oh, has the same OI as solidworks :yes:

Oh. I did not know that! SolidWorks is real nice, too. I've been using AI since high school, so I kinda stuck with it.

bb16 - I'll be sending you some questions soon about solidworks... I have the program but can't figure out how to use any of the features for the life of me...

i run proD, then make things look pretty in solidworks :D

Hey ben, im me i got somthing for you to draw up for me

The motor plate looks great - Just need to tweak the top plate now :)

it IS tweaked

It would be great if there was a place to mount a MMM on the top plate.

bb i am about to buy a mill this winter and convert it t cnc what g-code cad software you recommend, i am totally new to this cad stuff but need figure it out just need to know good software to use.

the cnc software and the CAD software are completley independant of each other- as long as you export your files from CAD in a format that the CNC can read your fine

yeah that is what im saying i dont know what ones to get.. My cnc machine will use mach3 and what ever else i need and that is what i am confused on.

hmm i wouldnt know what software to use for the cnc itself... :no:

I believe this may be a all in one type deal not sure. this is what will come with my stepper motors and control box but it seems this can design certain things but not a total cad type software. http://www.machsupport.com/

well i dont know what files that can import...

Allows direct import of DXF, BMP, JPG, and HPGL files through LazyCam
