Hi DareBee,
I was really looking at the design software for future growth and the ability to take what someone brings you on a napkin and turn it into something usable(BOM, 2D drawings,& collaboration abilities), not really a CAM systems strong point, at least not the ones i've worked with. I understand that turning out parts is a shops first priority, but it never hurts to look at the other side of the coin.
