I can completely relate, I am in the same situation.
Drawings from popular illustrating software, yes–drawings from CAD, no. (2) Easel is not a viable solution for translating a CAD drawing to a finished CNC milled product. Two things that may be true: (1) I really don’t know what is truly involved in getting my CAD files prepped for CAM/gcode… I thought a simple export/import/import would suffice. Preferably, something that doesn’t cost a few hundred dollars more. I really would like to get something figured out before my magic 3-4 weeks of waiting is over. I could use software from work–and ditch Easel altogether, but that would require a parallel connection. So far, the files I export as SVG either don’t import to Easel, or they do but do not appear correct in Easel. Easel is fine for playing around, but unless I can find a reliable method to import accurately vectored drawings it will never be useful for much of what I need. I have hundreds of parts drawn in CAD that I would love to be able to cut on the X-Carve I have on order.
I have tried software such as Inkscape, AI, etc., as well as several online converters. I have had zero successful attempts converting DWG/DXF to SVG.
