Is there any software that will convert AUTO CAD files to ACCURITE files?

Dick,
Just import a .DXF file from AutoCAD. This should give you the geometry needed to create a tool path. It works well with Gibbs and ACCURITE supports DXF importing. One thing I did notice is that it makes things easier if you move your drawing XYZ zero point to your part XYZ zero.

Re: Conversion software
it also helps if you:
1> strip dimensions
2> explode polylines
3> export in AutoCAD R12 DXF format, which is more universally understood

Too many things going on to bother listing them.
