BobCAD?

[BPT]

Curious why BobCAD get upset about constructive criticism?

It is not a case of rubbishing BobCAD software, more to the point of finding out information regarding all the wiz bang things you say your doing.

The moment you start asking 'too many questions' you boys come back to the same old, "how great you all are!"

I am more interested in finding out when and in what decade BobCAD will be on par/ if not better than the likes of OneCNC?

This i would like to see!

BPT,

The thread was removed because of the poor judgement you used when posting replies.

The offensive posts have been edited/removed and the thread restored and re-opened.

Please refrain from making personal attacks. If you have a valid gripe about software, that's fine; speak your mind but keep it respectful to all parties involved.

We will not tolerate abuse in any form.

Thanks for understanding.

Rekd,

Nothing poor about it...

NEXT!!!

I use BobCad Ver. 17 and couldn't be happier with it. It's made me money and didn't cost a lot. My point being: If you like something else then buy it, if you have then why berate BobCad?[

[BPT]

It's not about berating. The software hasn't changed in 12 years. I am wondering if it will take another 12 years before any great changes, kind of like where exactly are they are pouring all there huge amounts of money!

Just 'Ban' me!!! You seem to do this kind of thing on a regular basis!!!

Play nice now, BPT

There's room for all kinds in all fields. If I understand the rumours correctly, version 19 is going to be new in the sense that they have taken control of the development, instead of just translating another program into English, so we'll just have to wait and see what they come out with.

HU,

You legend you... Grow!

BPT, I am wondering if you really are not happy with what you have been using for so many years and keep buying the updates, why don't you buy a diffrent software.

I look at this way as much anger and time you have put here on the board could be spent doing allot more thinks.

I know allot of people that use bobcad with good results and don't expect it to be just like UG in power.

But for what they do it works great and as stated by other folks they are making money and a living..

I say for me if any software was such a pain and it was causing so much anger I would see if I could find some thing that change my thought.

Part of my problem right here is I don't need to come here and try and get you to change software.
But if it does not work For YOU then once in while we have to some thing about it.

Good luck I hope some were down the road you find what makes you happier...

To BPT, Rekd, CADCAM and any other doubters.

First of all we all know that you can help a million people and never make the newspaper. But, a few people disagree with you and you are on the frontpage. If the THOUSANDS of people took time out of there day to get on this forum and thank Bobcad for giving them an affordable Cad-Cam software that actually does about 90% of what most other systems do for 90% LESS, well then this thread would be a mile long. Many Bobcad customers have other systems and still use bobcad as well, and I am sure many of you critical guys out there are even CLOSET Bobcad users. I am sure you can see that there is plenty of room for Bobcad. I am also sure over time you will see Bobcad rise up and level the playing field so everyone can have the kind of functionality that cost $5,000 to $15,000 today. Not everyone can afford to buy Mastercam. So be careful where you walk in your glass house you might cut your foot. If it did not work for you well then we are sorry, now move on Quietly.

Your Friends at Bobcad.

I haven't used Bobcad in years. When I did use it, it was there with another little peice of software called Cimitron. The only reason I used Bobcad was to try it out. It worked, even then. I thought at first that it was seriously lacking in many departments, but when I found out the price, I was convinced it would succeed, which it seems it has.

Why you labeled me as a 'doubter' I'm not quite sure yet, I'll have to go back thru my posts and see if I can find it. I use Mastercam, and do not expect Bobcad to compete. It's 2 different worlds, apples to oranges etc.

I think my biggest 'doubt' as far as Bobcad goes, is the seemingly lack of support users get until, like you said, it's brought to the 'front page' and gets your attention. Then it is taken care of quickly and everyone's happy.

I still think Bobcad has it's place in the market, and always will provided they keep updating and keep their users in the big picture, (support, etc). I do not think, however, that you will ever be able to provide what the big guns provide without a substantial increase in staff, support and cost for the software. Being a computer programmer, I know what it takes to make good software, and CAM software is not an easy task.

Again, I respect Bobcad and hope that this forum can provide both the users and the creators of Bobcad a medium with which to communicate and openly discuss issues, likes, dislikes, suggestions or what have you.

Bottom line; You can't expect to sell this type of software and expect everyone to be happy if they can't get support for it.
