We just got a not that MasterCAM for Solidworks is being discontinued. I was curious if anyone knows anything more about the product strategy, if there is anyway. Is this because SW now has its own in-house CAM? I have to say, outside of pricing considerations, while MC4SW is a cool idea in principle, I didn't in my limited usage of it find that it made life much easier vs using standalone MasterCAM after doing CAD in Solidworks. Once you've figured out how to manipulate models and create a bit of geometry in MCAM, the challenges are all around optimizing the tool paths and such. I'd be curious if others have thoughts.
