Where can I get some free DXF to G Code software?

[Dale Heart]

I have my machine running now and I can cut standard shapes from the controller but I'd like to cut something non-standard. I know there is software out there (at cost), I've ordered it but I have to wait about a week to get it. In the mean time I just want to learn how to use the machine on small jobs... hence something free.

Thanks : D

I'm playing with g-simple, that reads a dxf and the author is on cnczone

edit: Don't know if it does plasma though, would delete this post but you probably already got a copy by email

i m not sure if this is possible or if this even makes senses...but i am very new at plamsa cams and its software...and i was wondering is there any way to revert the .pcm to g-code ....i.e. from a drawing into a machine code language and be able to print it out....
it seems to be a stupid question but i need it answered so thank you in advance

I use FlashCut's demo http://www.flashcutcnc.com/downloads/FC1Demo_Setup.exe
It has a .dxf to g-code converter and a tool path simulator. You can screen-capture the tool path and print it out. MIKE
