GGCad is a software that generates g-code. It is designed as an intuitive CAD application. Its philosophy which differs from classical tools that you can find, makes it as the indispensable software for both new users and experts. You will be able to use it rapidly, in the CAD mode or the CAM mode. Its philosophy uses the "wysiwyg" method : What you see is what you get. Its evolved CAD module brings to the user drawing tools that are found in usual CAD system : shapes like points, lines, circles, arcs, ellipses, texts, splines, as well as transformation tools like rotation, symmetry, scale, moving.Its flexibility will allow you to manage your drawings simply and rapidly. Its CAM module allows you to define simple tool path as well as complex tool paths such as pocketing. Its import functions will allow you to use all your drawing made from other CAD system.
To get rapidly used to GGCad, your are advised to do the tutorials. Final files from tutorials are available in the download page.
