Partmaker or Mastercam ?

[dougm]

I have 2 Citizen L series Swiss style lathes

The problem is that I cant find anyone using

Mastercam on these type machines

Partmaker is a cad-cam system that seems to have

the post worked out.

I have 3 seats of mastercam and dont wish to add

another $10,000

anyone?

Doug,

 

A little post work should help out, How are the tools called out?

 

Should be someone else out there with a similar machine, I have seen "Tens" of them in my travels to varius screwmachine shops.

Biggest issue is simultaneous dual-spindle/dual-turret (coming to a Mastercam near you sometime in the v9.x era - I've seen it ). I'm working on a post right now to handle each spindle/turret individually, but it's on my back burner due to other projects. REALLY involved and gonna be pricey, but as of yet I haven't heard of a good one out there already (I've spoken with the Citzen AE's).
