Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CAM Expert software

Hi Ron,

It's been posted many times, but I'd recommend you check out Fred's
Vector CAD offer (I think it's still on), and then use the free ACE
converter (and CNCpro controller) from Yeager. Or a simple free CAD
program. Check the previous posts. At $240 for CAM Expert, you are not
much cheaper then Vector CAD/CAM. I KNOW that is supported!

I notice they have a free Linux vers. And some GERBER support.
