Heheh.. you funny, man. My CAD consists of a mechanical pencil and

Software and I are mostly incompatible.

I was too, until I tried Rhino3D.
Just another happy customer!

Not all of us have ten Benjies to throw at a pencil problem.

Anyone use BobCAD? One of the CNC kits of stepper motors + a Gecko
G540 I'm eyeing on eBay has Mach3 and BobCAD v21 bundled with it.

I'm interested in your opinion of it:
http://www.bobcad.com/demo?download=V24%20CAD-CAM

That's the demo of the newest version. What I refer to is probably the
Express of the old v21, which is probably good enough for router
services.

Has anyone here used BobCAD v21 or v21 Express? I'd like to hear
about your opinions and experiences.

I once thought I'd won a copy after filling out an entry form for a
raffle with a fresh copy as the prize. They called a week later and my
heart stopped...until I found out that I hadn't won squat. They just
wanted to see if I had $1,500 (a $700 savings!) to try it out anyway.
I gritted my teeth, deleted my expletives, and said "Uh, no."
