    Hi Glenn I have just joined the forum and am waiting for my open build C-Beam kit to be delivered. I am planning on making panels for use in XPLANE 11 and DCS and noticed your posted image. I am new to CNC and know I have a lot to learn I was wondering what software do you use for your panel creation, I have seen a guy on YouTube recommend Cut2D which he has used for his Warthog panel for DCS. Do you have any reccomendations.

    Thanks in advance

    Ste

    Hi Stephen
    I think he is using Sketchup for the drawing and SketchUcam for the Gcode (it is a plugin for Sketchup).
    If you don't already have Sketchup you can get Sketchup Make 2016 from here .
    Make sure you get the 'Sketchup Make 2016' version! Why not a more recent version? 2017 requires special video hardware and 2018 is online only and the plugin cannot be loaded.

    SketchUcam you can get from here .

    Introduction to drawing and using SketchUcam is right here
