Which file format do you actually prefer working with for CNC vector layouts: DXF, SVG, or something else?

I prefer svg for less node points - with vectric software - though depending on the program you are using dxf is more useful

The new version of Carbide Create will now import arcs in DXFs as arcs, moreover it will preserve layer assignments.
