![]() There's another side to this, which is the productivity hit. And, of course, you know very well that a company like GoEngineer has already produced posts for the VF2 so they are charging you full tilt to more than likely just email you a copy of an already existing post processor. I can't believe they are charging every VF2 owner $750 to effectively reinvent the wheel. For everything else these companies need to invest the time to develop a sensible starting point and even a few options from there. Getting CAMWorks years ago may have been a mistake as most people I know are using MasterCAM. How is it with other CAM packages? I might consider switching just on the principle of it all. It has these generic post processors you can play with and that's it. The CAM software ought to come out of the gate with a library of supported machines. But for a Haas machine? Or any other common machine out there? This is nothing less than despicable to me. Someone might have to devote some time to configure it. I can understand charging to configure a post processor for an oddball machine. And now I am told by GoEngineer it'll cost $750 to get the code. So.I paid-up to renew my license and give it another try rather than going to, say, MasterCAM. I bought it back in 2008 and haven't used it since 2010 after I closed my business.
