Resellers, and hard copies

[Roger]

Are your Mastercam resellers sending you hard copies of the latest versions?  I just downloaded 2017, and update 1 on my home computer, still having problems at work with firewall issues, and the linking.

 

So I was just wondering why I've not received a hard copy yet.....or do they still do this.  And yes maintenance is paid up.

Think it is really going to come down to the reseller.

I received a hard copy when I renewed maintenance.

I don't know your dealer's policy, but I'm sure they would send you one if you asked

[Roger]

I will ask them on Friday, they will be coming to my work place to demo Mastercam productivity + for use with our new Haas mill with probing.  Thanks for your replies.

I need another mouse pad.

[Fred @ Slate Industries]

Mine came on a USB , but were almost already on update 2

You will still need to get past a firewall for those.

 

You need update one minimum for the  "All curves / create curves come out as splines " that need to be simplified saga.

That's what I'm saying...I've been collecting over the years!  Starting with V6.

I'm still waiting on that "free swag" they said we would get 

[Thad]

We always get a disc in the mail, but it seems like months after I've already installed the web download.

Yes....

 

Once the decision is made to release, it becomes available via download.....it is then sent off to be printed,,,,,

 

So multiples have to be printed, along with docs and boxes....then they all get sent out to resellers who have to assemble all of the boxes and materials   and then, it finally gets shipped to end users

[Thad]

I's throw it all in the garbage if that came in the mail.

WOW! That is salty! I think Inventor Pro with the full HSM package (lathe and full 5 axis) is only like $400/month. Ya, that is $k a year more or less, but still. Besides, full blown MCX now (lathe, 5 axis) is probably$$-$$k + $k year for maint..?

I guess our $$k+ isn't worth a hat and a couple of pens.

Yeah, that happens and they'll loose a lot of customers.

[jlw™]

They do that and I'll talk the guy I work for into BobCAD or anything that still works that way.

[Fred @ Slate Industries]

Watcher , I asked...2 seats w/ Powershape.  My bad.

[Mick]

I heard a rumour the lease Option was coming.

 

In regards to hard copies, we got one, for our two seats, months after the release. One mouse pad though. And no other swag.

 

Our dealer squeaks when he walks....

I think we had to request a hard copy? the net usually worked fine for us.

turned down a major verification software company because they wanted to lease to us (yearly fee or license would not be renewed). if i buy something i want that version bought to work until i have no need for it.

oh well progress i guess.

Yeah? I'm guessing it isn't the V application. I don't recall them offering a lease option. Like you, I prefer a bought and that's it... (a'la perpetual).

 

I don't see it as progress. Maybe an option...
