There's a few of us out there... I learned G-code with a pencil and
legal pad, so Bobcad is El-Deluxo! And I only had to dig into the manual
when I wanted to try to mill some text. Other than that, I've NEVER
messed with the docs. Made my living with V14(demo!) and V16 for 6
years. Have V17 and V19 now, use V17 the most. Only qualifier I'll add
is at the price point of Bobcad, I don't expect it to do everything. And
in fact, since I'm commercial, I like to know EXACTLY what is happening
at all times and write programs that are clean, tight, easy to modify,
and with zero wasted motion.

Tried a couple others, no names. One was as totally non-intuitive as I
think a program can get. I have better things to do that delve into a
manual every 2 minutes trying to do the most basic things. The other I
think is a good program, but forced me to jump through extra hoops I
didn't feel I should have to.

I bought TurboCAD/CAM 2.0 from Greg. While I've been blessed with an
unprecedented run of steady repeat work and haven't had need for
generating any new code, I've been playing with it a bit and think it's
going to be a great fill-in until I can get into a really high end program.

And, I'll always use Bobcad for ultra quickie stuff.
