    Default VCarvePro 8 ! :)

    Downloading the brand new VCP 8 as I type
    Should be REALLY interesting!
    Got an E-mail into Shopbot asking how it applies to our 2 "Shopbot Editions"
    Time to play and see what they've come up with

    Wow, LOTS of new and useful features. Obviously also lots of opportunities to make mistakes

    Problem at the moment with the free trial version it seems.
    Thanks Brian and Vectric. Amazing upgrade

    Doesn't appear to be available yet to shopbot users, I attempted to see if there was an update via the "Check for Updates" and none available. I have 7.5 from Shopbot.

    It's not provided as an update via the Check for Update mechanism. It's a complete new program that is installed from scratch. As far as I know the Shopbot versions haven't been released yet.
    The answers to a lot of questions can be found at http://www.shopbottools.com/ShopBotDocs/ or http://support.vectric.com/

    Got this from Shopbot today.

    "You’re going to have to wait though, as there’s a small glitch in how we can get this to our customers. Vectric has changed the way they do it and it might take a bit to get it to our customers."

    The Desktop we bought last year qualifies as a free upgrade, My personal one bought in 8/2013 does not.
    WELL worth the $175 though
    Thanks Adrian,

    I sent an email to Vectric yesterday inquiring about the availability of the ShopBot version VCarve Pro v8. Here is their reply:

    Hello Steve,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    We are still working on the update to VCarve Pro - ShopBot Edition and ShopBot will make an announcement when this version is ready.
    This should be with in the next two weeks.

    I hope that this helps.

    Regards,
    Mark.


    So, it is getting close!

    Get Aspire 8, don't walk RUN to your nearest browser and go get your upgrade, it is worth the cost for the clip art alone! If you are using VCarve Pro, consider Aspire! It's the only software that does a CNC machine justice.

    Sorry to sound like a commercial, but this is one of the best releases ever.
