anybody using cam software imbedded in solidworks?

?

 

Yes. Currently beta testing HSMWorks 2008 in SolidWorks 2007.

 

Translation from the banquerbabble: he has no clues.

 

Just got done reading their websites.
Nice stuff from what I see.
Thing is, I'm kinda not sure it's better to be integrated with solidworks? I
will admit I'm sick of leaving solidworks to add some toolpath, but it's
nice to be able to "cheat" toolpath in mastercam sometimes.
BUt...Maybe solidworks will allow those kinds of freeform toolpath and
geometry creations? Can it machine from data in a sketch? Does it always
have to be machining on a solid? Is that all it has..solid machining
routines?

Once I have toolpath, can I easily rotate, copy, mirror, plane change,
toolpaths? Can I easily change the order of cuts in an operations manager
kinda thing?

 

Thing is, I'm kinda not sure it's better to be integrated with solidworks?

Send me an e-mail address.

 

Got it. Hope what I sent you went through.

 

How about you? You got anything worth adding?

 

The mere idea of a company using JB as a beta tester would speak
VOLUMES about said company. That is of course, assuming JB is
actually telling the truth.

JB is capable of nothing more than pressing a bunch of buttons,
misunderstanding the help files, getting angry, and then Jihadding all
over the internet.

Mark my words. At some point JB will turn against this software. It
may be a few years down the road, but it will happen.

 

They want to make the program idiot proof so they went out and got the
biggest one they could find?

I may. Not everyone is a product loyalist like you are and feels that
you have to be loyal to a product forever like you have shown on a
consistent basis that you are with Mastercam.

Mastercam and Gibbscam both develop at such a slow rate and need so
much work I fail to see why anyone should be loyal to developers like
this.

Both products leave a lot to be desired but you're too stupid to
understand what and where the problems really are and that it's
possible for other companies to come up with better approaches and
better ideas.

HSMWorks has some very good ideas.

The sad FACT is that neither you or Tom Brewer have a clue what's
really needed in a CADCAM system and you both prove this is the case
on almost a daily basis.

 

First off, show me one example EVER of me being a Mastercam
"loyalist". I just call it like I see it, and I can clearly see that
you don't have the slightest clue how to use ANY cam system,
especially Mastercam.

I use Mastercam because it works, and I know HOW to make it work. I
don't care what other people use. Just last week I recommended a guy
buy Gibbs because it's what his shop people were familiar with. People
should use what ever system works for them.

What's really funny, is that YOU think you know, "what's really needed
in a CADCAM system." You PROVED you can't even use the most basic
functions of Mastercam, yet you think you know "what's really needed".

You can't even select a 2D chain, let alone elaborate on your idiotic
"complaints" about the product.

When was the last time you even used Mastercam?

 

Hey joe, hey john banquer, hey brewer SHUT THE **** UP
ALLREADY!!!!!
NOBODY GIVES A FLYING **** ABOUT YOUR CHILDISH BANTER, AND WHO KNOWS
MORE THAN WHO ABOUT A PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT ISN'T EVEN RELATIVE TO
THIS GROUP.
give one another your address by e-mail, agree to meet somewhere, and
whale the living shit out of each other and get it over with. then get
the **** out of this industry forever and start selling aluminum
siding or something, then join the aluminum siding forums and torture
them for awhile and GIVE US A FUCKING BREAK ALLREADY!!!! YOU ARE
REALLY DISGUSTING, SICKENING HUMAN BEINGS!!!!!
Hajii

 

More buzzwords?

 

Don't sugar coat it Haj, tell us how you really feel!

I typically go out of my way to NOT post to the comp.cad.solidworks
group, but JB is always cross posting so it automatically posts to you
guys too unless I remember to remove it.

HTH

 

Can't do that, many post from the same servers, google, tera news, altopia,
etc...
Best thing to do is get nfilter. It can be ran using a regex.
Now you can write a regular expression that basically says...

this and that, but not that, unless this is there etc...
Hell you can ever write one to filter a certain person only if replying to
another person.
Or add words in the body to filter against including header info. There's
no limits to what can be filtered exactly.

Filter crossposts only if the post is by such and such and only if the work
jon is in it, and only if its crossposted or not crossposted to certain
groups.

 

Another good catch, BD.
DANG TROLL !!!

 

LOL ...

 

What do you have against toilets & related products?
