Here is why hand-coded g-code files can't be used for "real work".
I have a part (see link below) that is one of dozens of parts in a
quadruped robot. The parts have to be modeled and moved in a simulation to
verify fit. But also we use strees analysis to verify none of the design
is over-build

yep i have done several big injection molds with fusion 360
just recently bought bobcam for solidworks which is better than fusion at
4th axis stuff unless you pay for the extensions.
i don't trust autodesk and want out now before I invest any more time and
money. Also i don't trust cloud softwa

Indeed, you still get some pretty decent 3D HSM toolpaths with the
free version. And 3.5D too as it will rotate the work for different

VisualCAD/CAM 20022 - standard cost slightly less than the milling I
bought so it is not to bad. Currently unemployed and have however been
able to solve my needs in other ways with some more time spent but if I

I use F360 too, though rather hate myself for it.
But I have been using Autocad in various guises since the 1990s and at
this point I don't need yet another hobby.

I'm puzzled.

Solidworks, FreeCAD, Fusion360 all are pretty much the same in terms of the
user interface. If doing serious work, just buy the paid version of
Fusion360 and sign up for real classes, Actually do the exercises. It is
normal for it to take weeks or months of daily use before you get good at
it.
Only experience I have with alibre was when they were the new kid on the
block, trying to compete with solidworks and their interface was almost as
painful as freecad is now😆

That FreeCAD subject has once again prompted me to ask how people are using
their CAD/CAM to generate G-Code.
For the first time in about 10 years (or maybe more now) I've refused to update
my support for MecSoft Visual CAD/CAM because their response to my question was
_probably_never_.
