(OP)
We do steel parts detailing in AUTOCAD. I'm being asked to output drawing files to use with this machine that reads dstv files and "self programs" the beam cutting machine:

Is there a way (or available software) that will convert AUTOCAD to dstv format so I can run some tests?

Links that should logically lead you to more information are dead.
I was hoping to find some kind of guideline for how to format whatever must be sent. E.g. some ancient sheet metal nesting software I've used expected all geometry on layer 0, and would ignore anything on any other layer, but given that, it would happily read a DXF file even if it contained a lot of other stuff that was not meaningful to it.

Now having said that you can try to download the demo of SoftBurn and give it a try.. or any other demo for steel detailing cad packages (I have no idea what they cost or how long the demo is,etc..)
I'd rather spend my time finding another vendor though. Any vendor worth a grain of salt would purchase the necessary software themselves to keep a customer.

instead of going through our customer interface. Am waiting for a reply.
