new owner

[krymis]

i am a proud new owner of bobcad/cam v21. Any thing I should do prior to install or right after install to get the program to run best it can? I am using this in conjunction with my new mach 3 and the mach blue screen. Once again chad (cclark) is a great asset to the bobcad guys and remember when your in the area you got a shop and a cot. I am goign to be reviewing the bobwire this week and may purchase that and bobart. Do you think either one of these programs are worth it? I am just learnig how to use my edm and I want to be able to do artsy picts for the girl so whats your thoughts. Try to be unbiased please.

That impossible with Bobcad to be unbiases. Either people love it or hate it.
I have Bobcad 21 and Bobart.
Graphic cards and driver are the biggest issue for new installation. You may what to buy the training CD set. It worth the cost just in the time it takes to learn. If you want PM me with your e-mail address and I can send some Bobcad/Bobart file to you to play around with. You will find a lot of user that will take the time to help you. Also BBC has there own support forum site here a link http://216.117.147.20/bobcadsupport/forums/index.php

I forget the time differences sometimes, but you can handle it. You will need to email support@bobcad.com. Give them a time and date that you will be available, give them a day or so to make the arrangements for someone to be at the office to register your system. Support closes at 6PM EST and being in Australia you may not get in until they leave and are still sleeping when they arrive at 8AM...remember support@bobcad.com just give them a time frame and they will work it out.

What time do you get in to the computer in the morning? Also, when do you normally leave?
Like I said, I am real bad about time zones so if you could give it to me in 'yank time' that would be great.
