Vector is pretty much the same thing as Bobcad, so I've heard. If you have a copy already, there is no harm in trying to get it working.
Bobcad or Vector level programs are plenty good enough, IMO, for hobbyists just getting started in simple nc programming. But, if you can't get Vector working, watch the Bobcad site for 1/2 price specials, which appear quite frequently.
Maybe some of the other guys can vouch for the "bestest, cheapest" CADCAM that they know of.
