Introduction and question

[PickyBiker]

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?
