Bryan.
I have copies of Bobcad 16.1, 17, Vector and Dolphin.
Out of the three I find Dolphin to be the easiest to learn and use.
Look at some of the links below:-

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/machines/offset.txt
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/machines/area%20clear.txt
These show who simple and easy a program it is, no convoluted
commands and rock solid G code first time.
The post processor can be configured to output exactly the correct
code your machine needs.
