List of CAD/CAM Software

"NC Corrector v4.0, a free editor visualizer programs for CNC milling machines (G-code)."

I'd like to add my program, JointCAM to the list. Creates g-code for traditional woodworking joints. It's still in development, but is avaiable now.

Pity about the name;

I've never used it, but I'm seriously considering it.
I had hoped to one day purchaser a full seat of AutoCAD. But, Autodesk is going subscription only next year for all their products, and this is a great deal.

Nobody mentioned Rhino,which i believe may be the best program money wise/feature wise. In real life most of the people i know of, use Rhino+some integrated cam. That and Solidworks are the most popular i have seen at machining shops or small companies. Solid edge seems the most popular here for designing products and Autocad for architectural and interior design.
