Estlcam, anyone using it?

Software

I have gone through all the suggested CAM in the software guide. Estlcam stood out to be the most familiar to me, coming from Easel. I was wondering, it seems like it has a free version and a paid version, but I am not sure what the difference is, or if the free version just works for a certain period of time. I don’t mind paying for it as it looks fairly decent and it has a lot of options. Just wondering if anyone else uses it or tried it and their thoughts on it. If there is something you prefer, open to hearing more feedback on CAM software.

One thing that was very odd was Estlcam didn’t have an undo function or crtl-z operation which I thought was quite odd. Would have been nice to just undo something you deleted by accident.

I have seen it mentioned, but know nothing about it.

I’m definitely using, and I have paid for it.

Technically it’s nagware. So, after several uses / days (I forget which) it introduces a delay asking you to pay for it. But you don’t have to.
