CabMasterPro User Guide
The DXF contains the geometry and cutting instructions, i.e which tools to use determined by the DXF layer, for each piece of geometry (polylines for router cuts and circles for drill holes mainly). But it does not provide details on things like edging info and material name etc which are often needed on the labels.
The DXT is needed to pull everything together and is particularly important if you want labels on the parts cut. A DXT is like a batch file providing references to each DXF and also providing extra information typically needed for labels on the cut parts. One DXF cuts one part.
When parts are created directly (e.g. DXFs from AutoCAD) there is no DXT. GigaDXF lets you multi select and load a group of DXF's and then create a DXT. If you have multiple little jobs you can also load them (load several DXTs) and append to make one bigger job and save one DXT for that.
