Best software for Linux users?

[birchy]

Like FreeCAD and HeeksCAD, I didn't find Medusa4 very intuitive either. QCAD and DXFtoGcode seem to work well together and I created some runnable gcode within a few hours of installing them. Given standard orthographic views drawn with QCAD, can 3-axis gcode be created? Or am I expecting too much? I'm not going to be making any highly complicated sculptures or anything like that, however I WILL need full control of the XYZ axis.

Not in the sense of curves and rounds on the verticals but if we are talking steps in the work piece then yes. You just need to set the stepped parts up on separate layers and adjust with your tool depth. That is how i deal with things like countersink holes etc etc
