You admit to not having experience with Mastercam yet you say it's incapable of making more than a box???
But when it comes down to Freedom in Posting a Program the way you want it, Mastercam does not compare. No freedom to do what you want to do, only what Mastercam wants to do.
Mastercam gives you more freedom than ANY other package I've seen when it comes to posting or modeling or toolpathing.
LoL, "only what Mastercam wants you to do", lol. You might not be aware that, with Mastercam, you generally have multiple ways of achieving the same end result, giving it more versitility than most packages I've used.
it doesn't even have a G-Code Back Plotter.
Last time I tried Bobcad, it wasn't much more than a backplotter with a graphical interface to make some edits.
This is my opinion, of course. Put it to the test. Bobcad/cam 20.6 Full 3Axis with Solids. What Mastercam basic 2-1/2 axis can do? Boxes if your lucky.
I take it your 'limited' experience with Mastercam was drawing a square and putting a toolpath on it, right?
I'd appreciate it if you would quit making false claims about Mastercam because you obviously don't know of it's capabilities. Is it expensive? Yes. But you get what you pay for.
