I see Gibbs in their latest newsletter has stated that version 8 will *finally* have a new way to manage / edit Ops. It's a spreadsheet. It will be interesting to see how well a spreadsheet works for doing this compared to the tabbed explorer that docks and that almost every other CADCAM program now uses. The only program that I have ever seen use a spreadsheet to do this was EZCAM. It worked OK. I'll try and keep an open mind and see what Gibbs comes up with.
I also see that with Gibbs 2005 that all the Gibbs documentation went to .pdf format. I wonder it one purchased all the Gibbs books if they can get the new documentation for free or for an upgrade price ? I don't own Gibbs. I do own the Gibbs books and purchased them with my hard earned cash. I wonder how the local Community College, that use to sell the Gibbs books at a discount, will deal with the new .pdf format ? Will students get the .pdf Gibbs documentation on disk ? Anyone know how this will work ?
