CNC Software recomendations

[mondo50m]

I am using Mach 3 and Cut 2d. I have found that I can design just about anything I need to with CUT2D. Just look in the download files and all of the files that I have posted were drawn with CUT2D. I generates the g-code and then cut with Mach 3...

I just stumbled across another interesting panel Design software called "Frontdesigner 3.0". from ABACOM. This is not to be confused with "Front panel express" another panel design program.
It looks very easy to use, is set up for designing panels and 3rdly, it is very affordable at 33 euros, or $44 US dollars. File can be exported as HPGL files.

And Front Panel Designer can be used on a trial basis......I have their PCB software, Sprint 4.0. Another good product of theirs.

I do not understand what James is talking about.....the demo version of the panel designer will not let you save......and the rest of what he said is not making any sense to me....someone help

This software would be ok for making lots of panels. I prefer a true CAD package, but this certainly useable, and at that price worth playing around with. I installed the demo and it seems like you can do quite a lot.

I have been pleased with both vectric CUT2D and sheetcam. I use the free ubuntu EMC2 software to run my machine.
For 3D i use SurfCam and RhinoCam.

Hello

Some good news from the maker of SolidWorks - Dassault System.
They have lately released the public beta of DraftSight - a free 2D CAD tool.

Seems to have a lot of nice features.

Hello,
Yes you are right i also think so.By the way many people said that this software is very nice and recommendations are also very less.
