Gary,
The .dxf import will work as long as you follow Scott's suggestion that they only include Lines and arcs. No polylines, splines etc. If an arc or circle in your .dxf file is segmented then the control will look at each segment as a straight line and cut that way.
I am curious how complicated Tim's .dxf was? Is he creating the .dxf's himself or importing files from others?
I find the cad tools in eCabinets to be great for cabinet work. You just have to get used to them.
