So all this neat stuff now.
How much does one need or use?
Cad side I went to something called Cadkey a bit back as Autocad could not do 3-D at that time.
Bought the first versions of Teksoft and Mastercam.
I go to Cadkey in a virtual machine. I have Mcam 8 and quit any buying more later as it does all I need.
I do not make body dies or do surfacing. Just make those holders and milling cutters that you all use.
This is so ancient but we can make it sing and dance on on new computers and is lighting fast.
Friends buy newer stuff but I do not see a speed or performance gain.
What am I missing? Spent some time in Solidworks but did not like it so much.
How much gain have we made?.
