Most likely he is being given artwork from the artist in the form of DXF files that he must turn into machine files that cut out signs.
Other free Linux based options might be Inkscape with G-code Tools, or Freecad. But both of them might be more painful to learn/use than what you're doing now. Of those 2 Freecad is probably the most powerful, but also the most cumbersome and difficult to use. Todd Zuercher P.
