Re: EMC-Making chips

I think the catagories should be

Design
CAM
DXF/HPGL to G code.
G code interpreter for stepper
G code interpreters for Servos

Some of the above catagories may be combined depending on the software.
BobCad and Vector will let you design a part then use the Cam features to
produce the G code. Autocad will only produce the design.
If there are HPGL convertor programs that would be nice also
