* SarahEmm has had some success using QCad's [http://www.qcad.org/camexpert.html CAM Expert] package with the laser! Ask her if you want the 'lazzor' machine definition which generates g-code that's complete and ready to load into AXIS on the laser. | * SarahEmm has had some success using QCad's [http://www.qcad.org/camexpert.html CAM Expert] package with the laser!
