    Shouldn't artCAM be in the CAM software group?

    It seems kinda weird to me having artCAM Pro in the "Engraving and Art Design Software" category. I guess it's ability to create .STL reliefs distinguishes it as "Art Design Software" instead of another CAM-only package like MasterCAM or OneCNC?

    Not that anybody asked, but if it was up to me I would probably list CAM packages in CNCZone by their retail price. Under $300, Under $1000, and Over $1000.

    Imo, ArtCAM is much more a design program than a CAM program.
