I evaluated BobCAD/CAM (along with half a dozen others) and I can't say I'd recommend it based on my 2 hour demo of it. The UI and workflow seems primitive and complex compared to some other software packages. Also, once contact is initiated, be prepared to deal with their relentless sales force. You're basically on their contact list for life at that point, and you'll hear from them at least twice a month.
