Coreldraw seems to be the defacto standard for laser cutter/engravers, I did learn to use it with mine, It works well for engraving. But its only2D for drawing?
I never did like the drawing aspect of it, as I was too used to Autocad.
The original driver with my laser did not have a raster option for Autocad, but it does now, so for me Coreldraw is not needed.
