Unfortunately Autodesk have rather taken the wind out of the sails of the open-source CAD / CAM projects. Fusion 360 (Windows and Mac only) is (at the moment) zero cost to hobbyists and offers very good CAD and excellent CAM. I can't help expecting Autodesk to wait until everyone is committed to their offering then "turning evil" and starting to charge. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
