Hence my reasoning for wanting to get rid of my copy of BobCad. I
found the program clunky at best, though if you carefully follow a
set of rules you can generate G-code which will do the job.

I also can't get over the fact how they are so sales-driven. They
spend more time calling, e-mailing and making "month end deals" that
I'm now convinced they're nothing more than a sales organization.

///Exactly, if they spent as much time repairing bugs and creating updates for their software they wouldn't need to call anyone. All that said, I still use it practically every day. And for what I do its fine. it just irritatates me when I save a file as a DXF in Bobcad then try to re-open it with Bobcad and I get an error message saying its corrupted. Thats just inexcusable. ///Ron

So, the point is that the software is worthless after you buy a copy.

But I've still got a copy I'm ready to sell (or even give) to
somebody at this point!
