For the record, I haven't called MecSoft. When my files stopped saving properly with RhinoCAM I resolved to find myself a new CAM program. Also, since I'm running Windows 7 I didn't think it was worthwhile to call tech support only for them to refer me to their minimum system requirements. I do have a lot of time on my hands, but not THAT much.
As I said in the thread on the MecSoft forum: my problem with RhinoCAM isn't "I can't make it work" my problem is that "it's more difficult than it should be".
You're right
Craig Preston, other users offered "solutions" which I ALREADY FURNISHED AND REJECTED in a post more than a month earlier and asked me to supply answers to questions that were unrelated to the problem. So "
G.M." doesn't know what I'm milling... but he thinks I'm being BOTH too aggressive AND too conservative. Gee
G.M., I'm not sure how YOU attaining that information would magically reduce the number of random DIAGONAL lines in my SQUARE pocket. My Taig cannot hold a 1/2" end mill, and again I fail to see how HIS machining conventions will make RhinoCAM work any differently.
For the record: I've been trying the competition (actually, more expensive programs) and I gotta say I'm losing faith in finding something that's even remotely in my price range that doesn't have problems equal to (or worse) than RhinoCAM. Who knows, maybe I'll end up upgrading to RhinoCAM Pro.
