We used to have a milling machine on the shop floor that could import DXF files. That machine was replaced by a more complicated machine (with a Fagor 8055 mill controller) that requires *.PIM files for importing.

Is it possible to get from a model or drawing in SW to this type of file? I'll also ask this in some of the CNC newsgroups, but figured I'd start here.

Thanks,
Matt
