2D CAD is pretty easy, its all lines, arcs, and circles tied together to make a design. CAD makes it easy to draw to scale. I am not sure if TurboCAD can save in DXF format, but that was what was required. If you were just making a template for yourself to print out and use, TurboCAD would be great (scales too).

3D is a different story. This is my Tactical Punisher Design, based on the "Purist" I received from Robert Williams.


I can't wait to see these shave ready.
That is a most impressive drawing. Someday we will be able to design anything we want, and "print" it out as a sort of electrolytically-milled hologram in hardened steel. I hope I am still young enough to care.

Turbocad Designer 18 can both open and save in DXF format, but I would check up on any earlier version. On opening a DWG drawing and saving as DXF, a warning appears that it may not save all Turbocad features. But on a cursory trial I can't see which, and I think it may only apply to some that aren't needed for simple 2D work.
