Hi all,

I've just purchased Rhino 3.0 and have done online demos with both rhinocam and onecnc express.

They seem similar from a beginners perspective, although the office style format and wizards in onecnc seem like they would ease the learning curve.

I am looking to perform mostly 2D work involving shell inlays until I get a good grasp on the software, then move to 3D for guitar parts.

This is somewhat a repeat of a prior post, since I may have been in the wrong forum.

Any pro's or cons for either?
You can view my web site for handcut examples at www.bordeauxinlay.com , although initially I will be primarily trying to do simple lettering fonts.

Thanks in advance,
Paul Bordeaux

I have RhinoCam but know nothing of OneCNC.
A feature of RhinoCam that I REALLY like is the ability to alter the CAD drawing while in the middle of setting up a toolpath. This is a feature Mecsoft mentions in their sales literature and yes, it does make editing on the fly and/or correcting previously unnoticed mistakes much easier...none of the aggravation of toggling between applications.
Again I know nothing about OneCNC so this feature may not be that unique, but it is nice.
The learning curve isn't bad either, even the process icons are set up left-to-right in the order of their use so it is not difficult to stay on track.

Beautiful work you do there!
