I have the CNC mill, I know what I'm going to make the design of the oscillating engine is more or less finished and drawn up. Now what? 
I have to get the drawing of the item I wish to make on the CNC mill and translate that drawing item into Gcode then put the Gcode into Mach3 so that the mill can make it.
Gee whiz never knew it was going to be this complicated, well I soon gave up writing the Gcode manually - my remaining life span just wasn't going to be long enough.
I need something that will take the drawing of the item and translate it into Gcode, so along came Cut2d. Something else I now have to learn
never ending this.
I normally do my drawings in TurboCad mainly working drawings for me, so they can be somewhat odd. Done in 1st angle, 3rd angle and DaveH angle all on the same page sometimes using a mixture of metric and imperial dimensions really very bad drawings
