    The ability to import drawings and images to scale into your CAD would be handy, when I need to replicate a complex part I photograph it against a 1mm graph paper background, crop and size the image correctly in photoshop then import that image into CAM. In CAM I can then use the art module to create edge outlines, draw over/around the required areas or a combination of the two.
