Editing?,

This review is from: Learning Mastercam Mill X Step by Step in 2D (Paperback)
The material is worthwhile, but the editors have let down the authors on this text. I found too many errors to be excused. Errors focused on spelling and missing keystroke information.Come on guys! Spelling errors are inexcusable these days! Key stroke sequence errors should have been fixed in the editing process. I have worked with AutoCAD for 19 years, and I have been writing CNC programs for 8 years. I was able to deduce the correct keystroke information, but I think this would be a difficult (frustrating) text for the novice.

o.k. for experienced programmers,
By
This review is from: Learning Mastercam Mill X Step by Step in 2D (Paperback)
this is not a book for anyone not familiar with previous mastercam releases. I've been working with mastercam 9 for 3 years and this is o.k. for making the transition from 9 to 10, but it does not explain any fundamentals or how any of the functions work, only the keystrokes and mouse cliks necessary to execute them. I also have trouble understanding the refrences to the exercises on the C.D. The C.D. does not have a file for each exercise.
