Future versions of Mastercam will not install on Windows 7. Mastercam 2022 will install on Windows 7 systems but will not be supported. Mastercam 2021 was the last release to officially support Windows 7 as Microsoft ended extended support for the OS in January 2020. While Mastercam may run on other Windows editions (such as Home Edition) or virtual environments (such as Parallels for Mac), it has not been tested on these configurations and is therefore not supported.

Not Mastercam by a long shot, but I could buy a decent car with the price delta. I bought this for my work at home, perfectly capable software. Imports from Solidworks as well as a bunch of other formats. A seat of the "pro" design software is $1k and the CAM is I want to say 2k for up to 4 axis work. I'd tell you to take a look at Alibre and AlibreCAM (which is an MecSoft product that plugs in to Alibre). Not to say they won't work, but they won't work significantly better with your machine. IIRC you are working with a TM series mill, which really won't utilize a lot of Mastercam's power and toolpaths. I would encourage you to look at other options to get your feet wet in this area that are less expensive. If you don't get the training and you are just starting with this stuff, you are wasting money on features you will never figure out. Be prepared to drop some coin on the software, and on training. Mastercam and SW are an expensive and powerful combo. Good system, plenty of RAM, good graphics card.

You need capable hardware to run this stuff.

Don't upgrade one without making sure it works with the other, and if you let the maintenance lapse on one, what does it cost you to fix that as you may be required to in order to get updates of the other to work. The point is that you need to keep on top of what version of what you have and what it will open.

It seems that this time around they simply released a patch to update the file translators. This can be an issue, especially with some of the stuff I do in sheet metal unfolding, basically anything I need thats feature based. I'd have to save in one of the neutral formats, and reopen. For instance when SW2012 was being released, Mastercam X6 wasn't available yet, and I was unable to open SW2012 files until X6 was released. You need to be on top of what versions of what you have, of everything. That being said there are a couple of caveats : None of them would make any money if they couldn't open parts from various design software. Every CAM package I've ever used has facilities for opening various types of part files, at the very least most allow you to open a more neutral format like. Of course you can open parts in Mastercam that you create in Solidworks, as you can open many different file types in Mastercam. Lots of angry people over their recent acquisition but never the less it looks very similar to MC4SW. I watched some tutorials and like what I saw. I'm have been trying to find time to download and try HSMWORKS plug in for SW and try it out on my own. Talk to your reseller about what they are (I dont remember what issues we had, but I do remember getting frustrated a few times). There are features that are in MC and not in the the SW version. Simple parts I can draw and program right in mc quickly. I personally prefer the stand alone now that I am used to it. Its impossible to know which will be best for your needs, but they both have their place. even though the 3D was the reason he switched to the stand alone over MC4SW. We do a lot of multiple set ups (multiple WCS) but not much 3D. eapprentice got me my current job: Studied for 3 weeks and was able to pass every test the boss threw at me for 2.5d. MC is amazing as far as possibility and there is a TON of information available to help. Open MC, open the SW file from inside MC, Rotate part (SW and MC use different "tops" which is obnoxious), and go. For 2.5D its very fast and easy to program right in SW and if a design change is needed you make it, it tells you that you should re gen toolpaths and poof, you're done.

harder to get help than it is for MC full version. Getting deeper into it was challenging since (it seems like) only 9 people on planet earth use it. A friend was having a hard time creating a part and when I helped him through it I played with MC4SW and it was very intuitive on the surface. I had been doing CAD for years, but never touched a CAM.
