Mastercam Users: Requesting advice. Which recent version is most stable? 2023-20

[Jeff]

V9.0 was Crashtercam city!
V9.1 saved it.

Issues, yes....unstable, no

I agree.
Now if only they would admit there's been a memory leak for years and fix the fucking thing.

[Brad St]

The last "unstable" version... V7.0?

you are correct =). version 7.2 would finally run decent. Version 8 was hinky but version 9 and it's updates were the rockstar! Right behind version 6 which I feel was the most stable ;-)

What was shite, was a lot of the V9 capability had yet to be implemented into it - missing features!

A harbinger of what was to come.  Twenty years later and it's become tradition to lose features and functionality when new UI is implemented.

V6.13a was the most stable ever. However, no tool path associativity, so, today it would be useless aside from probably not even running on today's workstations. I'd wager even some 201x versions may struggle with current hardware.

Matt has a truckload of problems with MC on his company's rig. He's running Verisurf though. I'm really starting wo wonder if it's the CMM drivers that are causing his system's instability. I mean, there's people that have issues, then his workstation is on a whole other level.
