Best cam program

[bob3104558]

Im extreamly new to cnc programs, me and my friend bought a Kx3, first cnc machine. I understand that the kx3 uses mach3, and i have to make a 3d drawing in a cad program and use a cam program to convert it to g-code so that mach 3 can use. I use autodesk inventor 2011 and im wondering what is the easiest program to convert my inventor files to g-code? Thank you for any help.

I would try CamBam! It's free (bata version 0.8, Rel 2) or currently about $149.00 for the newest commercial version (0.9.7)
see the "Essentials" button at cnc4free.org, for a brief summery of several helpful cnc support programs. Joe
