Mastercam wire issues

[prosoft]

Good Morning Guys............

 

One of our prospect customers in NewZealand has previously used Smartcam Wire and liked the ease of use of the system.

 

He made the following comments:

 

1. Snugless cuts - he doesnt like the method of Mastercam v9; oblong slot cutting line.....he says this method is slow.

 

2. Of the five options for nibbling out from the hole.....he doesnt like any of them.....assuming he is comparing to smartcam wire

 

3. In the Mastercam Wire manual there is a page.......warning ->>>>>> checking and correcting for slivers...........for some reason this statement didnt impress him

 

4. Mastercam offers 6 different cutting options...... he didnt like any of them and none of them were simple and easy to use as smartcam wire which had features that allowed him to change power settings at any point and time on toolpaths.....he liked this control element very much

 

5. They do a lot of press tools and he felt that the drawing power of Mastercam was unecessary complicated

 

6. His old smartcam system has no vertical lines and end point requirements. It was all automatic................no wall offset and no need to redraw

 

7. Also Mastercam offers very few chaining options

 

Certainly appreciate your comments relative to version 9 and some of this issues may be substantially different to version x

 

Could you please give me some insights?

 

Thanks, Samir
