Demo Version

Does Mastercam offer a 30 day version of their full featured software, for evaluation? If it was 10 days it would be time enough to decide if it is worth upgrading to different software from what I use now.

If you contact a local dealer you can get the standard demo and you can just about do everything.
You should talk to the dealer about getting a 30 day eval but have them show you a little so you know were you are going.

More important talk pricing and maintenance fees on the software. If in Canada try and buy in the US for a huge savings.

your dealer should be able to give you a demo version that wont produce code or save file ( I think the save file part)
also if I remember right the online demo has it for as long as you need it but its limited in the saving parts and code part.
you can also get them out of the mastercam books

The newer Home Learning Edition (HLE) can now save files, but it wont post. You can do solid modeling and even 5x toolpaths. It's very nice.
