I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on design software.
I have some concepts i want to further investigate, possibly milled. Is there a package out there that i should consider over others...
emachineshop isnt very me friendly, and i am sure there is better programs available with a few being relatively affordable.
End result of software would be producing a usuable file for a machinist...
so what do you have running?
the way i look at it, it seems like it would be cheaper in the long run to invest at my end to work up some things, although depending on other factors... i wouldnt be totally against having it done for me... in which case any cad type program should suffice.
