cad for CNC

anyone have a any ideas.. these guys use up a $5k seats on an ACAD license &
only draw simple 2d objects, LT isn't an option since LISPS are occasionally
necessary to clean up 3d files to process.
TIA

How it works with lisps - i dont know

 

Intellicad will do LISP, and there is an add-on to LT that will allow
lisps to be run. I've looked at intellicad, but haven't tried lisps
with either so I can't comment on any compatibility issues.

You may try out a free evaluation download (www.cadopia.com) and test
the Lisp routines. I have not used Lisp much, but it seems to list all
the similar functions as in AutoCAD. $5k for doing 2D only is not
worth it IMHO.

 

In a previous post longshot says...

Do you really need to run LISP's? There are some Visual Cadd users (2D)
who run CNC and could offer some tips.

Subscribe to users group listserver at the website below and post a few
questions or send them to me offlist and I will forward to the group:

You really didn't supply enough information. Any cad system will work. It
just depends on what your machine or cam program will except as far as file
format. CNC is my business. We use Mastercam (about $15000.00)
If you need the ability to run LISP, you have your answer, AutoCAD or
Intellicad though properly done, no LISP should be necessary.
