Hi Jerry, thanks a lot!!!
I would not have found that on my own at all and I watch linux CAD
systems constantly.
What a nice find!
I am sure going to try it out now.
What I really like is the MILL instruction along a predefined route.
That really simplifies things.
You basically just route a path with line segments and then say mill
alongh path after you give the bit size.
That is quite nice!

My question is, is there a simple 2-d 3-d cad program with DXF or
suchoutput I can feed into EMC for toolpath generation?
EMC doesn't take DXF, it takes RS-274D, also known as G-code.DXF is
good to move a drawing from one CAD system to another, but it leaves
so much info out of the transfer that it causes a number of
problems.
I know that, but it is easy to use a dxf to G-code converter.
Check this program out, just found it yesterday:
