I had BobCad and it truly sucks. It was a complete waste of money for us. They sold it to us "twice" promising that it would just take a few small edits to the G-code translator to get it to work with Isel machines. After 4 months they still could not translate to Isel and Bobcad was worthless after lots of money and time wasted.
If I hear BobCad, I run and hide. Since most of our work is 2-dim and simple, the fastest way is just to write straight g-code which became a pleasure to work with compared to the enormous bogus claims made by bobcad to get it working with their software. I will not deal with them ever again. In the end simple won for me. I know 3-d would be a mess with G-code, working out all the toolpath constraints, but so far I did not need it, cross-fingers. Hope to find a good 3-d Cam for Linux though. Paul Keeton wrote: > The company I work for uses both. Our preferred package is Synergy. We use > it on our big production machine programs.
