What CAD do you use ? ( was Re: 2000 members, 15 cnc related programs?????

Hi Ballendo,

I am surprised ! totally surprised.
I think the question had come up weekly as to
what software to use and
there are 8 CAD related programs
there are 9 Tool Path realted programs and
there are ONLY 6 motor controlling programs.

It seems then that talk of software boils down to just a very few
choices ???

I use Generic Cadd for it total speed and DOS environment
and Visual Cadd to read those generic cadd files into windows when
needed. Generic Cadd S__ks at DXF so it is not a current program.

I am surprised that TurboCNC was not listed, I just fired an e-mail
off to Dave to get him put in his listing.
