    Hey mike2768 --
    Any details on the machine your friend has? Maybe even its brand-name would be helpful.
    There are maybe a number of brand specific codes - and if thats what you'll need then might be kinda helpful to know what "brand" it is. Otherwise if it uses g-code - there are a number of conversions to get your from dxf to that.
    Lets us all know - there are some smart guys here and might could help.
    Cheers - Jim
    Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.
