Vectric Version 10

[tri4sale]

Anyone take the plunge yet and upgrade to V10?

Any thoughts on it?

[knight_toolworks]

debating on it. smart folders may be what I am after if I don't have to jump through folders every time I save a file or a tool path.

My VCarve Pro does not indicate that there is a new version, I did the check for new version and it said that my 9.5 was up to date.
Do you have to manually get the upgrade from Vectric?

It hasn't been released yet.

Edited....Take that back, it just landed!

Didn't know if you guys were talking Aspire or VCP.
Bought and downloaded VCP10 yesterday.....There IS no Shopbot Edition VCP anymore....so cost is expensive($500USD+tax)
You get it through your Vectric Portal, just like Shopbot Edition9.
If you haven't had to register through the Shopbot Portal for VCP9, do it here;
https://portal.vectric.com/shopbot/register

Steep price, but slightly ameliorated by a choice of several D&M picks, and one of your choice is free($55)....and the fact that PhotoVCarve is now included in the toolpath
Other pluses (OH in this one it says VCP has a texture fill....mistake no texture clipart in VCP) does have some new 2D clipart such as profiles for Moulding toolpath, and some games;

Because it doesn't recognize Shopbot Edition versions....IF you have one(I had VCP9.518) then the "Migrate"function doesn't pop up like it did going from VCP8 to 9.
Thumbdrive or cloud of your latest Tool Database is needed.

Haven't really had time to go over it, as it's only on this tower at present....AND I had a VERY pleasant surprise visit for a couple hours today in my shop from a MAX owner from KY.
NICE way to break up a day!!!
Hope this is a help to anybody.

I got a email earlier about the upgrade but just now I got an email saying I am eligible for a free upgrade but the site does not show it is free. I did the last upgrade on 7/19/07 I think.

I just upgraded to Aspire 10. Haven't loaded the program yet but I did pay and receive a key to unlock it.

It's never free to upgrade to a major version (like 9.5 - 10). You get free updates within that major release though.

Steve,
Looks like Vectric mucked up on some e-mail notices;

yes, from the website.

Sad that they discontinued the SB version and are making people fork over a big chunk of change to upgrade... I thought the only difference was the lack of other post processors.

[knight_toolworks]

ya I figured that.
