    I must be doing something wrong. I have a design I have used TMCAD to design and i want to export it as a dxf to use on my router table. When I export the .cdl as a dxf and then import the same dxf back to check it on TMCAD, there is no drawing available. Could someone guide me in the correct procedure to export as dxf?

    think i found the problem... tool paths only was selected. I deselected this and now it seems to work. So I'm have way where I need to be, heading in the right direction.
