    Simple machining without CAD or a model???

    Hi,

    I have some experience using MasterCAM 8 Mill (without any CAD) to do my milling. I would just draw the geometry and then generate the toolpaths.

    Is there a way to do this in SprutCAM? I can't find it. I have OK success milling out modeled parts from AutoCAD, etc. But sometimes you just want to do something simple without CAD.

    Any tips?

    Thanks,
    Dave
