The company that I work for uses this daily. What type of info do you need?

[SShep71]

The sales rep I talked to from Bobcad claims their software will turn my autocad 2012 2D drawing into the proper G code for my CNC with minimal user input. I wanted to know how effectively it actually works. I have a Prototrak edge CNC mill and lathe

I work at BobCAD-CAM and know the software well. Yes it will work with you DWG files and post G code for your prototrack mill. If you have any questions or need help let me know.
