Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Which Software

Wallace,

Bobcad version 20 and I love it for general machining. They've tightened up the program and it's very smooth now and literally bug-free. Although, pushing the 3D envelope it starts to run out of gas a bit. Not experienced enough to know wether its actually the software or the operator. I use it everyday, it's worth every penny of what it can be bought for. Spoke with them a few weeks back and they are coming out with a huge upgrade in Jan. according to them. Different name and many new features. I translated this as a huge sales blitz in early 2006 but, we'll see.

Overall, considering price and functionality I'd give it a strong 4 almost 5.

I have downloaded a few packages, Dolphin Turbocad, Bobcad etc. every
salesman/webside says their's is the best.

The trouble is that, it takes you 3 months before you find the faults
with each package and that is too much time to waste.

I would like to do a survey of what people are using. Should I get
enough replies, I will tabulate the results and post on the Files Page.

Please reply to kiwiavi(at)xtra.co.nz
