Why .dxf as the CAD file?
AutoCAD has a proprietary file version that is only available through a license. There is an open–source option that allows for greater flexibility of workflows with the .dxf extension.
How to Install
- Download the free ODA file converter

- Use the ODA converter to convert the .dwg to .dxf
- Import the .dxf to Match the Cut
