brtlatjgt,
From what I have been abble to find out both BodCAD and OneCNC shared the same source code once upon a time. From that point they went different directions. I think when OneCNC first started selling in the US they used the same mailing address as BobCAD. I responded to your thread about which CAD / CAM before. I will say I have never evaluated a lower / mid-range CAD / CAM system where someone was not putting down the competion (EXCEPT for BobCAD), or claiming to be better than the higher end SurfCam's and MasterCam's of the world.
The two systems you are looking at are VERY different. VM4 does not have the CAD abilities that OneCNC does. VM5 is supposed to incorporate a liitle more CAD ability. OneCNC does not have some of the feature VM has, such as working directly with files from SW or SE. There is also a petty good price difference between VM and OneCNC XP.
Please, do yourself a large favor and follow the advice I gave you in your last post about which CAD / CAM. It is the ONLY way you can be sure you are going to get something you will be happy with. Do not let salesman sway you one way or the other. Their job is to sell. It is support that has to face the customers.  |
