Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: BobCAD V23

You might not find much on BobCad here because a lot of us don't think it
is worth much. I have several of my customers that used it but found it to
be far too cumbersome. It didn't have a true post processor module and it
was almost as easy to write the machine code by hand. If they haven't
improved on it much in the past 4 or 5 years I would recommend Dolphin CAD/CAM
instead. It does have a true post processor module which can be custom
configured by the purchaser for any control. Just my two cents worth.

There are some lower cost alternatives you might want to play with before
dropping a lot of coin into one.

On the flip side, when you get software that offer more than you need, it
is a pleasure to use.
