Mastercam 2024 is an amazing release because it's mostly about making Mastercam an efficient CAM program to use with radically improved workflow. It's clear that CNC Software now has their shit together and is laser focused on this. I have asked for these changes for over a decade and been trashed for it by the good old boy clique from e-mastercam. Sandvik has tons of money and CNC Sofrware has been hiring like crazy. It's working. They are even making chaining less modal! Saving and reusing machining methods is also less modal. Simulation is less modal. Big changes with a more powerful view cube and lots more dialog box stuff put into their panels. I expect a move now to put more pop up dialog box stuff into their panel system in future releases. Their new graphical markers for drilling are incredibly helpful. You no longer have to backplot to see what's going on. All I can say is it's about fkn time CNC Software got their act together. I believe Mastercam 2024 is the best release of Mastercam ever.
