    I figured I better download that software and mess around with it before I really need it. That stuff is fantastic! With some practice ya can design literally anything, no matter how complex.

    I designed a 3" steel cube with .5" holes thru the center from all sides with some rounded edges and lettering machined .5" deep, in a short time.

    This is part of the workspace with a front view of the finished design-


    This is a small video of the 3D view of the cube in a few different modes. It's very smooth, full screen, and higher quality when you're actually using the software.

    20 seconds, 1.83 mb, 320x240, wmv file-

    Great stuff! Give it a try.
