Re: Milling an outline of lines and arcs

blank If you just want to follow the lines (to engrave for example). Once you have your DXF imported, you can open the Draft workbench, select all the shapes and "Modification->Draft to Sketch". That will create a sketch with all the lines, which can then be used in Path for an engraving ...
