CAD Tips for CNC Newbies

[@grahamshere]

Thanks, John, Are you making more CAD videos, I've been wanting to get into CAD. I only have the free programs like fusion360 and free cad but I have no clue how to use them at the moment, How do you find the anomalies?

Not sure Graham, I'm a bit of a ludite in that I use only 2d CAD which isn't in favour with many. For what 90% cut on their machines it is the best option, just not sexy. I'm more than happy to talk about the one I use and or answer further questions on CAD. FreeCad I personally think is an aboniation with all the different workbenches. I have previously used Fusion360, it didn't suit how my mind works but I understand it isn't as free as it was. I recently tested Alibre, I liked it but found that at the level of package I needed, I don't need anything high end, some basic features were missing, so I stopped testing. If I can get my hands on PunchCAD to test, that one appears to operate how I do.
