Hello guys!
I have been using this method for over 6 years, and i think it's very effective.
Using AutoCAD 2006's Line Tool, click on a point where you want it to be pierced, and type 0.00001.
So you have just made a line that is 0.00001 units long!
It's best to seperate all your pierce points in a different designated layer.
When you port your DXF into a CAM software, it will result out as a G01 Movement, but it's so short enough that the CNC will hardly move at all!
I personally use this method to make marks over a part as a reference for me to perform bending, etc.
Then I retouchup with a weld.
I suppose it will work at any CAD software and any CAM software!
Enjoy piercing!
