Hi,
I'm looking for a decent CAD program for designing model houses for CNC manufacture. I currently use Coreldraw to draw the individual parts in 2d which I then export to separate cnc software for production. The problem is that with Coreldraw there is no way to view the assembled parts in 3d view so I can't see the finished design until it has been made. I'm not familiar with CAD programs such as Turbocad and Autocad, but I was wondering if these would offer the functionality I'm looking for and how easy they are to learn to use. I know a lot of people here use Sketchup, but I don't think that would produce output compatible with my cnc software. I would be grateful for any advice on this subject.
Thanks,
Richard.
