AMEN to that. We were contacted by them and showed some small interest
but
told them up front that we were NOT planning to purchase anything until
we
had checked out the different packages thoroughly. We received no less
than 4
calls a day, at least 2 E-mails per day and they even dropped the price
from
nearly $4,000.00 to $1100.00 on the new 21. Now I HAVE used BobCad in
the
past and they were telling me how much they had improved it, that it is
now a
true post processing system, there were very few changes from the older
versions I have used. You still have to do a lot of editing of the NC
file as
there is no way to customize what they call a post processor. It just
seems to
be fancy macro, just like they have always had. The package is certainly
NOT
worth even the $1100.00 they ask us to pay. I am still convinced that
Dolphin CAD/CAM is a MUCH better value and is easier to use overall.
