The absolute worst way I know of to get change in Gibbs is to ask for it
in a hidden private web forum !
The only thing that really gets Bill Gibbs attention is loss
of sales... this is the reason Gibbs now has Post Haste.
Not having what every other CAD/CAM system had for years
(the ability to edit or create a post) was costing Gibbs
sales. For years I did my level best to apply as much
pressure to Gibbs as possible in this area including working
with others a large companies to deny Gibbs sales until this
issue was addressed. From what has been reported to me it
had an effect and resulted in Post Haste.
I believe if one wants traditional geometry creation tools in
Gibbs, like I have suggested by utilizing the Plug-In
approach, which would raise a pallet of traditional geometry
creation tools, then the best way I know of to accomplish this
goal is to support a credible independent web forum like this one on
www.cnczone.com and keep talking about why better geometry
tools are needed in Gibbs. For years Gibbs and Associates has
made the excuse that were a CAM system. Like the Gibbs policy
of refusing to let a user change / edit / create a post this policy
needs to be changed.
www.cnczone.com serves some very important purposes. Why not
utilize more of what
www.cnczone.com has to offer ?
