Many of the parts I have posted photos of on the IRC were made with it. It

2.5d stuff it will do about anything you might want. It does not have

Honestly I WISH there were an open source cam software package that had
even reasonable capabilities. I use freecad a lot and it has grown by
leaps and bounds and it is quite capable today. It is not solidworks but
