    I do. I'm only a moderate user though. What can I help you with?

    I was just wondering if it is worth the monthly price. I am a total noobie when it comes to cnc and I was looking for a decent CAD that I can afford.

    It is to me. But I would check out the very nice set of youtube posted tutorial videos to get an idea of what you can do with it first. There is also usually a 3 month free trial you can get for it. The SethCNC channel, or James Dean Designs both have the link to get the 3 month trial.

    You can use it to plot out text and shapes to machine. You can also manipulate, but not create 3d models to use for carving. You can also import images to make engraving designs. You can also use it for inlay work for wood.

    Vcarve Desktop is also very powerful and relatively easy to use with great tutorial videos. It has a one time fee rather than monthly payments. I use it all the time on my rotary lathe for carving 3D items out of wood scrap and large tree branches. VCarve Desktop v11
