To the OP - why don't you just stick with Featurecam if you are so happy?
Ive been a long time MC user, and the last 3 years ive been on FC. I just want to try and get the most from MC as well. I tinker around with designing in my spare time, and machining on the side. I dont have FC available to me as much. Believe me, FC isnt the best at some things. Its great for Programming, and Gouge checking, and surfmilling. But inefficient at drafting, and we dont have the modeling package with it. So I cant develope any 3D models. We use both here, but they each have their strengths.
