Program to draw Wall Framing

Program to draw Wall Framing

Program to draw Wall Framing

(OP)
I am interested in a program that can help our company interact with computer controlled saws and lasers.  We are Whisper Creek Log Homes, a log home manufacturing facility in Arkansas.  We have purchased a few Spida saws and some lasers from SL Lasers for wall construction.  The formats that are accepted for the Spida saws are .mme, .grf, .gwf, .ssf, & .omm.  The lasers accept .tps & .dxf.  The .dxf is a format that we should be able to convert out of Autocad.

 After speaking with both companies, I was under the impression that if we drew our wall framing plans in a truss program that the lasers and saws will be able to interpret the drawings without problems.  Is there a program that allows conversion of autocad drawings into the same format as the truss programs?  If not, what type of program do you recommend for a simple wall framing usage?  If I have omitted any information that you may need, please contact me.   I appreciate your time and efforts in this matter.

    Thank you.

RE: Program to draw Wall Framing

dxf is a native format for AutoCAD.
If you need custom software, I may be able to help.
