I have a few of the issues descibed below
I'm running 7.6 V2 pro, & expert...I was thinking about buying designer for a new staition, but not until I hear from other long time users .
I want to know if others have seen this stuff in 7.6v2 & if the same problems or new problems exist in V8
I have v8 but haven't installed it do to fear it wont be any better as past experiences have shown.
And now this seems to be well founded, as I see users of 8 are having problems. Search this forum....
On several occasions I've found it suddenly starts running extremely slow while node editing on random files. This has to be the most annoying things I've ever experienced. I'm talking 30 seconds or more for a single node command. This has happened on extremely simple graphics as well as complicated ones. It seems to be "file specific" as often it takes literally recreating the file to clear it up. On a few occasions I've seen it be related to "specific to colors" in some of flexi color palattes, but not always.
At such time other application are fine & the computers resources are fine!
In production manager while cutting vinyl, Ive had error messages that says "unnamed file or command cannot be found" only later to find out it doesnt recognise colors in the library, therefore wont cut that color.
Talk about a wild goose chase only to find out it doesn't recognise the colors in thecolor libraries installed with the software.
On numerous occasions, I've also experienced design central locking the program while trying to modify an outline or outline color. The only way to get it unfrozen is to alt tab to another application then back again & its as if nothing was ever wrong...weird!
There are 3 users in my shop & we all have found various issues with the software.
At times I've told them it was them until I experienced it for myself!
I don't understand why I pay for upgrades to a company who never addresses problems they should be well aware of after so many years!
Also why can't we add fonts on the fly (without restarting the application?.... coerl draw has done this for years? You would think "A SIGN PROGRAM WOULD ADOPT THIS FEATURE"
Sign people use FONTS....
When talking to tech support, All I'm told is I need to buy the new upgrade & everything will be fine!
I've heard this before...bought upgrades still finding previous bugs are not repaired.
I don't want to install a program that, I may find several months down the road works no better or has more problems than the current version I'm running.
Any input from experienced long time users is welcome.
Thank You
