Hi guys, looking to design my leaving cert engineering project. It will be machined on a cnc router so I was wondering what software is more suitable? DraftSight or http://www.ptc.com/products/creo-elements-direct/modeling-express/ Thanks

Creo is a professional package thats not easy for the untrained user to get to grips with. Its a good modelling package but it tends to crash a lot unless you have a very powerful machine. If your planning on going on to study engineering then give Creo a go, its not easy but it is good!
