just download trial version a few days ago. Although I've only been woodturning for 4 years I was 30 years in the computer business, so this seemed like a great way to automate what is for me, the painful process of planning a segmented piece. Here are my first impressions:
1) this is a big one: No undo key. So I imported a profile and then moved several lines to change the shape at the top. Opps! I goofed and that looked bad. no problem on most other software, just hit the undo key (Ctrl Z) a few times. No go. No undo key. now I have to go back and find the profile re-import and start all over again. IS there really no undo key?
2 I printed out my profile. worked great. However I'd like to print the profile. I usually tape this to the wall behind my lathe so I can visualize the form, as I am shaping the bowl. Couldn't find a way to do that. I can't draw worth a flip so this is a show stopper for me.
3) Exports to a spreadsheet are in text values. Huh? There are ways to convert within excel but lots of people have limited spreadsheet expertise.
There were a few other bugs, but i only found them trying to do something an experienced user probably wouldn't do. (trying to save a painted ring view yields an "index out of range" error message. )
Are there any answers for issues 1 and 2? perhaps I missed something.
