QCad may be ok for 2d stuff, but making physical parts out of the raw material is 3d work. Toss in that nothing on this planet can takes its output and make cgode out of it and my interest takes a running swan dive off the 3 meter board & lands in a painful belly flop. It, due to my being a rank newbie at any sort of cad, doesn't seem like I should waste my time on something that can't be cobbled up and fed to something else to firm up the code, & that code then to a gcode generator. I will try to take the time to learn something that CAN do end to end design, but haven't found that just yet.
