X in Michigan

[john_070]

Axsys says there the biggest reseller on there site. Find that hard to believe, Are we the last to get X

[CNCGUY]

I finally got it yesterday, although I was there for a wire class and picked it up.

 

Just need time now to work with it.

[jagg2499]

Yes and it sucks i am not happy they actually have X but they are not mailing it because the are having an open house on the 20 of sept and handing them out then and you you do not attend your copy will be mailed after the open house

[snowman]

Your not alone. Im still waiting also.

At least with all the x talk on the forum

we dont have to go into it completely blind.

 

thanks guys

I had to email Axsys to get my copy sent to me. I called and hassled them and they said if I wanted it early, I had to email them and request it.

 

Call and find out who to send the email too, and you will get it within a few days.

Call your salesman

I did and had mine the next day

[jagg2499]

i did mine told me the 20th of sept

[RandyN]

Hey Chuck,

 

Have it and learning it as we speak. I can tell I'm going to love it as soon as I'm as fast in it as I am in 9

The point of the seminar is to help you get started. It will be worth attending the seminar to get a "heads up" look and how to update your system and post file from V9 to X.

 

How would you like to have 300 people call and ask you how to update your tool libraries. It's better to show 300 people at the same time.

 

Take the time and get off on the right foot.

Has anyone from Mich gotten an e-mail stating the open house other than those who called. I'm still waiting on a V9 post fix (or a statement that it can't be fixed) that I sent in July 13 and called three times with them stating that they'll look at it "Today"

[b_daddy]

Tim,

 

When I talked to them last week they said the invitations were going to be sent out last week or this week

[jeff]

Axsys came out and installed ours on Monday the same time they upgraded us to Mill level 3.

[Chuckb from Camcentric]

Good point Mike,

 

As many of you that can make a intro seminar the better off you will be using and migrating to X.

Nothing beats a "formal training class" but at least a seminar is a step in the right direction. For those of you who haven't been to an actual training class in a while "X" is good excuse for sure. Training always pays for itself quickly. Save the Brain drain its unneccesary when all the info is available I trained Mastercam for years in Michigan and never understood why the bosses will pay for lost productivity day in and out but grumble about a 2 day training class to keep his people current. The Chinese love that we think that way in this country. It's just plain dumb!!

 

It was shocking to see shops taking 10 hours to do everyday what could be done in 1 hour.. Information is power and job security ... Get ya Some

[john_070]

Sorry about the troll post but just thought it was funny to look at axsys sight to have them bragging about being the number 1 top seller of mastercam. what about there customers who made them the biggest. We have to beg to get service.

You might even get a free beer like the top reseller MLC Cad did for us their presentation was tops.

 

but then again look at THEIR stats.

 

In 2004, MLC was number one in sales in the South in the following categories:

 

1. Sales of SolidWorks® 3D mechanical design software;

 

2. Sales of COSMOS® design validation software; and

 

3. Sales of SolidWorks Gold Partner, Mastercam, computer-aided manufacturing software.

Thanks bchristilaw,

Since I'm on the other side of the state, I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it. I'm in no hurry for X right now anyway. Vericut was purchased today, I'm working on a pallet pool post and Oracle is right around the corner so I've got other things to keep me amused.

We got our invitation to the MCX seminar yesterday. Today I got my confirmation for my reservation for the 12:00 seminar on Sept 20th in Utica. Will anyone else be attending at that time and location?

 

I look forward to meeting other forum members along with some of the folks from CNC Software.
