False advertising, it's not free if you have to buy something else to get it. 😡
$22 is not free.
Thank you Garrett for this timely video! You not only made me aware of this update but reminded me how to download it. Windows is not helpful when it places the update shield in the taskbar rather than a pop up on the screen. Your instructions about how to turn the draw curves tool on and off by tapping S while using the line/poly line tool clear up something that is not obvious since it is no longer available on the creat vectors menu. Great teaching as usual Garrett!
donaldbecker4642, You're very welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful in navigating the recent update. It's always a pleasure to share tips and tricks that make woodworking projects easier for everyone.
Thank you Garrett for getting that curve thing "straightened" out 🙃😂
billymcgee5987, You're welcome! I'm glad I could help you on this one brother!
Tks garrett I'm glad vetric is so responsive to us customers. Just did the upgrade
samspade2519, That's great to hear! Vectric does a great job at keeping their software user-friendly and responsive to customer feedback. Enjoy the upgrade!
It's almost like magic. Very useful tool and helps eliminate much node editing
bubba6945, I'm glad you're enjoying the CNC machine! It truly does make woodworking a lot more efficient and precise.
I'm happy that you are happy about the curve tool put back into the program. I'm sure it is a very helpful tool to you and many more users. Great going Vectric, you made Garrett very happy. :)
richardwilliams5520, Thanks for the positive feedback! The curve tool is definitely a valuable feature for CNC woodworking projects. Glad to hear you're happy with it too.
This is the sort of thing that I would NEVER find on my own. Thanks for sharing.
user-qx4yb9kn6h, You're welcome! I'm glad you found the information helpful. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.
This is very good news. I was scared to up grade to V12 due to it not having draw curves. Great video, very helpful as usual.
AveryBooth-tf5ni, I'm glad you found the video helpful! Don't worry, V12 is still a great upgrade despite not having draw curves. It's important to weigh the pros and cons before deciding to upgrade.
Thank you for this information. I had 12.007 but didn't know about the hitting S to get it to go into the draw curve mode. While I can see some advantage to this, and it does the same thing as 11, I wish they had made the change originally and made it clear what the change was. I can see that it is described in the function, but after using Aspire for many years, I don't tend to read that material now, as I didn't expect a function to change it's actual operation!! Nevertheless, I'm glad it is back, as I use it all the time!!
RelayerBob, You're welcome! It's great to hear that the tip about hitting S to go into draw curve mode was helpful to you. It's always interesting to discover new functionalities in familiar software, and I'm glad you found it useful for your projects. Happy woodworking!
Thanks Garrett, been waiting for them to put draw curves back.
rolandjohnson732, You're welcome! Draw curves can be really handy for certain projects. Enjoy using them!
rolandjohnson732, Glad to hear you're happy about the curves feature being added back! It's a handy tool for creating intricate designs.
Thanks for sharing this update Garrett!
Davesshoppe, You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Draw curves is back!
keithsyler3784, I'm so glad you're excited about Draw Curves being back! Can't wait to see what projects you'll create using it.
Thanks for the update!
kevinrich4637, You're welcome, happy to share my progress with you!
Thanks Garrett🎉
RussellBailey-fd8dx, You're welcome! Happy to help!
Garrett your the Man
MrBwest9376, Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoy my work.
This is great, so its basically operates a bit like the b-Spline pen mode (basic spline) in Inkscape - and not like the bezier tool, which let's face it is not easy to use, especially for detailed work.
kickpublishing, Yes, CNC wood routers can operate similarly to the basic spline mode in Inkscape, providing smooth curves with precision. The process is more intuitive and can be easier to use for detailed woodworking projects compared to the bezier tool.
Thank you sr for the video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
RAcreativewoodworks, You're welcome! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video.
Cheers!!!
tigg6689, Cheers to you too! Keep creating and enjoying woodworking!
Thanks Garrett! Great news!
JNewellworks, You're welcome! Glad to hear it!
Garrett, it's been back for a week or two...where have you been??
Hey bro. Been busy making a video about it 😃
Does this update count toward our one free update?
garydube3627, I recommend reaching out to Vectric directly for this one. Here's the link to their contact page →www.vectric.com/support. They should be able to give you a little more guidance than I can here.
🌵🙏🌵
williamcovell6324, glad you liked this one brother!
As always, thanks for the video and excellent lesson! Because I am new to Vectric and started with V12, I have no experience with the draw curves tool. While researching the issue, I came across this video: ua-cam.com/video/2QIZ9U708WM/v-deo.html
I think it's a must watch for anyone wanting to learn bitmap tracing... and it seems like a much better technique than draw curves because it doesn't introduce as many nodes. But again, I don't know what I'm talking about yet so..... LOL
michaelbeckwith977, You're welcome! It's great that you're exploring different techniques for bitmap tracing in Vectric. The video you shared looks like it offers valuable insights into the process. Keep experimenting and you'll find what works best for you as you get more comfortable with the software!
Nine minutes on how to update software? Really?
Yes. Really.
EXACTLY!!
💯% AGREE!!
I worked in IT support…I tell you seriously, there are people out there who could screw that up after watching it 20 times. 🤦🏻
