A minor "update" on Va****ware

[
Updated 6-17-2008:

the mastercam handbooks page

coming this weekend to the mastercam handbooks page:

Suggestions for covering layers which are not presently covered at all in
Mastercam Handbook Volume 1 and why making use of layers is so im****tant
for
machining parts and is such a time saver, working with im****ted files that
can’t
be machinined “as is” because the part has been designed by someone who
doesn’t
understand or care about the machining process.

Because there is a better way. That's why there are no levels / layers 
in HSMWorks and the only levels / layers in SolidWorks are just for 
drawings.

I'd also like to know from you or anyone else how it's possible for 
layers or levels in Mastercam, Surfcam, Gibbscam, etc. to compete with
what 
SolidWorks uses .... assemblies and configurations.
