Having it raised and with a 3/8" border will be a taunting task, at best. I opened the .dxf file in SketchUp with no problems and checked it out. On a 8x8 piece of wood the max bit diameter you can use is 1/16" and maybe even smaller. To pocket out all the material you don't want with a 1/16" bit is a chore since you'll have to have the bit do an overlap when pocketing or the final result will look like grooves and not flat. In this specific design, the bigger the piece you use the easier it will be to do.
Opened your file in QCAD Converted everything to Polylines using the Draw > Polylines from Selection command Took that into CAM Added a square as a border around (as a boundary, to pocket the negative space) Selected-all (Ctrl+A) Added to a new toolpath, pocket, apply: Just learn to cleanup DXFs, its a valuable skill and takes no time at all Attached the fixed DXF and OpenBuildsCAM Workspace Export (You need to modify feedrates, tool diameters, etc to suit your actual job) As mentioned earlier above: That's all I did here, converted it to DXF R14 Polyline format for you, didn't even need any other cleanup.

hi, i a having similar problem, actual cutting is smaller off by inch, i noticed the error follows the size, larger design the worst, and its scale issue as the diff is distributed to both x,y axis
Hi @Peter Van Der Walt and @Mark Carew , Just congrats on the OpenBuilds CAM software!! I just tested it, and it is fantastic... easy to use. It works exactly as expected. Well done, and thank you for such a tool. Regards, GS76
On setting up it has a drop down list of machines. My Ox CNC is not listed. Should I use WORKBEE? Ken
