    Delcam is expensive but I can not imagine working without it. It does
    have a learning curve no doubt about it. If you aren't comfortable
    with computers, I suggest that you become so before you consider
    buying any software for cad. I had never used a computer before
    buying it and it was a double curve to follow. I really really like
    ArtCam Pro. I have isuues with Artcam jewelsmith. If you don't make
    rings don't bother trying to learn Jewelsmith, at least from my
    perspective. Probably now when you get training they train you in
    Jewlesmith. I don't know. Artcam pro will do just about everything
    that you can imagine. I use it everyday and really love it.
    Jewelsmith I am sure is a good product, but I don't like how they
    set it up, it is totally different in its structure. I haven't had
    time totry and learn it, so I know that my criticism is harsh. BUT
    Artcam pro is defiinately worth the money. I bought Artcam about 6 or
    8 months before they released Jewlsmith 7. [when they changed
    everything about how it works]. I feel that they should have given
    everyone free training in how to learn the new setup. I hope that
    this doesn't discourage you too much. Like I said Delcam has made a
    great product. But they need to readdress the issue of what they did
    when they created Jewelsmith and how it affected all of the earlier
    users of their product. 

Good luck Dennis
