I use Solidworks.

Steve, with all due respect... and I have great respect for anyone in the industry who has gotten to learn Solidworks but try to see the other side here. I'm not exaggerating when I say this:

I would not even own a Tormach, or even be playing with my own CNC machine or bothering with doing ANY of this if it wasn't for Fusion 360. I would never have pulled the trigger on this whole process with the added expense of Solidworks and it's CAM. Never would have happened. So whether Fusion is as mature as Solidworks or not it's a darn miracle for those of us trying to get in on this reasonably.

I'm a total newbie at milling or machining of any kind and my very first major part after making a set of vise jaws was a very complex piece of titanium that had to be machined from 5 sides with all sorts of 3D toolpaths. Like I said, a darn miracle for those of us who have nothing otherwise.

Be gentle.
