Converting PDF to DWG/DXF. Some tutorials

Unread post by saboo » Wed Nov 15, 2023 5:59 pm

To covert a pdf document of a plan, to a format to use in a CNC laser or router, takes some work. There are a series of YouTube videos that cover some aspects of how to do this.

The link to the channel that has those and other videos is

They cover using Inkscape software and the steps to import a PDF file and convert it to a DWG or DXF file. Once in Autocad format, most programs can convert to G-Code to drive the laser or router.
