Well, I do it THREE different ways. If the job is VERY simple, I can write
the G-code directly, or even type it in in MDI mode. Many simple tasks
I do with my own programs, some of which are now part of the EMC GUI,
to do round and rectangular pockets, etc. And, if the geometry is more
complex,
I do it in Bobcad - which isn't great, but works.
