Hi all,

maybe interesting for German speaking Community members.

Looks really good because it has full import and export capabilities. :-)

As a second thought, i should ask BobCad. If it IS a legit offering, then i wouldn't want to say such a terrible thing about somebody.

I will post back.

Was curious that was just in German :)
Or maybe it's free for a free software like FreeCad and costly for softwares like Solidworks ?

hi,
that seems to be legit, though as stefan mentioned above, just available for the german market i.e. D-A-CH (Germany/Austria/Swizerland).
press release - via google translate:

Hi BurrMan,

DataCAD GmbH is BobCAD-CAM Inc's distribution partner for the EU Market and the offer is valid
for customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as understood.

They have also a support Forum on Facebook.

Hi all, and Stefan.
It IS LEGIT. I Made a mistake. Kindof really bad of me to do. Cant apologize to Stefan enough... very sorry Stefan for casting any doubt on your post. lesson learned.

Don't feel bad burrman. I was wondering the same thing. I couldn't find any other reference to that site and was confused how it was different than Bobcad that's been around for awhile. I'm grateful for the clarification.

Hi Burrman,

absolutely no problem!

I received my licence key today on an invoice, made by BobCAD CAM Inc.

So, it can take up to four days, according to their site, because when requesting
the Software and license key your data gets also mailed to BobCAD CAM Inc.

I also had a bit time today to look into the software and it is really nice what
I have seen so far. The good thing IMHO is that is has .dwg import from 2D
drafting software and also 3D import like Solidworks or Parasolid and all the
others, like 3dm, iges and step and it allows also exporting to 3dm, iges and
step.

So, a very nice addition to MoI's tool set.

P.S. and it is the latest version V32.

Best regards
Stefan

And it's finally free or not ?

Hi Pilou,

the version which I have obtained from DataCAD GmbH is free and one can purchase a lot of additional modules.

But I don't know if this offer is available for other countries (besides Germany, Austria and Switzerland) as well ...

Stefan

So waiting the opening of European market! :)

Hi Frenchy,
Yes, this is a version put together for the European market as an introduction......

I can't speak to what markets its available to..

Hi Stefan,
I am somewhat familiar with BobCad's software. Have a place on youtube where i have posted some question/answer videos. Nothing there yet for v32 (alot has changed)....

If you needed/wanted to kick anything around, feel free to ask and i'll see if i can help...

Thanks brother,
Burr

Hi Burrman,

Regards
Stefan
