    Cad/Cam package

    Ok I've been using AutoCad for several years now and I'm in the process of learning Bob Cad but I'm running into a wall when I'm trying to learn the cad side of it. What I want to know is, is there a Cad/Cam package like Bob Cad that the Cad side of it has the look and feel of AutoCad.

    Thanks

    Because of alot of AutoCad experience, I prefer to use it and then import in to convert to Cam program. I don't feel like going through the learning curve again.

    Same as Rob and Al.

    I export from ACAD and import into my Cam (Dolphin) software for exactly the same reason- I don't want to go through the learning curve again.
