Just wondering what makes you say the Plasmacam software is garbage???
I'm certainly no expert when it comes to CAD but, I find the Plasmacam software very easy to use.....Have done for a long time although, Design Edge has been a massive step foward.
Intuitive, accurate, easy to import a host of file formats with relative ease and, the available cutting parameters make for great machine control.
Definately a long way from garbage....IMHO.
(I have no affiliation with Plasmacam, other than acting as moderator on 2 online forums)
