Not a great video but it does show how smart Delcam For SolidWorks is
when a pocket is changed by the customer. With this change in pocket
design the original larger end mill chosen automatically for the
pocket is now too big to machine all of the pocket. Watch what happens
when the pocket is changed:

What Delcam For SolidWorks does is reduce the tediousness that's often
associated with CADCAM programming and allows you to create part
programs much, much faster than stand-alone CADCAM programs like
Gibbscam that don't even know what a feature is.

Still nothing new, nothing that hasn't been around for quite a few
years there Jon.

Why are you so impressed with it now, all of a sudden? You do know
this is nothing new, right? You never used a real CAD/CAM system where
the model (CAD) and machining (CAM) is associative?

Why hell, they even used SolidWorks in your video to edit the model.
Looked pretty easy, not like any of the beginner SW issues you
constantly had and complained about trying to use SW. OH! and they
still have a history tree, used it without any issues, whassssssssup
with dat? Seemed pretty easy to pick a feature and modify, didn't it?

Think CAD/CAM Jon, associative, it's been around for years. Where you
been, thought you were an expert?

As an expert you make quite a few beginner mistakes Jon. Like calling
GibbsCAM a CADCAM program. GibbsCAM is a CAM program NOT a CAD/CAM
program, you should know that.
