Hi.Hi
I am new in wood working . I am looking for a professional software for design.
Please help me and tell a good software for decoration design and ... in the wood industrial.
I am wait for your reply.
Thank you
I agree, one may start out on the free version, learn the program and, if it appears to work out, switch to the paid version and gain a few extras. I've been working with it for months now and it does everything I want it to do.Hi.
I don't know how 'professional' this program - that I am about to mention - might be considered to be, but it certainly is well-heeled, and also VERY cost effective (free). The name of this program is Google Sketchup. I am getting my feet wet with it, and really loving it. You may want to give it a shot, as it could very well be something quite workable for you. I find that I (also a woodworker) need no other program for my product design efforts.
Wish that I did. But I have been hearing a lot about two other CAD programs: EasyCad, and DeltaCAD. Don't anything about them, personally, but I am sure that you could download their respective trial versions, and kick their tires a bit.hi
Thank you for your reply
the cost is not important for me i saw the skatchup software on youtube.com , I don't have any experience on it but it sound so limit on tools and design?
Do you know a more power full software?
One of the biggest benefits of Sketchup is actually the availability of downloadable models - for example hinges - you can actually import an accurate model of a real hinge that you may use in your project and integrate it into your design.hi

The free version is great for semi professional work.
The Pro Version is a bit more costly (Around $450) and is very full featured design program. Its 3D intersection capability for combining externally designed parts is fantastic. The ability to extrude is enhanced in the pro version. But if you are looking for 3D design tools, I think you should at least look at SketchUp 8.0. And read up on the Pro version. I have used both and I find them imprtessive.
It is not CAD or CNC oriented, but I think you can get bolt-ons. You would have to check.
While I don't want to discourage you from learning some kind of design software -- it's a fantastic tool to know, and I wish I had the time and energy to put in to learn it! -- but is there a good reason not to do your design work with pencil and paper?Hi

Can you be more specific about what type of help you need with "tools and design?"hi

In a way - maybe, but there is nothing wrong in sharing the feature set benefits of such a program when (especially) there is NO outlay of 'greenbacks' required. What I am about to add has nothing to do with the OP, because he had already made it clear that cost was no concern for him. But, everyone doesn't have the financial wherewithal bu which to avail themselves of what they might be needing. Additionally, it doesn't always take a mega-bucks program to allow for one to do what one might wish to do.This thread started to sound like a sketchup infomerical.
