Thanks,
I got it to work by opening the dxf in autocad then saving it from there to dxf again. Then lasercad would open it.
I also have had no luck opening .ai files directly from lasercad. Is there a trick?

DXF's from illustrator always works if you do the following:
Release clipping mask
Release compound path
Ungroup all
Some of the above sometimes have to be done several times

Have LaserCAD open and "Import" the file.

Have LaserCAD open and "Import" the file.
It is not possible to File>Open a .ai file so yes, "import" fails mostly.
