My girlfriend is making an art project where she is having an image printed and cut out on a metal plate.
The firm responsible for doing this is demanding a .dwg file (and something called polyline; some sort of setting maybe?).
Neither of us have heard about this file format, and I find the information about it quite confusing. Most pages seem to link to some schetchy "FooToBarConverter" software, that I frankly don't trust.
Could someone please enlighten us on what we need to do, or point to some safe and preferably free software that could do this?
(An explanation of the dwg format and the polyline thing would also be much appreciated)
