If I was to make doors up in ViaCad-6
is there any way to make them work on a CNC Router machine.
Like to turn them in to a tool profile to use on a Thernwood CNC Router machine.Make up Stiles,Rail and center panels:)

I draw components in ViaCad, save them as a DXF file and then import them into my CAM program, available here, http://www.cambam.co.uk which I then use to create the necessary Gcode for my milling machine - works a treat!

Cheers, Martin.
