If you purchased X5 as a new release and do not continue your maintenance. If you purchase their software and your maintenance expires while you are on one of their bug ridden initial releases you are stuck with that bug ridden P.O.S. They used to release service packs but that is no longer the case. Mastercam releases them as Maintenance updates so that they can charge you for the patches to bugs and justify it by releasing the bug fixes with added functionality.
Companies that release patches to their software release them as free bug fixes for issues that have been found. In many ways it is like skinning a cat - there are many ways to do it, and they all work.Mastercams MU does not come close to comparing to a patch in other systems. They act like "patches" for other products.
John, Mastercam has what they call "Maintenance Updates" for given releases instead of just giving it a new number. I use it every day and there ain't nothing buggy about it. I can explain it to you.Īs far as Mastercam being buggy - that is a lie. If you need more clarification John, PM me. Then, when a more thorough update is released it may go to X3. So John, to clarify, Mastercam X2 might have an update called X2MU1 if there is a maintenance update number one for it.

You do realize that it is the companies decision to actually name the release whatever they want to, right? Or do you guys in Canada expect the government to mandate what companies call their own products? SO, Windows 7 is just windows 2007 in your mind? I never gave a crap about the year matching the number put on the release. Mastercam won't do this so they can get away with charging a yearly maintenance fee and only bring out five new buggy releases in 10 years. X5 is Mastercam 2005? Every one else uses the year as the release. Since the version before X was almost 10 years ago X would be Mastercam 2000.
