Generating DXFs From Spreadsheets

[ModernChris]

I'm trying to create a series of DXFs for quick import into our CNC software.  There's a bit of a gap between the design software (sadly not AutoCAD) and the CNC software, and we use AutoCAD to switch between them. 

However, it takes FOREVER to manually create and layer hundreds of individual pieces and save them all as individual DXFs.  Is it possible to generate a series of DXFs from spreadsheet data? Each DXF will just be a closed 4-sided polyline with a specific layer name, and a filename based on the name of the piece.  That's it, nothing too complicated.

Any help? thanks!

Have you thought about using a script to generate the files?

Indeed I have.   I haven't the faintest idea how to create scripts, though, which is why I'm here.
