    Not familiar with Masterwork, but it's usually done by putting the information in the layer name.
    Something like Route_Z0P5_T3

    I found some that specific layer names :
    for drill operations -> BACK , FRONT, LEFT, RIGHT, TOP,
    for saw operation -> SAW
    for milling operation-> TOOL$41_1$L -> I gues 'L' char is tool compansation ileft of the contour.
    But, this not give information about Depth of drilling or milling , or other values.
    What could these parameters be?

    Hi finaly I found this table. in source Masterword working directory ( EN - Working with DXF.doc), partly solved the problem .
    Panel Dimetion - PANEL
    Vertical Driling - TOP[$Fn]
    Horizontal Drillings on Left Side - LEFT[$Fn]
    Horizontal Drillings on Front Side -FRONT[$Fn]
    Horizontal Drillings on Right Side - RIGHT[$Fn]
    Horizontal Drillings on Rear Side - REAR[$Fn]
    Indexed Horizontal Drillings - INDEX[$TOOL_NAME][$Fn]
    Saw Blade Cuts - SAW[$Fn][$En]
    Routing Operations - TOOL$TOOL_NAME[$R;$L][$Fn][$En][$Sn]
    Also "4) The information about the Z-axis (panel thickness, working depth on top side and horizontal drilling Z position) is contained into various entities “thickness” parameter."
