Greetings,
I have the choice in front of me to either learn Solidworks and it's HSM express/works toolpath module or get a seat of Mastercam which I have long experience with but will still have to import from solidworks thru engineering. Curious to hear what limitations anyone has experienced with HSM works and/or express. Personally I think all CAM systems suck in comparison to clever use of macros. I patiently wait until one of you fellows invents a CAM system that fully exploits macro capability. Call it "Macrocam" and send me a beta seat.
