Aside from constant license issues and not being able to use my CAM product, I am leaving because of what they are doing with the maintenance vs subscription. I paid $10k to HSMWorks for an excellent product for Solidworks. Autodesk bought it and absolutely destroyed my investment. They're going to force people onto subscription by pricing maintenance so high that you have no choice. That should be illegal and I hope like hell they see a class action for doing it.
But that aside, I need to move on and quickly. I am going to demo SolidCAM and probably MasterCAM for Solidworks. I don't care if my CAM is integrated, so what is out there that people are liking these days? Never thought I'd be in this spot, hope I am not again...
Right now I have an Okuma Genos M560V 3-axis VMC, prob adding a 4th soon. Also have a Hwacheon Hi-Eco 21 turning center w/ live tooling... don't use it much but wouldn't mind a CAM with good mill-turn.
Thanks.
