No rounding tools ? ?

From what I have read over the years on here and other Forums a lot of folks use these type of cutters quite often, me included so I would have expected this to have been adressed with this upgrade, it is remember an upgrade not an update, quite a different version yet again ! !

V25 versus V26 ? ?

Hmmmm, think I`ll give it a miss this time round, BobCAD has pretty much got to the level of being unaffordable for the small "one man band" like me these days, probably cheaper in the long term to buy a more "mature" software and just pay the $600~$700 per year and get all the updates/upgrades every year, I have had V25 a little over 2 years and at that sort of money I would have spent about $1200~$1400, the asking price for the last upgrade to me was quoted as $1900. The math here isn`t hard ! !

To me I would rather pay a yearly amount and get ALL updates/upgrades every year or as they are available, before when BobCAD was very affordable it wasn`t such a big amount especially with the Sales Team discounts, these seem to have been drastically cut

Don`t misunderstand me, I am not "knocking" BobCAD in any way, it has improved by leaps and bounds but due to the direction the software has taken it now isn`t much more money to buy a very, very highly mature software that has been around much longer

Just my humble opinion for what it`s worth

You write like you read my Mind Rob.
It might be a good strategy for BoB to take,maintenance fees that is.I missed V24 for the same reasons Rob just spoke of.Looks like 26 will be the same.One man Band cannot justify the money.not only that,I only use my CNC part of the time,because I am running other machines.Would like to see BoB make V25 better by fixing the little stuff that is still not right with an update.They seem to do this with each version.V25 was good,but there are things not right.
