I can't tell you it's legal, i can't recommend you download that torrent, and i can't assure you it's the same link i used and is exactly what i use on my laptop for CAD work.
But i can tell you it is AutoCAD 2008, and like any AutoCAD, if you were to pay for it, you would most definitely pay through the teeth
.Download at your own risk.

Autocad is not a CAM program, it cannot generate a G code for CNC machines. Mastercam can, however its not as easy to use at AutoCad.
Ha ha ha ha, you're funny.
There is no such thing as a good and cheap CAD/CAM program. You either have to shell out the money or pirate it.
Get a decent CAD program and just program manually. I think there are some open source CAM programs out there you can find.
MasterCAM is expensive. It's the only CAM program I have used. I hate it. It's the most user unfriendly program I've ever used. Simple tasks are ridiculous complicated. Or the solution to a simple tasks is buries away in some obscure sub menu. For example, I spent an hour reading the help files once to figure out how to change the color of a line and move it too a different layer.
Seriously, f**k MasterCAM.
The most common CAD programs are Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor and (unfortunately) AutoCAD. There are others (like Catia), but if you learn the aforementioned 3, you can easily get by as a drafter.
AutoCAD is barely better than hand-drafting, TBPH. The only reason anybody still uses it is that everyone KNOWS how to use it and it's cheap as dirt compared to everything else.
On a side-note, does anyone need a drafter in roughly 1 year's time?

Hmm i didnt know that, never had to CNC anything, and have only gone into basic CAD drafting. Did a search, this site seems to have freeware, don't know how well any perform. ht tp://www.freebyte.com/cad/cadcam.htm#cadcamsystems
I do have some minor experience with Solidworks (we use it for our FSAE team), and can recommend the excellent user interface. I learned to do several basic functions in only a day without much prior use with any CAD. I'm no expert at using it, but i know some of the seniors and grad-students think fairly high of it. I don't know if it's still up but soliworks did offer a very long trial for their student edition. Was a couple months i think.
Solidworks is an amazing program that was designed using common sense. There is a reason it's so popular. A retarded monkey with one eye could start modeling parts with minimal help.
There are a few CAM programs that plug right into Solidworks. That's the direction we are looking to go at work. Separate CAD and CAM programs just isn't cutting it anymore.

Reading this thread has caused me to sport wood. I'm so embarrassed...
I'll take two please.

Normal mags are $35 plus tax and shipping, and hold 5 rounds.
Edit,
My bad, you were talking about different magazines
Just started following this, nice work so far GC!
Im left wondering though how you will angle the front of the shells upward so they feed smoothly?
The grizz tends to require a good angle on the shell for it to feed into the cylinder.
