Re: Giving up on Vector CADCAM .. alternatives?

> There are nearly 100 pages of new documentation for Vector 12, these have been posted on the Vector user forum for several months. Much of that documentation has been written in a tutorial fashion, rather than as purely technical written descriptions.

Thank you for this.

Can you give me directions to these docs?

Last I looked, I didn't find any "Learning Vector 12" (or 11) information, only "here's what's new" or very specific "here's how you do this now" instructions. These are probably great for someone who's been using Vector from its earliest days but of no real use to me as a new user.

The only "Learning Vector" information I've found was for (what I assume is) an earlier version that's just different enough from the current version to limit the usefulness.

I bought the 3D extensions for Vector because I want to start doing 3D things, not just 2.5D, so none of the alternate programs seem to be an option.
