      Hi,

      I am a retired IT professional interested in Sketch Up free to design toys. I have a home built CNC router that can machine wood and plastic but not metal. It needs Mach2 files to operate. I use Vectric Cut2D to make those files. As the Cut2D name implies, I only work with 2D files. I would like to use SketchUp to design the parts then export it to a format that Vectric Cut2D can import. The list of file types that Cut2D cam import is:
      .crv
      .dxf
      .dwg
      .eps
      .ai
      .pdf

      The list of files that SketchUp free can export or import appears only to be:
      .skp

      Is there a plug-in or accessory that I can use to allow SketchUp to work in this environment?

      Thanks,

      PickyBiker

        Looks like someone tried to make a dxf exporter. It might be missing some functionality, but for simple 2d stuff it looks like it could work?

        Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.
