So this is what happens, I export my plasmaCam file into a dxf file. Then I opened my dxf files in cadstd lite and exported it as an svg file. Open it up in inkscape and exported that as a bitmap. Open that file in paint to fill my image in and sav it as a jpg or gif. There is a lot of programs to use but it works! Freeware Home is a great website for any free download!

1) Do a simple screenshot with your PC keyboard (Print Screen - button), that will take a snapshot of everything on your PC monitor.
2) Open MS-Paint (Edit --> Paste) that will paste the entire screenshot that is in memory, into MS-Paint.
3) Crop the image in MS-Paint.
4) Save As... whatever image extension you want.
If all you want is a bitmap raster image, then no need to ever involve a dxf file, with the exception of a screenshot from PlasmaCam.
