MASTERCAM X

[JAMES GABEL]

I want to know if the first service pack fixed all the problems with the first release? I am ready to go to X, but I can not afford to have a lot of down time trying to fix problems.

 

Thanks,

Well I will put it to you this way. I know of bugs in V9 so if you want a perfect no problem having Cam package might want to invest a couple billon in your own to get it that way. Yeah I know I am a smarta$$ but that is the reality of it.

Software will always have bugs. If you're

waiting for them to "fix all the problems", you've got a long wait.

Having said that, SP1 is a big improvement over

the initial release, but some poeple are still having backplot issues.

 

I am currently testing the latest MR1 beta release. I've had it installed for almost 2 weeks. I've had exactly 1 crash and filed zero bug reports.

I have been using X exclusively since August and would not even think of going back to V9

James, you better start looking at X now. You're going to have down time just trying to learn the new interface.

 

SP1 made it a little better and update 1 made it a little better than that. Now that CNC Software has a lot more "beta testers," I look forward to some big changes in MR1. :Fingers crossed:

Not really down time just a learning curve. It was that way for me anyway.

 

I think I forgot how to use 9 already.

Let's Go Jim. The world awaits us! Yehaaa! Dive in the waters Fine and Dandy. As Dandy as it's gonna get for now. yuck yuck yuck.... We're a waistin time. Loadem up, move-um out Cow-hide....

I know there will always be bugs but I just wanted to ask to see what all of you had to say. I am going to X on monday.

[JAMES GABEL]

Thank you for the help.

[Thad]

We just jumped into it, James. We got X almost 2 months ago and have been using it since. If we run into problems, we just work around them. I've never had to go back to V9.

 

Go for it!

Hi guys!

I agree with all of you.

But Mastercam is tool for most of us. Not the toy. And most of us don’t have time to play.

I am still using 9 , and trying to learn X , to move as soft as possible.

I set most of thinks up on way I like then uninstalled program for some reason and found..... I forgot all steps to bring software back to condit. I like. (Set up kind of complicated this time. I am using mc 10 years already). So must be some manual where you can read how to set up soft. Step by step to make it more convenience for users.

Regards

in you'll be that much happier.
