RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] TurboCAD questions

John you mention that Turbo Cad now has a cam option. I know they were
working on it but I have not seen anything about it being avaialble. Do you
have any information on this. Like you I have used Turbocad for several
years and am finally able to do some real 3d modeling. Either I am getting
the hang of it or ver 8 has made this a lot easier. ( I suspect is is some
of both)

I've been using it since v1 (it was on one 5 1/4" disk then). I like the
solid modeling of the v8 Pro -- it saves me a lot of time for the things I
do!

I have not used it directly to drive a CNC as it didn't have a CAM option
until recently. I don't have the CAM so I can't comment there. I have
exported SAT, IGES, and DXF files into other CAM systems and used that
output to drive CNC's.

If you can get by with standard -- just download the free version. Only the
Pro version will allow you to make solid models.
