Proxxon CNC Mill and nccad9 software

Hello everybody, Recently, in an attempt to get up to date I purchased the above in order to learn some basic cnc programming.Unfortunately the nccad software is mostly in german and support from Max computers (the vendors) is not overly forthcoming. I want to try and learn to manufacture loco nameplates - the ones with raised letters, for a start project.
Can anyone recommend software that will work with the machine and that I can understand?

Many thanks for your help in advance

Regards

Lofty

 

Many thanks for your reply.

The program seems fine for standard engraving, I have worked out to input the machine limits / parameters, setting tool zero height etc, and then running a simple text program ( using a pencil in the machine collet on card clamped to the table), probably not the best way forward but I am beginning to understand the way things work.

I did find a program called VCarve which shows exactly what I want to do. but I can't control the machine from it, the only way that I could see was to export the vcarve code into the nccad program as the trial version of vcarve doesn't allow export directly to the machine.

Does Mach 3 have a usable trial?

 

Thanks Kvom, Mach 3 works a treat, much obliged.
