I am actually going to try to sell a few seats, I cant believe there are some shops that arent

with the program, I am going to try to show them what they are missing.Coming from a background of other systems It gives me some leverage.Thanks for the support.Next on my agenda sooner or later will be a machining center.I gotta ways to go, but someday.

Use 8.1.1 for toolpathing and design

Currently beta testing 9.1

The rest of the department uses 8.1.1 also.

 

Back when 9.0 came out I couldn't recommend spending the money for the upgrade. 9.0 seemed to be nothing more than a bunch of bug fixes with some cosmetic/interface changes tacked on to justify the version change.

 

With that being said, I've been testing 9.1 beta and like it a whole lot. If the boss decides to upgrade the department to 9.1 I'd be a very happy camper. But with things still slow I don't know if x-dollars for the upgrade will translate into x-plus-dollars in savings from increased productivity, fewer toolpath errors, etc…

Hi Jay, I'm still using V8.1.1. I have thought that I should think about upgrading but am probably worried about the time it might take me to get used to the new version. The best support available to me by far is this forum. 'Nuff said.

Cheerio, Hugh.

Good Luck mold100

 

On your new venture

[Matthew]

I am still using v8.1.1 Level 1.

 

I spoke with a couple people at the trade shows demoing v9, and they recommended that upgrading to v9 for level 1 didn't have too many more enhancements. It is my intention to stick with this version until v10, or until I can afford the upgrade to level 3.

good luck mold100

 

The WCS alone is worth the upgrade to V9. It doesn't matter if you use mill level 1 or 3 as long as you have parts that have more than one setup or if you do anything for the automotive or aerospace industry. I think anyone that uses the WCS on a daily basis would agree.

 

my 2, scratch that, 4 cents
