Igor, Alan, QCad doesn't do CAM. It sound like that Don needs 3D CAM, usually this means ornamental style work.
HeeksCAD and HeeksCAM is a option there, but I am not sure if it does 5-axis, something to check I think. On the #CAM channel there are a lot of talks about it. I am personally working on a fork of QCad called CADuntu, that will have CAM functions, but only 2.5D (pocketing, profiling), but I am still porting. CADuntu is currently in alpha and is on-going work... Ries On Sep 1, 2010, at 4:41 PM, Igor Chudov wrote: > Alan, how much have you done with it?
