Wow ! Look's like this journey will be fun ! I work for a major medical company, ( Night Shift ), in the southern U.S. We use NX5 here & are being required to learn it to advance our skill's. Only been at it about 6 month's but have been a machinist for close to 30 year's. Have a part time job, in the morning's doing Tool & Die & some Mold work using MastercamX2 for about 2 years. Will have a lot of question's to come , so please stand by.. Harold C
