development any longer. Most have very tired, outdated, wireframe CAD
with some crappy solid modeling tossed on top.... SmartCAM, Mastercam,
etc.
We'll see about that. Pro/E - Pro/Man? How many "little

Windows has to offer with more modern marketing with what probably is
the worlds best VAR network.

Wrong. Its now working very well and that's why so many CAM companies> independant CAD/CAM programs & try to combine them, IT DON'T WORK, for > very long.
are moving to offer CAM inside of SolidWorks. While I don't like
SolidWorks using a program like Solid Edge with ST when you have to
seriously modify your customers model now makes the situation
tolerable. Even better, is the FACT that SolidCAM doesn't just run
inside of SolidWorks. If Autodesk ever gets their shit together with
Inventor-Fusion it might become a very attractive option and would not
require the use of Solid Edge with ST. That's a big if because
Autodesk is an asshole company.
SolidWorks gives CAM developers some great tools to work with. Imagine
being able to have high quality chaining you can actually see rather
than what Mastercam has now... chains with thin wireframe arrows that
often disappear and are often very hard to see.
It seems that trying to limp along & keep kicking a sleeping dog

Nope. CNC Software has no choice now other than to try and make> (MCx'ers)- turning existing cam software in to un-usable buggy

Mastercam CAD much, much better. Most other companies have thrown in
the towel and will ride the integrated into SolidWorks approach like
many other CAM vendors are doing. CAM is now going to get much better
at a much faster pace than in the recent past.
Speaking of the past... for the wrong answers from someone who lives
in the very distant past and talks out his ass about machining and
most CADCAM subjects be sure to read your pal Cliffy Huprich's
response. As usual it will be wrong, filled with lies and so
uninformed that it will be laughable.
