My best advise to you is to stick with Fusion 360 for now. It is free, easy to learn and use, and for your immediate purposes is I believe the quickest and easiest path to achieve your end goal of producing your shark teeth.

After much consideration and research, I have decided to follow your advice and use F360. The others on the internet left me sitting on the fence, but you have pushed me over and helped me decide. Thank you for all the reasoning you took the time to explain to me, what reasons supported your recommendation.
As you know, I'm buying the Crossfire with extended bed, 25"x33", just for the purpose of cutting out experimental sharks teeth, to test the market and discern how many potential buyers there may be.
Since I have your drawings of them in a circle in dfx, it should be easy to adjust their size if/when needed.
Thanks to your drawing help, I fully believe I have my bevel dilemma solved in a fast and inexpensive way.
After I get started with cnc plasma, there is no telling where I will go from there. So it's too early to develop expansion plans and learn 6 different versions of software. I didn't know your drawings were in dxf, or VinylMaster could open dxf. I did know VinylMaster could trace a jpg and give me a vector drawing. So I thought at a minimum I could trace your drawing and be able to use it from there. I was delighted you sent it to me in a dxf, and Vinylmaster could just plain import it and use it with nodes.
So those portions of my business plan are solved thanks to you. Then next area I am highly currious about is, using the table to label parts with. I have no idea of what type of scribe is available, or how to mount magic markers.
I did find this company and I love that ability, but they don't advertise a size for my PrimeWeld 60.
https://www.theeasyscriber.com/products.html I haven't had time to delve in deep yet on researching those marking abilities for my plasma machine.
Do you have any thoughts on my Primeweld or the Crossfire table being able to help label parts, so I can cut larger nested groups for storing in reserve, and yet being able to discern the different sizes or radii's later when looking at them? I expect the differences in size to be so small I probably can't identify them by eye.
I have quickly learned from you, to never underestimate your opinions. It is just founded on too, tooooooo much experience.
You would be pleased if you knew how much of what you shared with me, has been recorded into my notes. I can promise you, you have not wasted your time with me. It did not go in one ear and out the other.
Now I am studying

I remember my 5th grade teacher. He altered my life's direction in teaching me chess and electricity. I grew up loving both.
Now in 5 years from now when my business is worth millions and I have 50 employees, you will always be remembered.
A week ago, getting into cnc plasma was looking pretty daunting to me. Now, today, it looks like a fun, exciting adventure. You touch people's lives, you sometimes make a huge difference in the outcomes that will later turn out to be their new future.
A 1 degree change in direction today, can make an enormous difference in the outcomes in 10 years later. Our world is a better place because of people like you.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Most genuinely sincere, Chris

that once began with speculating. Sometimes it was nothing but trouble.
