The DXF importer feature provides an on-screen help throughout the process.
The step outline box shows which steps are completed by turning the text
green at each completed step. The keys needed are dened beside the steps.
Additional keys are identied in the left hand column for advanced use. Once a
tool-path is completed it can be inserted into any program in memory. This fea-
