If you have nothing else to do download the demo for SynergyCAD.
Parasoiid based. 2-D, 2.5D, wireframe, solids. lathe, edm.
For the lathe you draw in X,Y and it transforms it to Z, X when you CAM.
I started from scratch and it took me a long time to get comfortable
with it. Exports are dxf, dwg
actually, I think that is what I saw that guy in that video I posted
doing. In freecad, he took a plane and intersected it with his work
piece, and then created a path (he called it a wire.). I posted that
video here a few iterations back in this thread.
That seemed kind of neat, how he

Not really, you just need to draw
In my experience you don't need to run the installer after renewing a
Fusion360 license for personal use. You just have to do some clicking on
their website. If the installer downloads automatically as a part of the
license renewal you can ignore it.

It's worth pointing out that now that LinuxCNC has G71 and G72 you
might not need CAM.

Not just Autodesk, though. Alibre did that to me.

I don't expect companies to give me stuff for free of course, they
produce software for a market, to make money, I am just not in that
market. I read that a license, per year, if not mistaken, is $495, and
you can use it for free for a year (1st year ?). That is of course a
good deal,

Moving away from Fusion360 is easy. Fusion allows you to save in ".STEP"
format. I suggest
of.

Hi Chris
Fusion360 looks very nice.
I see Fusion360 can run 'under linux',
that is it can run in a VM.

I usually find it by googling Fusion 360 for personal use or Fusion 360

There's Heeks Cad/CAM. $10 for funding development. There's no limitations to
the free version, the only difference is the free version inserts a note about
the program at the beginning of the G-Code it outputs. Easy to delete with any
text editor.

He's asking about for software for a lathe, not a mill.

Hi Chris,
well, I am only looking into something different for making some parts
on a lathe, I looked at fusion360, but what I hear is that you can't
'export' projects, or import, and also you can only have a few. Not
that I do a lot of work, but it seems to be a hassle.

What you can't do is 4-axis and 5-axis milling. To enable that you do have
to pay for a license

Hello,
I have been busy for a while with that pay check thing, and didn't have
much time to look into creating g-code, that I can use in linux cnc

Is there anything "new" yet? I was thinking about using fusion360, but
I heard that is on it's way out for even a reasonable
