At the risk of much incoming wrath from HWSNBN I'm going to ask if anyone has any experience in using this CAD drawing system http://www.emachineshop.com

My son is trying it out for his Brit Nuts & Bolts business, and he's getting on fairly well. I've spent a few minutes on the demos, but I need to install Parallels to run the program on a MAC, and all that is a pain - and costs $80.

It looks like hulls and small parts could easily be designed and machined. Any bright sparks out there tried it?

First of all, drop Parallels & use VNWare's Fusion if you want to run Windoze. Its much, MUCH better & you can download a trial for no cost.

Even better, just segment your HD & run it native via Bootcamp. Just as with Fusion & Parallels, you'll need to install Win7 first but you'll be running native instead of using a virtual machine. Its what I do with the few Win programs I need for business.
