Then they can lift the parts off of the plans and nest them into the sheets, programing for the cutting process. I think you will be lucky if Kinkos can convert the file. That is why I mentioned trying to find a local shop that may be willing.
There may be some other options. Possibly the AMA could do it, or a manufacturer like SIG. The AMA has a laser cutting service, they may convert you plans. I used to have my own kits cut by sig back in the late 90's and they may be able to do it as well. Not sure if Sigf offers these services anymore. I would bet you would have to mail your plans to them.
