Hello everyone,
I am new to the QCAD software and am hoping to get some MUCH needed information from this site. I have been using Torchmate cad and although it is similar it is still very confusing to me. Where is a good place to get some video training? I do plasma cutting of structural steel parts on an Arclight Dynamics table using a Hypertherm Powermax 85 plasma. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Hello Steelman_55 - welcome to the QCAD forum.
Depending on your level of expertise I would recommend the QCAD book which will introduce you to CAD (Computer-Aided Design) with a ton of information and easy to follow QCAD example lessons.
For a preview please check this link:

FYI: The mentioned QCAD book will cover CAD but not the CAM add-in. However - here is a brief QCAD/CAM tutorial:

There are a lot of QCAD youtube videos out there but I'm not aware of a video training which brings you from chapter to chapter to the finish line.Steelman_55 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2019 2:52 amI am new to the QCAD software and am hoping to get some MUCH needed information from this site.

Sounds like you are also locking into CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing). Is your plan to use the QCAD/CAM edition?Steelman_55 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2019 2:52 amI do plasma cutting of structural steel parts on an Arclight Dynamics table using a Hypertherm Powermax 85 plasma.
