I've made a LOT of dimensional parts there. If you have a basic grasp on geometry it's very easy to make dimensional parts in CorelDraw.
Some folks scoff at using a "drawing" program instead of a full CAD program, but it's never bothered me. I use CorelDraw, but Inkscape seems to be the main free "go to" solution. The "broad answer" is that you need vector files for CNC work, and your program of choice may be able to convert between them (DXF, DWG, SVG, AI, imbedded PDF, EPS, etc). DXF seems to have more "variation" in the standard, or at least it did back in the day. It's probably not a big deal now, but 10 years ago when I started I had fewer issues importing SVG files. DXF is the most common format but I've always been partial to SVG. There are a few units running their own systems but most run either CommandCNC (from ) or controls. One thing it does is offer better support for high DPI monitors, so that might interest a Mac user.View QuoteAlmost all plasma tables use DXF or SVG. 92.3 I think was the last versions able to run on WinXP. Though there is a 32 bit windows version. But no current version, (no body has stepped up and done the compiles.) It may be also be 32 bit, I can't test. You can build one with either a straight X11 build or Xquartz.
Maybe asking a few times in the chat channel might get you a link, (if you trust such links.) I know there are floating out there, outside the reach of the official Inkscape page, those who have compiled and have dmg packages, but don't have a link to point to.
If you use macports and compile yourself you can get 64bit. The old version you have was probably due to someone without a Mac trying to keep it simple and compiling as 32 bit. I don't think any of the Devs have a Mac. The ongoing problem with Mac Os's is there aren't people in the volunteer stream that are doing compiles. Inkscape currently still comes in 32 and 64 bit.
