I know this is sort of a loaded question but if anyone has run recent versions of Mastercam and Powermill, WorkNC, or Cimatron and could offer any insight I would appreciate it.
We are considering all of the above as next moves for an upgrade in our CAM software.

Ease of use is very important. I.e. I would like to be able to create a quality 3d toolpath without having to set dozens of parameters.

I could be wrong,,, but every time I watch someone program in mastercam it seems like they spend a lot of time changing settings. I.e. many many clicks to get to a program. If that is the case how can you possbily get everything right? Again, I may be wrong, maybe I wasn't watching the right person doing it.

Any feed back would be appreciated.
