I will give it a shot. I have to use a 2D ACAD .dxf for my mills software. I import it and it writes the G-code. With the software I have for it it doesn't do 3D milling so I either have to set depths manually in the G-code after every pass or write my own G-code from what it gives me (pretty much copy and past setting the new depth ect...). Here is a link to the software: http://www.acumotion.com/softdesc.htm

One of these days I might buy the better software that supports the Solid Works files.
