Any Turbocad users here?

I usedTcad for quite a long while and, as you say, it's fine for 2D. The biggest issue I had was that when you made a mistake, or realised that you needed to go back and change something you did earlier, making corrections could be a nightmare and I found it usually quicker to delete the lot and redraw from scratch. The ability to go back and "change history" in F360 was a revelation. Just remember the principle "never use a dimension when you can use a constraint" and building 3D models is a breeze. But there's a big difference between modeling in F360 and drawing in Tcad. But newer versions of Tcad might be better - I haven't updated mine for a few years.

For woodworking, the Vectric software is pretty good, although not cheap. They have worked hard to include tools that are useful and avoid over-complicating things. The CAM is built-in and is much easier to use for wood. F360 CAM is great for more engineering type things but more complicated to use.
