Re: I'll compile successful CAD->G-Code->HW strategies

There is a FREE AutoCad2000 clone at: http://www.cadopia.com, that works in
.dwg files, and uses all of the AutoCAD commands, there is a PDF file that
can be downloaded, 440 pages when printed. suggest you take a look at it.
Looks like it will do just about everything that AutoCAD 2000 will do, with a
few exceptions, that should not effect the machining projects. It also has
its own command structure with some additions over AutoCAD.
