I must say Wow! The screenshots are so much more complex than last time i
checked FreeCAD.
I'm working a lot in Rhino/MadCAM and unfortunately Rhino doesn't work in an
*x-OS, so this looks like a good candidate for my workshop PC's!

Having played with it, freeCAD looks promising. I just downloaded the

Sure,
I tried loading NCPlot in ubuntu today using the wine application and it seems
to work, slightly buggy but fully functional. That was the main program that I
was concerned with because it's the program I use most for 2D code creation.
I'll give MeshCAM a try tomorrow and see how that one works.

There is HeekCAD and HeeksCNC, but they are rather a work in progress.

Hi chris
Have you tried draftsight from the same company that makes solidworks. It is

Has anyone tried Synergy? There is a 30 day trial, but I have other

I use Synergy from Weber systems http://www.webersys.com/ for my
purposes. They have a free 30 day trial to determine you want or need

Their web page was very coy on pricing.
