    LOL true and if you followed it since it has been released you would already know this however it does not support multiaxis milling and some other types of toolpaths
    We have had good luck with our Fadals milling mostly soft steel and aluminum up to 5 axis. We are always looking for spare parts :) If you have a broken down Fadal give a shout.

    Mastercam for solidworks only available in 32bit? We run l3 Maxis mastercam on 64 windows 7 but we only import solids from solidworks. Like I previously mentioned I dont think their is one single mfg that makes multiaxis machining plugin for Solidworks...maybe 4th axis positioning but not 5 axis + simul.

    It will run on a 64 machine but it is not a 64 bit program.

    I am running the 64 bit version of MC for Solidworks it only runs in the 64 bit version of SW.
    There is a 32 bit version to.

    This is new for X5 of MC 4 SW.
    Prior to this you could not run MC 4 SW in the SW 64 bit version.
    MC first move toward 64 bit..

    Do you think CNC Software is correct that programming Solidworks parts with Mastercam for Solidworks is "mind blowing" faster than regular Mastercam? Which do you prefer part programming with?

    MC will run in a 64 bit system but it is still only a 32 bit software. even X5 is a 32 bit version.
    If you can ENVISION it I can make it

    but the MC for SW is a 64bit not a 32bit they offer a 32bit version to.
    regular MC does not have this option at this time.
