The Mastercam user interface for X was dated and poorly designed when it was introduced. It really hasn't improved significantly since it was introduced.

Ever notice that those who write the software aren't the best writers of help documentation? Books and videos like this are often a very valuable resource.

NX CAM Express is very close in price to Mastercam. Only when you add NX CAD's full capabilities does the price really go up.

I have such a need. I have a vertical lathe that I need to create programs for and I'll be using Mastercam X5. Since you say it's so easy I'm looking forward to asking you all the questions I can't...

Tim, why would anyone want to invest in a lathe cam that they can't grow with?

Mastercam Xtras: Come see Mastercam at SolidWorks World 2011

The time you can save by programming your parts using Mastercam’s world renowned toolpaths directly within SolidWorks are mind blowing.

The best way to stay current with a part that has changed in solidworks is to use a good cam software that runs native in solidworks.

Why not buy a used notebook that will run Mastercam X4 instead of an underpowered netbook? You should not have to pay more than 2-3 hundred bucks for a good one.

Can you post a screen grab showing how two turrets can be verified in Mastercam. Thanks.

This is easily the best book for someone new to Mastercam.
