Re: Solid modeling/Cam

Just wanted to know if what I heard was true, Fred. I wasted $500 on
BobCAD, which is a piece of junk in my opinion.

Now...Don't you think from a customer's perspective that if I wanted
CAD/CAM software, and Vector was an option, that a distinction
between BobCad and Vector be made for customers who A) Heard about
the similar lineage of BobCad and Vector and B) Think that BobCad is
a POS.

Get my point?

Thanks for the clarification ~ now you may have a future customer.
