Bye William Ray
 
Another one bites the dust.
Software vendors give the same sad story to all SmartCAM users.
I'm sorry that SC is not supported anymore, that's why you need to drop
it and shell out $25,000 to $40,000 dollars on this new supported software
with all the bells and double the whistles.
 
The problem is that companys believe them and drop SC for the new stuff.
 
If the company was going to purchase a 23 axis machine that could profile
a mustard bottle by reading your brain waves with 8 tools cutting at once I
could see a use for such well rounded software.
 
I've been programming with SmartCAM for over 8 years for all types of equipment
like burners, punch, punch / plasma, turn, and mill and have not been stumped yet
on how to program the parts.
I'm envious of the companys that have moved on, maybe someday I too will progress
on to more complicated parts and much more expensive software.
Now if I could just talk my company into shelling out $30,000 for 2 seats of PartMaker
for our Swiss lathes, I would be happy.
Have a great day all,            Good luck William
