Switcher,
I love the sound of this concept. In fact I had similar thoughts a couple of weeks ago when something I requiring cutting required a dxf to be generated and then G-Code from this.
My concept is exactly the same as yours except I wanted to use my Wacom A3 Graphics tablet that would 'appear' as a mouse in your program.

Shows the end result of what I wanted. Another great program under development (CamBam!)
I had an old bashed up trophy - Shield. It would fit on my graphics tablet and using the pen I could simply run the pen around the shield on the tablet and hopefully create the g-code. Maybe some manual editing also.
I'm reasonably profficient in VB6 and recently purchased Studio 2005 .Net for work use although I have not had time to play with it in detail yet.
If you would like to post your .exe I'm willing to try the tablet idea out and post the results. If the code is open I'd love to take a look at it in .Net and see it progress.
Thank you.
Shaun
