Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] propeller code

Hi Wade,
This conversion is normally done through a CAM (computer Aided Machine) program
in order to generate the tool path, speeds, and offsets.  I don't think there's
a straight conversion from dxf to G code because of the tool controls needed by
the CMC machine.   I have used SurfCAM, CAMX, and I think there's an easy to use
CAM program from G code that will generate G code files.
Take care,
Ken Schulze
