problem and shows how other software does what Mastercam X3 still
can't do! Follow the link below to the main Jon Banquer blog.

You seem to be a big fan of toolpath editing.
I used to really like it. On Smartcam you could zoom up and literally
delete a gouged pass.
Problem is, software doesn't gouge anymore.
I still see no reason whatsoever to edit toolpath beyond anything mastercam
9.1 can do.
Maybe your using solids?
CAM software will never anticipate all the cutting conditions one
might encounter and automatically give you optimized toolpath. Only
idiots like Joe788 think this is possible.
That's just one reason to edit a toolpath.
Some people are happy to give up control and let the CAM system make
all the decisions for them. Others prefer to create optimized toolpath
that doesn't waste time and will cut the part exactly like they want
to cut the part.

I've never said such a thing.
I said wasting hours of time graphically editing toolpaths and
breaking their associativity, is a complete and utter waste of time.
Then again, if you're just a lowly employee with no accountability for
profit, who's likely to be fired soon anyways, why not waste hours
exercising "full graphical control over the seamless hybrid modeling
kernel for multi part production programming in a small production job
shop environment using the budget horizontal machining center with
pallet pool while modifying customer design intent with synchronous
technology....."
Jon ,you are my hero !
You are so great ,man ,you are the sheer genious !
You are absolutly right !!
X3 lacks so much .
I only can not understand ,how I am never in need of all this
neccesary
things you describe .
I feel very happy with X3 .
Even with ver7 I was very happy .
May be because instead of fighting the Holy War against everything
and everyone
I was making parts earning money .
I feel so miserable without WorkNC ,FeatureCaM ,NX and etc .
Jon ,I want to be like you ,you are my hero .
Shame ,I will never be .

Here you again making these blanket type comments about people on the
forum. You have no clue what they think or want out of Mastercam. You
again abuse your 1st amendment right to free speech. With that right
comes responsibility.
Have you even used the highspeed toolpaths yet in X2 much less X3?
Have you seen the time reductions and added features to theses
toolpaths and harnessed their abilities to really see where you think
you need this capability so badly? Have you sent screen shots and
program files to the people at CNC software showing your claims of
this much needed requirement? You keep putting words in people's
mouths and keep lumping people into groups you know nothing about.
This is very irresponsible, unprofessional, and yet you want people to
treat you with respect yet you do not know or even understand the
concept. I feel life has a way of catching up to people and I sure
hope it does not catch up to you.
Remember everyone is help accountable for their actions in one way or
any other and the net is not the free for all some people think it is
and you keep calling these people out personally and slandering their
name like you keep doing I feel there will be consequences to those
actions. Might keep that in the back of your mind since some of those
people you keep calling out live very close to you an can contact the
State Attorney. I think stalking laws and other things could be
enforced hear. Just some food for thought, but think you are above all
of that and will never happen to you well keep that arrogant pride a
going.

Jon,
I will only say that closed forums are not very constructive. My view
is that an open forum sparks criticism from your competition which you
can build upon to create a better product. If you have a creative
development team for technology, you shouldn=92t be afraid of the
competition but welcome it and challenge it. When you=92re in the number
one slot, everyone beats on you which is fine but it should be done in
a responsible and respectable way - so I would encourage a moderator
that is not so fast on the delete key. I would agree that it should be
a corporate forum.

This is code words for Jon Banquer being banned from those sites for
clueless ramblings and flame wars. Jon complains because moderated
groups ban him then he complains about un-moderated groups because he
can't be in control.
Does Jon practice what he preaches, HELL NO! Jon has moderated sites,
his blog's. Lots of censorship and VERY few comments posted because he
only posts comments from people who agree with him. That comes out to
three or four comments TOTAL on his sites, hard to tell though some or
all of those may be forged (he did it before and got caught).
Just try to get Jon to answer an easy on topic question in his own
words to support one of his positions and see what happens.

Well lets see what Jon thinks about unmoderated formats:
"I figured for once I'd give these posters a taste or their own
medicine which seemed to anger the host of the Blog who had elected to
go with an unmoderated format." - Jon Banquer - July 18, 2007-
Truth be told (not by banquer) all Novedge interviews go with an
unmoderated format, you knew it. It's just that you're the first
interviewee to violate your agreement with the author.
[
UPDATE -- July 8, 2007 -- I had to close this blog post to further
comments and to remove the personal attacks between Jon and some other
newsgroups readers. Before the interview, I made an agreement with Jon
about the style of the interview and the way to handle it. Jon didn't
respect our agreement, posting comments under fake names. Jon's
authentic and fake comments are all posted from the same IP address,
72.199.251.224. I can now see that my trust in Jon was misplaced.
]
Jon, if CNCZone and PM are so "hopeless", why do you keep going back
to them under fake names to ask your beginner questions? Those
"hopeless" members at CNCZone put quite a bit of effort into helping
your pathetic attempts at Mastercam usage.
Whoever is at the helm on CNCZone has become pretty adept at locating
and deleting Jonnie Bonkers.
It's kinda funny, CNCZone has an odd feature that lets you see who the
last people were to look at your profile. Sure enough, the last 4
people to look at my profile were Jon Banquer's aliases!

By editing my comments, I feels as though I've compromised my
integrity in some way which is why I sent Webby my resigation as
Moderator for the Mastercam Forum. I'll still moderate O/T but I feel
it's my duty to give you folks on the forum an honest opinion and if I
can't do that... well, what good am I then?
So Thermwod, if you don't like the FACT that the column on your 5-Axis
machines are so weak that you NEED a 1" Travel indicator to measure
the deflection, then MAKE A BETTER PRODUCT!!!!!..."
The TRUTH as to why I am not a Moderator in the Mastercam Forum on
eMastercam...
Jon, YOU ARE A LIAR!!!!! Here it is for all to see.
Empty threat.
Someone voicing an opinion is protected. It is not enough to prove
someone lied, you have to prove it harmed you and was intentional. So
what it comes down to is you have the burden of proof that is was a
lie, rational people of average intelligence could be/were fooled into
believing it and resulted in causing you harm.
In Jon's case you are screwed:
Jon is giving his opinion.
No rational person of average intelligence would take anything Jon
says seriously.
You have to prove it harmed you physically, mentally or monetarily.
If you are deemed to be a public figure (moderating a board could be
interpreted as such) the bar and burden of proof on you is raised even
higher to near impossible level of proof.
It will cost you a shit load of money to hire a lawyer, take Jon to
court and in the unlikely event you were ever awarded monetary damages
you will never collect since Jon has no assets.
