Title: Importing Drawing Files Into Lazy Cam
Post by: Stez on July 19, 2009, 07:07:35 AM

Hi

I am very new to CNC and am looking to purchase a Marchant Dice machine and Mach 3.

I understand that you import drawings into Lazy Cam, convert them to G Code to run on Mach 3.

What (simple / easy to use) drawing package should I go for, I already have a copy of Corel Draw 7.

My pc is running with Windows XP.

Thanks for your help.

Stez,
Here is a link to what RC posted requarding a CAD program. I think $39??

Maybe RC can reaffirm if still satisfying his needs.
