    HPC laser software difficulty?

    Hi everyone, I am thinking of purchasing one of the LS3020 laser cutters but I am concerned about the software. I'm very good with computers and programs but things like autocad are a bit too much for me. How difficult is it to use the software that comes with the machine? Especially for someone that's never used it before? I will only be using it to cut acrylic, basic rectangle shapes with rounded corners and 5mm screw holes. The only thing holding me back from buying one of these is will I be able to work the software. If anybody has advice or any screenshots to show how it works I would appreciate it.

    Thanks

    If you are doing basic cuts then I would look at Vectric cut2d and do my drawings in that and export as a DXF. I do this with their Aspire software that I use for my CNC. You can down load a trial version to play with and watch the videos on how to use it.
