whats the big deal?

[riverrat]

I finally had the chance to play with the bobart and bobcad mill v21.
whats the big todoo about bobcad being so sucky?
I think, as a mastercam user, that people need to LEARN the software
before they bash the crap out of it.
It's very easy to learn and use, I can see how some users would see
it as difficult, being that you have to KNOW G-CODE, damn the luck.
mastercam is powerful software but jeeeeeeez, for 1200$ we bought
three seats of bobcad, that wouldn't buy a screen saver from the "master".
What would that cost from the master??????? 50,000, if your lucky.

disclaimer:


I am in no way affiliated with Bobcadcam or it's affiliats, nor am I a paid employee of Bobcadcam. tobyaxis can verify since he is a paid sponsor for bobcadcam.

BIG OL LOL!!!!!!

I think that answers most of the question!

I Wish!!!!!! It is fun to play with BCC but being a user for 5 years has paid off at work. I like to watch guys that know it all fight with their software just to get it to do simple things LOL. Not to mention that when I tell them that BCC is Licensed and didn't cost a new born plus a new car they choke.

LOL, Fun Fun Fun unless they take my BCC away

Well I guess that will change as soon as 2007 gets rolling. The posts will eventually get to the point of no editing like my last run was. (not a single line edit or insert or any other alteration)

BTW: I ran a full 3D solid.

But reguardless of the fact I know G-code , I did have my V21 setup so that all the user had to know was what to click and the correct code was already output for him. Even on V21 the program can be made to be user friendly. Just took a little knowhow to get there and Bobcad tech is good at that.

did that with one of our seats of bobwire, wrote a start up macro, and an
end macro. now it's SUPER easy still have a few things to change but not
much. heck the boss can use it LOL!
BTW bobart pro is coooool, not sure what we will do with it,but cool
none the less.

Cool, never thought of making a Brand. Actually the original picture is below. Opened it in BobArtProX Vectorized it then reconstructed the geometry. It was FUN!!!!!

I have been using Bobcad 17 for years for my sign buis. and it works great.
My cousin has bob 19 and 21. He knows this software inside and out. Owns a machine shop. The software is very very powerfull if you know how to use it.
It takes a little time to learn but the learning curve is a lot less time than other softwares i have investagated. O ya thats right. the price is incredable for how powerfull this software is. I don't work for bobcad in any way.
