Dont think it will get you banned from here , the BobCAD forum possibly

Well I'm not concerned about being banned from bobcad/cam forum...I'm not a member. I'm not going to pay for bobcad/cam without being able to use it just so I can join their forums.

Lol...that makes me wonder if the reason they wont let you join forum is simply because they want your money or they only want people that will praise their product on their forums? hmmm...possibly both?

Sabastian,

I hope this doesn't get me banned from forum.

You expressed your experience as a new user of software with implied seeking of opinion. There is nothing wrong with that.
Should you have just vented angrily,ie; like you bought it and wanted to do harm to some company, then it would be looked upon differently and not tolerated.
The forum users here are above that, can accept honest factual criticism or evaluation of a product, since that is informative to the community of users.

BTW,
I remember spending hours trying out Ver 17 of it a few years back and gave up on it.
