Hi,
I also purchased BobCAD (V22) a couple of weeks ago, and it's pretty dissapointing - too be polite: it's trash. V22 has dozens of obvious bugs, including crashing under a number of reproducable conditions -it seems as though BobCAD did not even trial test this program before releasing it.
The CAM portion is somewhat usable, but the CAD portion is a million miles behind even some freeware CAD programs. This leads to the suggestion that BobCAD should bascially ditch the CAD part of the program and instead integrate a third party CAD program (as they did with Preditor for simulation). This would allow them to concentrate on the CAM portion of the software, fixing, testing and growing those functions - that iis BobCAD's strength (if any).
I purchased BobCAD over another similarly priced foreign package to support the North American economy, but I really regret it. In fact, when I look closely at this program I think I recognize the style of off-shore contract programmers - and even if not, this program is way to quirky by our standards and practices.
The support is great as everyone else has pointed out. But I wonder whether the support would need to be so good if the program and its documentation was not so poorly written and sparse.
I would not recommend BobCAD to anyone - but I'm stuck with it for the time being.
My hope is that there is some benefit to the "scripting" that is mentioned in the sales literature. Unfortunately, I can't find any details about it in either the help system or the manual
.
Can anyone point me to information regarding the scripting function?
Cheers,
Frank
