It'll be interesting to see if they delete it, edit it or ban me.Clearwater, Florida – BobCAD-CAM Inc. I just posted a negative thread on their forum. I have a copy of BobCAD for sale, if anyone's interested? Takers? Anyone? I gladly accept paypal. Sadly, in the case of BobCrap, exaggeration is impossible. Funny commercial that may or may not be exaggerated where Microsoft's concerned. It turns out, that's how much money is being used to market Vista to compensate for all its bugs rather than fixing them. They remind me of that Mac commercial where there's a table stacked high with currency. It's just too bad that they work so hard at giving the illusion their software is top-notch and not hard enough at quality control. Some of it's cumbersome and I'm okay with that if the out-of-pocket expense isn't too high. There's still not as much user available customization as I'd like to see, but if what's there actually worked, it wouldn't be a god-awful program. That being said, if all it's features worked, I could see it being worth spending a grand on.
But, in the end, it will be remembered for all the things it attempted to do and failed than what it does well or what it isn't designed to do at all. In fact, BobCrap's demonstrators do a bang-up job avoiding the land mines (no pun intended) and giving the impression of a perfect program. The program reminds me of some of the shareware I've downloaded in the past. As a low level software and web site developer, I can honestly say I wouldn't make a product like the most recent version and build of BobCrap available for public use. only show you the "safe" path through the mine field of bugs and lost data.Įven at $10/hour BobCrap has cost me $3300. No amount of training can fix the bugs in the program. I've finally decided to abandon it altogether. I've essentially wasted nearly 300 (estimated) hours and $300 since buying it a month ago (yes, I do work THAT much). An hour or two later, I'd encounter similar behavior over some other failure on the part of their designers to properly code the program. Once I figured that out, that problem stopped. On one such occasion, it turned out to be that two of the tools in the tool library had the same tool number.
This would happen a couple dozen times before I could finally find what was causing it. I've had more than a few days where BobCrash would abruptly end without warning, losing any changes. It seems, their programmers don't know what error trapping is. Be prepared to spend hundreds of hours learning how to work around the myriad of pitfalls. In my opinion, BobCAD is the most expensive CAD/CAM software out there. I paid $300 for Level one Mill, Lathe and BobArt with Level 2 Preditor Editor. I just bought BobCAD v23 about a month ago. What would be a good inexpensive drawing system i can't afford solidworks or autodesk? Are there any cam systems comparable to bob cad for the price? I hear alot of talk about onecnc but it is a bit more pricey.FYIW.
