	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I like Macrofusion is easy to install and takes up very little space. I also really appreciate that the new version consolidates many of the smaller programs, so you now only need a single application. Support is easy to reach and always very helpful. One thing I like is that it gives another option besides constantly going back into CAM for small changes. We have used it to build reusable cycles that can be adjusted with variables instead of editing hundreds or thousands of lines of code. The thread generation tools are straightforward, and the Macro Library has several useful functions that can be applied to everyday jobs. Cons One downside is the lack of detailed Manuals or explanatory videos that thoroughly explain how to use the Software, thought I notice this is improving with each new version. It takes some time to learn the different features and understand where they fit into your programming workflow. New users will probably spend a bit of time experimenting before getting the most out of it.
