I do my "artwork" in Corel Draw Windows, export as DXF, convert to gcode with ACE (windows), tweak the gcode in CIMCOEdit, then copy it to a USB flash drive, copy from flash to EMC machine, do final tweaks in gedit or scite and run it. I don't think your problems come from the Windows/Linux copy pr
