Re: What The Major Problem With Alibre Really Is :
OK. Now that we have established that, does it make sense for Alibre to look backwards to those that have older CAM systems or does it make more sence for those with older CAM programs to look fowards and upgrade their CAM programs? Don't answer that, as it is a rhetorical question.

Please elaborate. Which CAM programs don't understand faces or solids? I can understand some 2D type programs (but those are pretty easy to program at the machine using a 2D print).
Plenty of the older ones. Many that do wire EDM, laser, etc.
