i have a lot of clients that i have trained that have added them over the last few yrs with varying degrees of success... i would really challenge anyone that is going to add one to really think about what they will use it for because i have seen some alterations made that really make no sense to me.
nice work

As a number of our Beta testers are posting examples of the new wrapped output from Aspire I thought I had better explain just a little. As has been mentioned on the Vectric forum we have been looking at adding support for 'wrapping' the toolpath output from Aspire and VCarve Pro / PartWorks. For those going to one of the Vectric user groups, we will be showing a brief demonstration during one of Tony's presentations.
The next release of Aspire supports wrapping of toolpaths on output and can also show the 'wrapped' toolpaths inside the program to help with visualisation. We are also supplying a number of 'Gadgets' which are simple add on programs to simplify some of the more common tasks such as initial layout, rounding of square stock, laying out spiral ropes / barley twists and flutes etc.
We hope to have this update of Aspire out before Christmas and will also be working to have the VCarve Pro and PartWorks update out soon after the Aspire release.
The update will be called Aspire 2.5 and will be free to existing users. The VCarve Pro / Partworks update will also be free to users of the current versions (V5 of VCarve Pro and the equivalent PartWorks version).
We also have some other neat stuff for people who don't have indexers!

i attended the dallas user group last weekend, the fellows from vectric have produced a disk that has identified many of the learning curve isses and put them in laymens terms, the disk also has presentations on advanced 3d modeling and signmaking techniques.
the new release is expected before christmas and at this point i am sooo glad that there is software i did not buy
i also agree with dan, history and cost of software has worked against those who have had rotary indexers, i have seen and used this first hand and been with the beta team on this software, things are going to change.

greg did this with a file converter during the beta testing, cnc wrapper is a simple program for those who may have struggles with older programs.
aspire/vcarve has this built in along with "gadgets" that aloow for alot of other really cool functions
