For historical reasons (competitive upgrade from AutoCAD WAAAAAY back in 
the early days of Windows) I use TurboCAD Pro.  Not perfect but works.  
I upgrade every 1-2 years depending on customer projects.

I then suck the DXF file into Simplify3D and slice it there for the 
delta or the new not-a-Prusa. The two Afinia printers have a proprietary 
slicer so I use that for them (no choice). Occasionally I've had to use 
MeshLab to fix up a model, but that's normally only ones I've gotten 
from someone else.  I did find that Simplify3D will fill in all the 
holes on your model if you tick the wrong combination of options.

If I'm not doing 3D printing I suck the DXF into SheetCAM and use that 
to generate the g-code for one of the CNC cutting machines here (CNC 
mill and CNC router).
