Has anyone had much to do with free cad on here?? any help is appreciated.

I used to draw with AutoCAD a lot when I ran a couple of large 3 axis CNC's, and had a little experience with the free software QCAD, but that was used mostly for converting clients CAD files to use in our older version of AutoCAD.

In terms of programming the CNC using the CAD files, I used programs like ToolPath and EnRoute 5

Also think the first few programs i do with it will be using foam on the table, just until i am ok with what i am doing
