Yes they both are great programs. If you can swing it Aspire does everything that Vcarve pro does and can also make lithos like Photo vcarve. You can get Part works that is the same as Vcarve pro.

One thing you may notice is that arcs/ splines with a few nodes in Autocad will ...for some reason.... ??? have dozens of nodes once imported into Vectric.
Not sure how to prevent this.
"node edit" does not then work so well
The decimal point seems to be the most important on the z axis... x & y not so much....
ShopBot... Where even the scraps and things you mess up and throw away are cool....
@Curtis,
The nice thing is that Vcarve has a "fit curves to vectors" function that will help a lot on that front.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
i got a trial vcarve and tried to edit some stuff but when i try to make a toolpath it doesnt recognize some vaecters??
Depends on what type of toolpath you're trying to create. Some toolpaths require a closed vector, imported vectors are seldom closed so you would need to use the Join Vector tool (press J) or use the individual close vector icons.
It's worth watching the tutorials at - http://www.vectric.com/WebSite/Vectr..._tutorials.htm
