Using CAD for Laser Cutting names using diff. running hand Fonts on metal n make myself a keychain out of it?

There has been a job i want to do from quite some time. It is to cut fonts on 2 or 3 mm thick metal strippes. A name is writen in a font and removed out of the metal piece and is made into a keychain. For this, i think laser or plasma arc cutting is the best.
Now i know for sure that they need a .dwg or .dxf file. I tried to use a font on Auocad for cutting directly through cad but the laser guys say that its not right and only the name wont cut. Another option was to import the dwg from coreldraw but the image has to be redrawn in autocad as the ‘pedit’ option is enabled or something like that which cause the laser to cut in dots even on a straight line. So we have to redraw in arcs, all over the font already set.

I’m not a autocad person but seams like your laser people are being lame. Heck they should be able to program it with there cam software.

But if it was me i would just buy an engraving font. Then send them a igs from autocad. If they can’t do it by this find a new laser cutting company.
