chrisb0109 Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I searched for turboCAD and it costs money which I don't have. Thanks anyway though. Out of the ones on that list which do you think would be the most useful and user friendly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asm Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 theres also this thing called the internet, the internet has programs where you can download other programs. pretty neat huh. and then other sites have these wierd arrangement of letters and numbers that when you put them into the program it magically makes it yours. imagine that. now, i dont know where one would find this kind of stuff, nor am i supporting it. but think about that while im using my SolidWorks 2004 wich is over 5k.

They were selling full copies on the street for $15.00. mastercam? wow. i've been looking at their site for a couple months now. they have some cool stuff.
