Don't be surprised if he calls you. CURLY
THEY DO ON A REGULAR BASIS If I'm not knee deep in something at the time I listen just a bit to the pitch then butt in. I have a problem with your nesting software! I'll say. Then I get transferred to tech.
I bought the thing for the nesting because I cut many sheets of 3/8" & 1/2" A36 plate. The main part I want is (18) 15" circles. This leaves about a 6" square of plate between these circles. BCC-Nest will not recognise these scrap pieces as usable for other small parts!!!! Which I also keep rolling stock of these small items on the shelf for future sale.
anyway Tech support will tell me they haven't fixed that bug as yet So I get to tell their salesman I don't need an upgrade or new version. I also use their high pressure sales tactics at that point & offer sell them a full unused V21 with Nest for 1000.00 then 800.00 then 600.00 then offer just to ship it back if they'll pay the UPS bill. Somewhere in there I usually loose phone connection.
They were really trying to rape you on the price too. Sometime around Dec. Or Jan. They offered the entire NEW package to me for something like $600.00.
What little bit I did try to use it to write code for Mach There was always some glitch in the code.
So I'm one of the guys that when asked about BCC I'm very quick to give my $800.00+ University of Hard Knocks education. NEVER EVER, NO HOW, NO WAY, would I even let them give it to me if I had to use it. I've never even offered to give my version to anyone because I don't want to turn a friend into an enemy.
If it works.....Don't fix it!
