TurboCad is a great product and we use it here frequently. To make it work with the ShopBot software, just export a DXF file and convert it to tool paths with the FC (file conversion) command. You might also be interested in Vector CAD-CAM software. This software is great for “CAM” functions, such as cutter compensation, chaining lines together in a more logical tool path, reversing direction and pocketing and filling areas. Many Shopbotters are using it along with TurboCad to provide a more logical tool path.
