    CAD programs

    Wondering what you guys think about all the different CAD programs out there. I'm going to learn one, so disregarding cost which would you say is the best?
    I've done very, very limited cnc work on some old school equipment and wanted to know if you always have to transfer your CAD file into another program to draw the toolpaths and send it to the machine or is there one program that can do it all? If you have to use two programs which of these would you say is the best?
    Thanks
