Thanks for the info Fred.
I downloaded the demo (I already had the demos of DesKam and DeskArt) but I don't think my computer of choice for this project will be able to drive it. I plan on doing the design/conversion work on this one and then transferring the G code file to another computer to run the machine.
I was recently given three old laptops (none working) and I am hoping to get at least one back on its feet and use that as a dedicated unit with the CNC router/engraver/mill. One is a 486 B/W with an intermittent screen problem, one is a P1 (colour) which apparently does run but needs a HD and adapter tray (none installed at the moment) and the third is only good for parts as it is missing the HD, processor chip, CD drive and power supply.
This is CNC on a budget...lol....I haven't had to resort to dumpster diving yet but if I see anything I can use it will come home
