How well will either Draftsight or Solid Edge 2D fit with the desire to eventually use it what a CNC mill?
And is there anything out there that is reasonably prices [that would be a few hundred dollars] that would allow me to do 3D modeling? The desire is to have a 3D model of the mill and be able to create the components necessary to mount the CNC items on it virtually to explore possibilities before committing it to a metal reality.
Maybe my desire to have a virtual reality could be met by Googles SketchUp but I would prefer something that would be better suited to creating a measured drawing of the specific CNC mounting item so I could then create it manually on the mill.
