Kristin,

Nope. I only know of 1 full service station in the county, and no cheese.
 MOST PLACES you have to put in a quarter to get air. But Britt blows up my tires and suck starts my Harley.
Keeps her in good shape though. Dem dar S.C girls are somtin else. Im sure Brett can verify that.

ED,

Years ago... I was in your fair state for a friends wedding and recall every time we stopped for fuel the attendant wanted to clean the windscreen, check the pressure in your tyres and offer you some Wisconson Cheese! Do they still do that to out of state visitors?

As predicted by ART, Scott did the right thing a few moment ago. I still stand by my warning that LC is not worth the price and will be looking for recommendations from satisfied users of programs of even twice the price or more, when you take in to consideration how much time and material you can waste with something that is buggy and does not work it becomes a matter of weighing the cost vs. time. I really can't afford a high priced program, I may dual boot and look at what Linux has to offer.

Art,

Put your claws away or I'll sic the bear on you!

All I am saying is that the "added" features do not work or work well. There is no way to evaluate them before taking the $75 plunge, and as you point out with a "Web License" that is a bit too late. There should be a Warning that the software will not work  as expected [/color] [/size], the basic "free" version does what it does, the "PRO" version does not work well at all. Witout a doubt Artsoft has made a big dent in the industry, I had a BobCad-Cam sales guy call me last week offering their new version for $900, then for $700, then for $500, $400 and finally for $300 with added CD video disks!

I've e-mailed Scott, awaiting his answer and also opened a PP dispute just so I didn't get busy and go past the deadline. Mach is a great product, very well supported, it's a shame LC can't be as good.

Dave,

I hope your right, this may not seem like a big deal to most folks, but to me $75 is a BIG chunk of money probably like $750 to most! I should have screamed the first day when the offset thing was acting up, really no reason for that type of crappy behaviour out of software and as Art said the Zoom thing was a workaround to fixing a known bug! I've tried to be patient and "try" to learn the software but when it takes several tries just to drill a few holes, and cut out a part that is rediculous. The complete lack of even a rudementary "user guide" is even worse, which is why I am so ticked, I suppose I should have asked what I get for $75 before pressing the PayPal key but I didn't. Might go there and open a dispute too, unless I get some good answers in 24 hours or less.

E-mail just sent, I suggest anyone else that coughed up $75 for this POS do the same, or contact me and we can start a class action suit about it.

Scott,

I am really disappointed in Lazycam, I thought I would get some documentation with my $75 and not just added "features" that barely work. I want a refund, tired of banging my head against the software wall, no docs, no real support and hearing that no new versions are forthcoming. You guys really need to clean this program up and get a better user interface where we don't have to click on 16 tabs to see all the parameters and then still after a dry run and cleanup of code ruin parts.

LazyCam (Beta) / Re: Rev. Numbers

« on: September 10, 2008, 05:57:21 PM »

Hi,
I noticed that in one of the posts you were involved in you mentioned that Lazycam
is "not bad".
I have to tell you, after paying the money for the right to use it I'm
really disappointed.
It's ok if you import 1 or 2 lines or arcs but after that it's a royal pain in the A**
I just tried to import a profile that was all connected and that was made up of
42 lines and arcs. Just to cut this thing it would take 3 hrs of messing with it because
when you import a dxf file it just imports 42 separate lines and arcs, nothing is
consistant. I would have to change the direction and order of every line - arc.
What is going to be done with this.

I know of about 15-20 major problems that need to be fixed.
It's been out so long and no one really gives a crap about really fixing it.
Why?

Please let me know,
Brian Hendrickson

For $75 we should be getting at least a little support, might be time for a class action to get a refund, I have been beating my head against the wall several weeks now and there are as Brian H. says numerous problems that need to be fixed or refund our money and turn it loose as a beta program where things might get fixed.

Just sent this off to Scott Nichols:
