Inventor > G-Code - HOW!!??
OK. So, I have a project that needs some pretty fancy cutting. I've never converted anything to G-code before - always just written the code myself from drawings.

My mill control program (Mach 3) can convert .dxf files to g-code fairly easily. But inventor doesn't export .dxf's...

I searched the forums and was rather shocked to see that this has never been discussed before. I'd think with all the Inventor users in the FIRST community at least someone would know how to do this.

So what's the best way to go about getting a 2-D g-code out of Inventor?
