RE: One question.

If you want to send your files to a lazer guy to get the parts cut you may want to be able to convert your parts files to .DXF or .IGES format. Might want to check this out before you purchase software.

RE: One question.

I like this one:

It's great if you haven't done any CAD drawing before because it includes step-by-step tutorials.
