There is no "conversion" in principle. First file is the output of AutoCAD or other CAD, a CAD file. The second one is the CAM file, describing technological process. Do I even have to explain why one cannot be just "converted" into the second, because of the lack of information?

AutoCAD file is, essentially, just the technical drawing. In a way, it isn't even a "real" CAD file, it's just the file showing where the lines of the technical drawing are. The CAM file essentially shows how the instrument moves, in what sequence, which what speed on every step of the manufacturing process. This is a lot of additional information.

Of course, there is a good amount of software assisting creation of g-code and possibly importing AutoCAD files. You can perform the search and find out what do you need.
