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 wont 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. Its a exercise in frustration in Mastercam and
isnt 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.

Like you have any idea who the "leading shops" are in San Diego. You
don't even work in a "shop". I know a "leading shop" that *was* using
Pro/NC, and just bought two seats of Mastercam Level 3 with lathe and
solids. Since I know one shop who just "dumped" Pro/NC, in Banquerland
that must mean "Pro/NC Is Now Being Dumped So Frequently."

BTW, I Love The Way You Hit The Shift Key At The Beginning Of Every
Word You Type.

HAHA!! Just what we need, information about programming for a
tombstone, from a person that works in a faux "shop" filled with worn
out, tool dropping 3 axis VMCs, and not a tombstone in sight.

Why the sudden Esprit Jihad, Jon? It seems to be getting out of hand
more quickly then usual. What about Synchronous Technology? What about
HSMWorks? What about Featurecam? What happened to all of your other
Jihads over the last year?
