutter compensation
-pocketing
