Hi,
I used to struggle with a very old 17" monitor but recently upgraded to 23" and what a dramatic difference; you make a good point about screen size Gary because a good big screen makes a lot of difference. As I'm still a CAD novice drawing basic 2D shapes I find zooming to full screen size a great help.
WOW Nick; that's how it's done and what all novices would dream of doing but that's just it; in their dreams. You've demonstrated very well indeed the capabilities of CAD as it is only limited to the operators imagination. The pictures are also first class and the laser cutting crisp and sharp. Top marks Nick; I'd be over the moon to achieve such results. The forum looks interesting as well. Thanks for sharing.
Regarding the program you have and which works for you; over the years I've tried lots of programs and not one worked for me; not the program fault at all simply me being thick and not grasping the basic functions although I'm now making progress at last.
I'll stick with emachineshop as this CAD program is set up for engineering which suits me it even has a very pretty teacher on the video tutorial.
Kind regards, Col.
