i 100% agree
edgecam is not user friendly at all..it has one of the worse interfaces i have ever used and this is not just my opinion

relative to other softtware it is horrible interface and way too complicated and hard to understand unless you take a training class for it

i use vectric aspire and artcam and enroute..which are good enough for me and i can understand it

for the home hobbyist edgecam should be tossed in the trash..for the professional that has time on the job to learn it or be trained that may be a diff story.
