How to draw a simple oblong with holes in it - and text?

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I am trying to use AutoCAD to create a '.dxf' file for a front panel (of a case) for Modushop.biz's CNC machine.

I have done this before using Visio (which can output a .dxf file) but they have a new CNC machine which seems to have difficulty reading the text produced by a Visio .dxf file.  So Modushop.biz suggested I use AutoCAD, instead.

 All I am trying to do is:

• create a rectangle 124 x 44mm
• put a text box inside it, and also
• put some 9mm holes inside the rectangle.

But I have absolutely no idea how to achieve this! 

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, cadder, I can't see how to attach a file (eg. the .dxf file produced by Visio) to my post?

Also, I notice you have included some of my last post in your answer.  Whereas I can just see how to 'Reply'?

Other Fora offer a choice of:

1. 'Reply' - iow, just write your text, as an independent reply, and
2. 'Quote' - write your text directly in response to a previous reply.

But I can't see how to do #2, here?

Thanks,

Andy
