I see Bobcad has V19 for $600. How easy is this to learn? I do mostly 2 1/2 d milling by writing the g code manually. How good are the training cd's for V19. They call them upgrade training cd's, do you have to get the V18 training cd's first. How are their classes? thanks, Terry

Well I can say for that amount to go from hand coding to a cadcam system you can not go wrong.
you probly need to pay more for more training info. But even if you had to pay another 400 for trining that would still be worth the money.

I would contact your Bobcad dealer closest to you.

One of the reasons that we offer so many training products is simply to increase your success rate. Over the years I have received a lot of good feedback on my manuals and CD Video training products. I always try to take those suggestions into consideration when creating a new training product. This is why I get more good feedback than bad. If you are new to CAD-CAM and have our software, you may even consider attending a 3-day training seminar. We have them every week of every year and have been doing them for two years now. Contact us at 877-262-2231 if you want info.

I have the manual that the software comes with and IMO it's pretty good and it has exercise lessons.

At that price you will be the winner.
