over all tool mangement and total over all function mastercam has Bobcad beat. The question always comes down to is price If you need the options. Let face some facts.If you are just doing 2 1/2 -3 axis programing (no complex vector moves) Bobcad sells version 20 for $500.00 compared to mastercam 2 1/2 axis on sale for $2000 maybe? So the real question for any buyer is do you need the abilty or not? as for making false claim about master cam here one that not false mastercam for the price is not in the realm of a dyi or anyone who just needs 2 1/2 axis or basic 3d and not a whole tool mangement system
