My software company is about to release a new version of their software and I am considering upgrading to their pro version. Before I do I want to be sure I'm getting the most bang for my buck. What are some of the pros and cons of the CAM software you are using?

Thanks,
Don

Don your question is so wide open. We don't know what your using. So it could be like compairing Bobcad V2007 at 1K to Mastercam X2 at 16K. You just can't do that. apples and oranges

We really need to know what you are using, what it does that you like an dwhat it does that you don't like. What are you thinking about getting and why? What kind of parts? Yada Yada...

No, it's not Jon. I know Don (at least virtually) and I don't think the question is in relation to TurboCAD either. But I'll let Don give you more info himself... --ch

Gibbs does the lathe great. The hard stuff on the mill is does ok at. But the easy stuff on a mill it sucks.

He's still here posting, just as a different name. So far, he's managed to keep his Jihad in his pants.

Don't worry though, it won't be long before he melts down and makes a complete ass of himself again.
