Turbocad/cam

Anybody using this yet?? Comments?

I've used TurboCAD/CAM. I don't actually use the CAD, I prefer AutoCAD because I'm used to it. I find the CAM is pretty good, and can be learned in a few days. I've seen some problems with unequal radii, but this may or may not affect your machine. All in all, it's a pretty good bang for the buck, especially if you don't have a CAD program.

Thanks for the reply NeoMoses,
I'm using TurboCad 8.2 (Not the Pro verstion) but need to get deeper into the CAM part of things. Is the CAD part of it like TurboCAD 8.2 or the later 9.1? For someone familiar with TurboCAC do you think they would have much trouble getting up to speed with it?

Hi All,

Got this in the e-mail: http://www.imsisoft.com/prodinfo.asp...=152&cid=88658 It appears that there is a sale going on for TurboCAD/CAM. It's only $399 USD. I haven't seen anything as good as TurboCAD/CAM that is as close to this price. I think I might be buying myself an early Christmas present.

P.S. And no, I don't work for them, I'm just a TurboCAD user.

bb99,
Is this a new offer? Last I looked it was $995.00 or something close. Do you use it? I am thinking about buying it since I have been working with TurboCad a while (not a long while).

It’s a limited time offer (12/15). Here is the paragraph from the e-mail I got (I’m a registered TurboCAD user, so that’s why I think they sent it to me). Oh, and no, I haven’t used TurboCAD/CAM before, but for the price, how can I refuse?

Cool! I wonder why they didn't send me one, I'm also a registered user of TurboCad.

Thanks,

Hi bb99,

I sent a PM to you, just thought others might want this as well. I contacted turbocad and they said they need the promotional code from the email they sent you. Without that code, we are all (apparently) s.o.l.

Any help would be great...I plan on snagging this asap.

camfambmw5,
I don't know what code they would be talking about because I bought my TurboCad V8 here local but I'll search my e-mail. I ordered the TurboCadCam V2 yesterday anyway but there was no mention of any promotion code.

Thanks,
Marv

camfambmw5,
Just checked, I do have an e-mail that says it is proof of purchase. Went to the link to check shipping status, says it is backordered.

HI,
Did you get it for $39?/ If so, what did you have to show/tell/?? them to get it?

Thanks for the help here...I just don't have a G to throw into software.

camfambmw5,
No, didn't give them anything, just ordered it. Was $414.90 with shipping. There isn't a download link on there so it will ship on CD. Got another e-mail from them this afternoon at 5:18 pm EST with a tracking number saying it was shipped. I think the code may be for e-mail notification of updates or something, dunno.
