DXF files files with a. Vector CAD Files contain objects such as:. It was originally introduced with AutoCAD 1. Many drawing programs such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw will also open, edit, and save DXF files, so this is another possibility. For artistic work, a drawing program may be easier. For creating mechanical components, CAD software is better. Many times, the hardest part of these kinds of projects is coming up with artwork.
But getting decent line art to start can be a pain. Especially for non-artists. As you can see, we divide the files into Categories like Animal, Holiday, and Vehicles.

If you are importing the DXF file or opening it into your CAM software you will want to be sure to disable your offset tooling function. If you are unable to disable the offset function altogether then you will want to reduce your offset value as small as it will go.

Anything else can lead to poor results or errors that prevent your CAM package from generating g-cdoe. Here is an example of what a DXF file looks like when it is imported without any offsets:. Notice there is not much visible difference, however this medium offset has created over unwanted intersections in the geometry.
