I am familiar with and use sketchup all the time in my business but to the best of my knowledge you can't transfer anything from it to a cnc machine so what I was wondering is would a product like TurboCad http://www.cadandgraphics.com/tcpro16.html work in this respect ? Most Auto Cad software is pricey but the Turbo Cad can be had for a few hundred dollars ,albeit an older version but who cares.Does anyone know if it will work ?This would be a great way to render the Onex for paint schemes also.

TurboCAD will probably work, I have not played with it yet.
For 2D drawing, LiteCAD is a reasonable free CAD software package:

Not as good as AutoCAD though.
There is a lot of software out there to automatically program CNC machines from CAD drawings, again very expensive software though.
