Mastercam posts are OPEN SOURCE. They are thier own programming language. There is almost NOTHING you can't do with them. You can make the changes yourself.
Chances are there's a post that will work out of the box (FREE) with purchase. Or you can modify your own if you're comfortable with it. (Basic mods are VERY easy and can be done by most anyone, especially considering how much more support is available for Mastercam vs Bobcad.)
When you buy Mastercam, just make sure they put in writing that you want a post for your machine that does 'this and that'.
Does that answer your question??
But post processors shouldn't be the deciding factor. Power, reliability, support are also big reasons to base a choice on.
