RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Simple Sketching Software

Hi, Ernie:

You can get a copy of Intellicad from CMS or Cadopia. This program is a no
cost autocad workalike. The URL is:

http://www.intellicadms.com/default.asp

Now, If you ever think that you'll want to generate G-Code from any of these
drawings, you might want to look for some of Fred Smith's messages on this
list that provide a URL for one of his products - VectorCAD. Fred sells a
"CAD Only" version for around $30. This "teaser" will do all you want for
drawings, plus you can purchase his CAD/CAM version that will take your
drawings and convert them to G-Code. With Intellicad, you can also add
Yeager Automation's ACE converter to go from DXF to G-Code, but it's not
nearly as useful as the Vector solution.
