Me thinks it might have something to do with Volumill paying "Smurfware" for their truemill thingie.and CNC Software suing Surfware for them threatening to sue CNC. 2 differnt companies offering different solutions to what Mastercam should do well on its own.yet CNC Software chooses to kick one out. Now lets add to this that CIMCO has a far superior offering (the debate is out.who is better.Cimco of Volumill) to Mastercam's newer paths yet CNC Software chooses to keep them on the board. I suppose it is confusing to stay with a company that does not admit they have bugs rather than go with one that actually fixes their problems on the fly.

Then CNC Software makes the decision to totally break ties with Volumill (who has a great engine, is well supported AND fixes bugs on the fly) because they feel that it is confusing to the customer to have a addon that basically does the same thing as their newer paths(optirough, rest, ect).

How does your employer feel about you spending your time doing these trivial tasks rather than making bulletproof programs that wind up on the floor? The beta program as it stands, is a complete joke (and this is coming from someone who was a "referral reseller" for the last 6 years) You should be getting the software for free with the amount of effort you put into it. You also list yourself as a beta-tester.and you say that you work 70+ hours a week at your "day job".some of which time must be devoted to turning in numerous bug reports. Workarounds are wasted time getting a feature to work like it should, nothing more. Over my many years of reading this forum I have grown to respect you as a programmer.tho you choose to not be a critic of Mastercam for whatever reason. 99% of the time its a bug that many people (including yourself) has a workaround for. Any time I want to find bugs in Mastercam, all I have to do is log in to this forum & check out the first 5 threads. CNC software is just as far behind of the times on this issue as they are on lathe. Long gone is the understatement of the century. I suspect we'll see a change in that policy before too long.

That may have made some sense, pre-internet but those days are long gone. (Tho.to be ers most familiar with mastercam will be MUCH more comfortable with mastercams style.the Cimco plugin, while excellent, has a dialog of its own) That being said, they both produce the similar results much like Volumills did. Well.Cimco's offering has been out since V9.and its "Adaptive Clearing" path most defiantly mirrors Mastercam's "dynamic" paths. (pure speculation on my part) I do find it rather curious that they do not decided to drop support of Cimco's offering.even more curious is that CNC dropped Volumill saying "it creates confusion with our customers" having a package running inside of mastercam that supposedly duplicates its native functions. Because Volumill pays Surfware royalities and CNC Software has or had a pending lawsuit against Surfware they drop Volumill. The second li nk expands on my thoughts more so than the first. Warning!
