Can you explain what you mean by CAD feature? CNC12 does not do CAD. It does have Intercon which is a conversational programming feature snd there are a couple of example parts in the manual.

You can download the CNC12 servo version from the website snd install that in "demo" mode on your desktop computer to experiment with. You'll be limited to 12? Lines of intercon code in demo mode, and you can purchase a license for offline Intercon that removes this limitation.
