I upgraded. Please tell me why I should be excited.

John, unless one of the updated or added features "floats your boat", it's not going to be making you do cartwheels. (I don't suggest them even if you feel inclined...) Some of the UI changes will take a litlte getting used to, but they've moved more toward what many graphics apps do with using a single icon for multiple operations, etc. I have not yet played with it enough to know if I'm going to benefit greatly from V12 or just a little.

That seems like an accurate assessment, Jim. I just upgraded today, and haven't seen much new besides a somewhat more confusing looking design screen and the clamp avoidance feature. Hopefully, I'll find something that justifies the cost.

There's a thread on the Vectric forum on the v12 upgrade. There's a lot of unhappy campers. I decided to stick with 10.5 for now.

I bought the upgrade from VCarvePro. Cost in Canadian dollars was just under $300. I bought now because Vectric warned that they will be increasing the price any time now. My mistake. So far, the negatives caused by the things that they took away from 11.5 outweigh the positives. That may change in time, but for right now, I'm using 11.5 most of the time. They are already up to patch 11.005, so if I wait them out, who knows what they will "fix"?

One of the most used commands for me in the previous version was using the spacebar to repeat the last vector command (was a habit when drawing a series of straight lines).
This no longer works.
Does anyone know if it was reassigned to some other hotkey?
Contributor
That was one of the first things I noticed. Hope it returns.

Be sure you post about that command change in the Vectric forum so it can be addressed by Vectric staff.

In addition to Jim's advice, be sure to write to support@vectric.com. The do reply. I wrote to them about the space bar issue, FWIW.
