I just finished my machine a few weeks ago and I have to say that the learning curve for CAD CAM NC is a hard one. I took a CAD class 20 years ago and it was AutoCad. I'm using TurboCad because it is so much cheeper. It took over a week to get the basic functions down for Mach2. My machine has cut its first part out today. My drawing have been a problem for the CAM software to convert. Now I'm re-drawing the parts I want to cut. I have to agree with Halfnutz and find some code to run then work on your own parts. You can leave messages here to get the help you need.
Good luck
