Parts cut in version 19

[Arch]

Is anyone making anything in version 19 yet. I'm thinking about upgrading from 17 but haven't really heard any reviews about 19 yet. Just wondering if anyone is doing any 3d parts yet. Or anything, of any kind in 19.

Hi there,
I'm in the same shoes, have downloaded 19 and tinkering around with it but I think,
you are very limited, to what you can do with solids. But then, I'm not an Expert!
Bobcad phoned me twice, and they are really "Pushy" to sell it!

But in the meantime I have to deal with my new V 18, I have installed a month ago.
I couldn't get it registered yet,the number they gave me didn't work. I found out later that you have
to put your numbers in, while bobcad is "open" This I couldn't do because I have 18 installed at home,
where they couldn't reach me.

I don't know the next step!
I have E mailed 2 more times with no response.

One thing about V19 demo I really like is, you can Import DXF Files from Bobcad support Forum,
it automatically comes up in your Demo.

Konrad,
If you are having difficulty registering your software, just give me a call at 877-262-2231 ext. 12. We'll get you set up. Sales guys are just doing their jobs.

Thanks CNC dude,
Everything is fine with V 18. I have registered successfully, after I tried 1 - 800 number.

Let's her from the Experts, what are doing Parts with V 19. [Solids]
How does the Solids compare, with some other higher ends software like ONE, Mastercam etc.

Hi, Just me again!
I can't open the Select Entities toolbar, like single, chain, region on window,even tough I have activated all of them in Environment settings. V 18
Did I forget something??
Thanks
Konrad

Hi Konrad,
If you have the selection toolbar option selected in the Environment settings, it should be there docked on the far left wall of the screen. Check those settings for me and let me know if the problem still exists.

Please don't compare Version 19 to MasterCAM. That would not be fair. We are working to add functions and modeling options at this time for all V19 customers. This will definately narrow the gap but we are not MasterCAM. It is just a matter of time and money actually, before we are on the same page. I don't know of anyone named "one."
Sincerely,
CNC dude

Thanks for the data mitch. Anyway, back to Konrad, look for some new functionality for the Version 19 in the coming months.

Howdy Paul, what's happening man. Time and money.......... At this point, money is good. It's really more like time. We'll get there. I always try to be real with manufacturers that I talk to. We would really like to add a load of new functions for the woodworking industry to tell you the truth. There are so many cabinet makers and sign makers out there that already have earlier versions of BobCAD, we would like to get them some nice functionality that would help them too.

Hi CNC dude,
Yes, It's like I said, I have all the Toolbar selected in the Environment settings and nothing appears on screen!
I don't have that problem in V 17 and Demo 19.

Konrad,
It is possible that the toolbar is not docked but is behind your taskbar. Lower your taskbar and see if this is the case. I don't know why this was happening.
