Newbie- Autocad for the Syil X3?

[Digital Design]

I have the Mach3 program, but what program (autocad?)works best for exporting the G code to Mach3? (and where is a good place to get it as well)

I am very new to mills and need to head in the right direction. This is for my job, we just received the Syil X3 and I need this machine up and running soon.

Any suggestions? (besides the search)

Check out Dolphin Cad/Cam. Their software is really easy to use after a little learning. It's 2.5d, but it works very well for anything I've done in it. They are also good about sending you example videos in the event that you can't figure out how to use features.

Thanks for the fast reply, I will definitely check that out today.

Not a problem. They have free demos on their site at www.dolphincadcamusa.com. You can't go wrong with it. So far, I have made some rather complex parts for a project i'm working on and Dolphin has been able to handle it all. In addition, the guys there are great to deal with as well.

Hello,
If you are interested in Dolphin CAD/CAM USA they also have the full lineup of their software available on the eBay USA site at even better prices. Just do a search for Dolphin CAD/CAM.
