Hi Taz
Thought I would forward the contents of a mail I received from BobCad for your information. I have not tried the software myself yet, I am too busy getting eCabs & Rolling nest under my belt. It looks very good and would probably be great for 3D work and signage. I get by very well with eCabs and DXF's for all my requirements manufacturing cabinetry etc.

Cheers

bobcad/cam

I have been using bobcad/cam for many years on different machines. The software is very similar to autocad. It is very user friendly, you can learn it on your own, but if you want to get up and running right away I would get the training videos or take a training class.

As for pricing the software is always around 995.00 they run this promotion all the time. If you want to do sign work you should probably look at Bobart as well, it is a upgrade that will take images and make them into machineable lines.

If you have anymore questions you can email me at zach@lyndancabinets.com
