It would help if you could give us a CAD file of what you need. have it in .dxf format. You should also know that Gcode files are slightly different from machine to machine, the the Gcode you get would only be a guide. You might just want to get a very handy program called NCplot to convert your files to Gcode. its supported on this site by the author and you can set it up for your machine.

Here is a file I have been messing around with. It is unedited and has never been run on a machine, but it looked pretty good with the graphic tool path on the PC.
