It's not an editing tool, it's a filter that's applied at load time.  
You can have it run a dxf -> g-code converter when loading .dxf files, 
or run the file as a perl / python / whatever program and load the 
output from that.

Internally, the EMC2 system still uses only G-code.  Axis just gives you 
an opportunity to generate G-code auto-magically.
