For the money involved to purchase & ease of use for your brackets & geometric shapes DeltaCAD, Sheetcam, & Mach is a really hard to beat combination.
I've not really used DeltaCAD but did download & play with it enough to know for a CAD software it's about as easy as it gets.
Sheetcam, Well I can't say enough here. For the money there's a lot of bang for the buck there. Support is second to none.
Mach is also in a class all by itself for the investment.
I purchased a copy of Corel but haven't fooled with it any. My machine was built to use on a daily basis. To process 3/8" & up steel for manufacturing parts for heavy underground mining machinery. I just haven't had the need for art work. Sooner or later someone will want & I'll have to learn it.
There is a learning curve to all of them. Probably Mach was my personal largest mountain to climb. It will do so much more than run a simple 2-D burning center. It was in picking out the small part of it I needed to run a burning table that was the challenge. I used Torchhead's (www.CandCNC.com) hardware to interface my table to the computer. That took lots of the Mach learning curve out. His package deals come with a support CD that does much of the Mach configuration for you.
