Hello....

Long time ago I ask what cad/cam to use.
Is there maybe better (and probably free) software that I use?
for 2D I use TurbocadLE and for 3D modeling sketchup.
For 2D I'm happy with that just like to have one package for all the work. But 3D with sketchup and all plugins to make some 3d part in CNC is nightmare. Ok it's a hoby use but still I don't want to spend soo lot of time to prepare NC file for cnc. I assume that drawing and preparing should take less time than actual machining. But with software I have take a longer... lot longer...

Just now I need to make some sheet metal part and I realise that I can't draw with that I have, and unroll to cut.

So does someone have good sugesstion what to use? And please don't write I use XYZcad for $x.xxx and is capable to do all that. I look to free solution or maybe up to $200 max. Thanks
