Hi everyone

I would like to start a poll because most polls I found here is quite old, I hope to be able to get some help here to find out what software should be in the poll?

What CAD/CAM software do you recommend for 3d tool paths?

I am new to CNC machining, so I need some guidelines.
I need a software that can draw straight and multiple curved lines, circles, Ect. in 3D. So the nodes on a line can be defined in XYZ (I’ve been testing out Artcam but can only define XY and not Z).
After the lines are drawn, I need to make the tool paths follow the lines in XYZ, to be able to define what order they are made and nest the finished tool paths. When finished nesting, I need to generate the G Code for each tool and save as .tap for Mash3.

Please give me some suggestions to which software should be in the poll.

Ps. Using Windows 7
