Re: Dolphin Partmaster

Yeah I must say that I have been very happy so far. They don't have the variety of products that Bobcad has to offer, but what I do use is very nice. Rodney from the U.S office has been a wonderful help for me as well. I'm not sure the UK guys would do much if any business in the US market if not for him. From my understanding, Dolphin has been around for a while, but I have never heard of them till recently.
