Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: OT autocad 2002 beginner help

Bert,
Thank you. I travel quite a bit. sometimes 300 days out of the year.
not so much last year but this year looks to be a long one. which is
good and bad. the good news is I am making money=-) the bad news is I
don't get to play with my toys=-( I have a beginers book on the way. and
we will see how it goes. I will probably use featurecam in the end. but
lazycam and autocad might be an option to get me to where I can make an
educated decision about what direction I want to go from there.

Thanks again for your imput.
archie =) =) =)
