Why can't MC Make the Perfect Product?

[Exodus]

Why doesn't MC take the functionality of Solidworls (being able to change stuff after you make it) and combine it with the cam portion of MC? Then, it would be the perfect product. I'm sure everyshop would turn to it.

[cadcam]

But everybody turns to it now.

[Ray H.]

Sure, but full blown parametric based software is very involved. Although this is where Mastercam is headed

[Storkman]

I have put in several beta requests for "perfect software". Might not make the next release, but they said they are looking into it for future releases.

I'd like to put the print in the front and have the part fall out the back...

[cadcam]

Chris,,, LOL!!!!

Yeah, the machine tool manufactures need to catch up too....I still want a machine that requires no set up and simply has a "make my part now" button...

[Mito@DeeringBanjos]

[chris m]

Yeah; put that right next to the PANIC button

[Exodus]

Don't they have machines where you simply clamp the vise and it uses lasers to set the machine up automatically?

 

If they do come out with the design like I was thinking, they should give our school a beta

Yep, right next to the Hovercars

History driven cad-cam has a lot of issues too .

I used Cimatron -it has history for everything ,not only solid and you can unwind literally anything (in theory )

In real life you get monstrous file and lot of issues especially if you have assemblies ,references and not standart situations .

I prefer simple ,but mighty cad program for MC and design part of mastercam suites me well .

I made molds with it ,even without Moldplus .

It can do lot more thing s that you imagine .

Look on my dirty tricks thread for some examples

of it`s might

[andrewgore]

Maybe if they made a product that

A. didnt cost a ton of money

B. Didnt crash relatively often

C. worked how it was supposed.

D. Came out on time.

E just overall caused less headaches.

 

People would be a bit happier

 

kinda reminds me of how motorola said my v710 phone was supposed to have all this bluetooth stuff, but in reality it wasnt there....long story short, a class action lawsuit fixed the problem. I'm not suggesting that, but its a good analogy

ps. any update with the surfaces jumping levels, and going haywire on the color issue of them?, or the random verify crash?

I don't know the history on this problem but have you already made sure the EA Manager is not turned on and switching surfaces to a certain level/color? Just my first thought after reading your post.

[andrewgore]

yeah. been through basically every possibility to fix it. It's a software issue. Chris cozell (sp) at shopware when I talked to him about the problem a month or so ago, agreed that its been an ongoing problem that for some reason is being neglected.

Andrew, ( any relation to Al?) Are you making money with it? If not, why have you stayed? Not a good business venture. You can leave anytime and I don't believe it will bother anyone. You are a total @ss and maybe you should move on. See ya! 21 years old and knows it all.

A. Price Competitors

B. MR2 is more stable than 9

C. Haven't seen any commitments that haven't been fullfilled

D. May have been late, but works.

E. Refering to A. Try competitors. See advial industrial.

 

I get so tired of ignorant people who don't want to spend the time to learn something new calling it crap. I don't deny X has issues, but I would never go back to ver9. And neither would anyone who has put any effort into learning it.

Louie, do you need a hug? C'mon, I'm just playing with ya. I have never been anything but nice to you. FWIW, I am glad that it is going well for you. Really. {{{HUGS}}}
