Hi,

 

>> I have access to AutoCad. But is it really necessary?

You can't access geometry within a DWG-file without software that can open this file.

A DWG-file is not an open source format and so the number of libraries which can read that format is really limited. Using AutoCAD is the most appropriate way.

 

>> Can you explain this detail?

Nothing much to explain, open the file you need to convert to a machine language. Use API to get the objects in modelspace of the DWG and convert each geometry type to your NC codes.

 

>> The project for now should be just simple 2D-Polylines and text,

Text could be tricky as AutoCAD (without additional development) does not have access to the contours of a true-type font. But Polylines (take care: AutoCAD knows 3 types of Polylines, and one polylinetype knows a additional settings like "curved" and "splined", you can test this with AutoCAD command _PEDIT)
