If anyone is looking for a good CAD program that is VERY easy to use try out the demo! If you can get it at the student price it is truly a steal!

www.rhino3d.com

The program is excellent! I love it!

What are the features?

[tauscnc]

First, thanks for this GREAT forum!
It would take me forever to figure out how to answer that question It is a very easy program to use, looks nice and works fast! The entire program is only around 11.5 megs! I have used turbocad 3D and there is no comparison. You really would have to download the demo and try it out, see how fast you can get used to it.

What does TurboCad do?

[hardmill]

Go check out Turbocnc forum.
Balsaman is a user and can probably give us all the
info.

Hi,

No, turbocnc and turboCad are different programs.

TurboCNC runs your stepper motors, TurboCad is inexpensive CAD software. I only have used TurboCNC.

In addition, McNeel's customer service is second to none. Monitor the Rhino ng and you'll pick up some excellent tips and get an idea of what this excellent program can do.

Just downloaded the test version. If I can somehow afford it, the permanent version will be on my computer soon! It is mind bogglinly easy to use! I've only tried a couple other 3D programs, can't even remember their names...wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy! I think I can actually do this computer stuff! It was even easier than turboCAD 2D! So cool.

I know nothing about CAD programs, so my questions can be dumb. How does CAD programs works?

They work good, Ezland00. Some better than others, though.

CAD = Computer Assisted Drafting. The program is simply a method of drawing without paper and pencil. The accuracy is far higher, and the convenience of modifying a drawing is almost infinitely better than paper and pencil.

Download a demo of......Bobcad or whatever, and play around with it.

This is the best place I have found to buy Rhino 3d. I got my Rhino 3d plus Flamingo renderer here.
