“Great software, so much better than the software that actually came with my CNC machine”
Pros
The nesting feature allows for easy editing of lead-ins and lead-outs.
Cons
I am unsure if I am fond of the CAD software that I mostly use or this one. It could be because I am more accustomed to my current CAD software. The cool thing is that I have the option to use either.
