open builds acro laser cutter

[dennisrobinson]

so I purchased a acro laser cutter from open builds. Now I'm no computer nut or cad or cam expert and am finding that it is not near as easy as I thought it was. I'm in way over my head here. cant figure out how to edit any thing I want and then save it as a dxf so I can put it in to carbide create. I'm really hoping some one out there has a easy way to do this or has the dxf files for the flite test plans. any help what so ever would be greatly welcomed.

Is Carbide Create what you plan to use to generate the g-code?

The first part of this video will explain how to convert an FT PDF to a DXF file.

From there you should be able to open it in Carbide Create and generate your g-code. Or, you could just use Estlcam to generate your code.
