*Consult your software manual on which type of dxf to use and how best to import and convert it to your system. dxf usually converts to Gerber, Optitex, Lectra and Tukatech. Older systems may need a converter. You can find a service to have it converted to your system. Research a service provider based on your system.
The zip file was made on a mac. PC users can use winzip, 7zip and winrar to unzip the compressed files. Later versions of Windows have a built in unzip capability.
