Funny how the total bullshit posted in these newsgroup about once a
shop has a CADCAM system it's almost impossible to change doesn't play
out in the real world. Mastercam was completely dumped by one of the
leading shops in San Diego and who has replaced Mastercam with Open
Mind Hypermill.

Further, DP Technology Esprit is being added by many shops who are
sick of Mastercam not being able to get the job done.

When you've had enough bullshit, spin, etc. suggest you check out the
Jon Banquer blog and find out why Mastercam fails miserably at doing
practical / real world multiple part simulation. New screen shots
added this morning show how easy it is to setup a tombstone and solid
cut part verify multiple parts in DP Technology Esprit with none of
the limitations that Mastercam has:

"Mastercam requires you to join all your individual .STL parts so they
make up one connected piece. Mastercam won’t simulate separate .STL
files all at once. DP Esprit has no such ridiculous limitation.
Simulating a tombstone with many different parts on it is easy in DP
Technology Esprit. It’s a exercise in frustration in Mastercam and
isn’t practical by any stretch of the imagination."

You can only find this kind of information on the Jon Banquer blog.
The Jon Banquer blog is the leading CAM-centric blog on the internet.

What did the new employee Mom & Pop hired come with?

What do YOU use, if anything?

136,000 installs, and you can't even list 10 examples of people who
"dumped" Mastercam? Or essentially, you don't even know if .0001% of
the user base has "dumped" Mastercam.

How about 5 shops that have dumped it, Jon? Can you list 5? That's
still not even .00005% of users.

I wish I could be a fly on the wall in your shrink's office. It's
gotta be quite something.
