Re: I’m new hello from Washington 🥴
Welcome Jeffoboy! I use a Fusion 360 for mechanical drawing but find it cumbersome for artistic stuff so I use Coreldraw for that. Many others here use Inkscape for artistic stuff as it is free to use. What brand of table are you working with?

I use Inkscape for open drawing and tracing, and Turbocad for mechanical drawing

Re: I’m new hello from Washington 🥴
i have a langmuir systems, I will check into coreldraw and inkscape. I have a lot of great plans, but yea fusion is very tough to input my art. I do see how it would be helpful when it comes to actual hard parts and fabrication. i do still plan on using it for that as well. thanks a lot i hope to learn a lot more from this group.

I use SheetCam for G-code gen, I has many Post Processors to choose from as it works with lots of controller software packages. Easy to use and add or nest parts for a larger cut operation.

For artistic drawings and shapes that are not CAD friendly, use an iPAD and the free app VECTOR Q with an Apple Pencil. It is very easy to use for drawing, and it handles things like crossovers and stray nodes very well.
