Hello to all,
Does anybody of you use HSMWorks Turning?
If yes, why nobody is talking about how much it sucks. I am sick and tired of taking to HSMWorks resalers who really want to help and I feel these guys are bunch of great people but their hands are tied up and they can only hope that Auto desk will wake the heck up and do what they were promising for years.
Now Fusion and Inventor along the side of Solidworks and this is still ignored ???
I can't complain about milling, it does what it should but Turning sucks.
To all of you who consider buying HSMWorks , take a trial and test turning. And don't waste the money. there is no support no materials to refer to when you run into problem , things like boaring are set completely awkward and it seams that nobody cares to fix it. Auto desk bough over the HSMworks and completely ruined the product that was beautifuly growing and evolving into a leading CAM software.
They are pushing the Fusion and Inventor which is okay okay but neglected the HSMWorks and its development. Nothing major was done to it for years.
Unless you count the new Version numbers.
And never mind the extortion approach in with the maintenance fees. If you don't pay your yearly $1200 fee you won't be able to ever upgrate to a new version of the software. You would have to buy entire new package again. What kind of communistic bull crap is that. And nobody protests.
I intend to let everybody know and I hope that those of you who can share my frustration would join and do the right thing. let's inform everybody about whats going on. People should know the truth. I am an owner of prototyping business and I always treat people the way I want to be treated , after many years of empty promises nothing major was done to address the simplest things.
if you don't believe me try to call the support of HSMWorks at autodesk.
They don't even list the phone number , so good luck.
I would be open to hear your opinion about it.
Let's make people who are about to spent their hard earned money with Auto desk to be aware what are they getting into.
Mike.
