    Going from swiss to 5 axis milling

    Hello everyone,
    For the past few years I've been programming and running several Citizen machines. The previous programmer taught me PartMaker. I used it at the beginning. But as I gained more knowledge. I wanted to use more of the machines functions such as c for chamfer , a for angle as well macro programming. This is something partmaker did not support.

    Recently the company announced they were going to consolidate facilities. This would add another 40 miles one way to work I already drive 25 so that would be 65 mile drive one way.
    I was looking at job openings at local companies. Found one that interests me. Shop has several Tsugamis. But they are looking for someone to do 5 axis programming
    . They have several Hass mills. They are using Esprit as well as Mastercam for programming. Just wandering how hard of a switch this would be?

    Thanks
