VERSION X

[slyym]

The company I'm at now just recently bought a seat of mcam and the guy who came and installed it gave me a little sneak peak of version x and I was very dissapointed.They are totally changing the format of it, there making it look like auto cad, I think what he said was they were trying to make it more windows based.Were no longer gonna have the toolbar on top or the menu on the left, and I was really gettin used to it.But I guess its all good, people really dont like to change but its usaully for the good and most of the time it works better too. But I was actually hoping that all the other software companies would change over to the mcam format.

As a beta tester, I can assure you that a) it WILL take getting used to and it WILL be better/faster/stronger than any previous versions. Personally, I love learning new things. I also love seeing software progress, which CNC Software is doing in leaps and bounds.

[Salahuddin]

I think it will be more closer to solidworks,

anyway, at any format it will be, we will need some time to get used of it.

[Rekd™]

The functionality is more like solidworks than autocad.

I know bata testers can not say much, but does it seem user friendly? Im in the process of learning Pro-e. I dont think my brain can learn a new softwareat this time

only thing I'm hopin for is that you can still hit the letter for the menu item you want. I kind of trained myself to do that and got pretty good at it . you can actually draw stuff alot faster instead of using the mouse to click on every menu item , and you right arm doesnt get as tired.

Just like everything else, takes a little time, every thing you need is still there, after all it is Mastercam!

[Toolfab]

+1000 to Corey

 

It is Mastercam, bigger, better, faster, but definatly different..

I just hope it comes with good looking women and a 12 pack. No my biggest obstacle will be convincing the computer genius (boss)

that it will make my work easier and more productive.

[slyym]

I'm so happy I'm blessed with a boss who doesnt know much about my end , he pretty much does whatever I tell him. He just bought new computers for the whole shop and I told him that I needed a 19" flat screen, and BAM I got it.

No hot chicks and cold beverages, I thought that was the only thing that could make MCAM better.

[slyym]

maybe someone could make a vb script for hot chicks and bevs

i'm sure there is a reason for this but why does the file extension change with each version?

It is a good thing. we come to know whether we can open it or not. In other software they keep the same extesion and file don't open.

e.g.All versions of autocad is having dwg extension but you can't open a file made in 2000 in 14. But if it is sent by a customer how will you ever come to know.

You have the wrong reseller....

 

We're not supposed to say anything really but as a beta tester I will say I am satisfied with the progress of X. It is different, but these changes are going in the right direction in a lot of aspects. I will now shut my pie hole lest I become an ex - X Beta Tester. BTW Beta 2 just came out yesterday and it looks like CNC has been listening with both ears to the resellers and Beta Testers.
