I use dolphin cad cam. It seems as if it would suit your needs about as good as it can. Partmaster level 3 is mainly a 2d 2.5 software.

I represent Case Systems, a casework manufacturer in Midland, MI. I design custom cabinets using AutoCAD then the parts are drilled/routed on one of several CNC machines. We drill flat panels partial depth and some all the way thru. We also do routing of angles, and radius cuts. No edge profiling.
Currently the head CNC operator programs the CNC's in the shop using different software for each different machine. We would like to generate the G-Code in the office and convert it to 2-D bar code and print it on the shop paperwork to be scanned at each machine.
We have looked at Mastercam, it will do what we want but seems to be overkill for our needs. We have a very old copy of AutoLink90, but no one knows how to use it. We have been trying to contact Delmac for some weeks now but they have not returned several phone calls or emails. Does anyone have recommendations for software that will run inside of AutoCAD and convert the drawings to G-Code?

They can take AutoCAD files, create the barcodes and machine code. We've been doing this for about 10 years now. You'd need to call and talk to them to find out exactly what you'd need to do what you want.
You don't need MasterCAM (or really any CAM) for the type of work you do. Simple AutoCAD drawings is all you need for the parts your making, and is pretty much how it's done in the industry.
A great thing with CadCODE is that it's a very flexible system. It's easy to do single parts, or you can batch multiple parts all at once. It can process hundreds of parts, creating barcodes and g-code, in seconds.

Thanks for the recommendations.
I will take all of them to our group at work and evaluate them.
Hi Masters !!! I was in Peoria ,Illinois the last October,to taken a course about NX Cad Cam Training,so,I need know if you have some demo or comments about this software,until where I saw in the course,I think this is a excellent software tp programming and design in CNC machines.please if you can explain me better about this.
