Ben S 0 Posted November 2, 2022 I've been running vinyl master cut v4 for 5 years on my Titan 2 machine. I see that v5 is out, but it looks like the vectorize feature doesn't exist anymore? There's so many versions and the pages don't really explain what they come with very well. I do need vectorize, and don't want to "upgrade" only to find features missing.

slice&dice 2,450 Posted November 2, 2022 A robust 'vector engine' is included with all versions of VinylMaster. In fact, although I don't use VM as the default design/cut application with my USCUTTER machine (SC2) there have been plenty of instances when I needed a raster graphic to be converted into paths, and VM does it really well. (Inkscape also provides a convert-to-path function, but the one in VM is just so easy and clean, it's my go-to when SignBlazer chokes on the vectorize effort). Where did you see information that the v5 upgrade has eliminated the vectorization scheme? I find it hard to believe that critical element would be removed from VM, even at the 'CUT' (lowest) level program. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben S 0 Posted November 2, 2022 On this page, it says LTR includes vectorizer https://uscutter.vinylmaster.software/products/cut/#compare On this page however, it shows vectorizer as only being included with PRO and DSR https://uscutter.vinylmaster.software/tools-features And yes, as you said, it is a critical element, and was included in v4, so I'm not sure why they'd remove it and also ask for money to upgrade to a version with less features. I was about to pay $30 to upgrade, but now that's not happening until I know I'm not getting a downgrade Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted November 2, 2022 Yes, I see that comparison chart shows the vectorize only for the two higher levels. Strange, because we have that feature now in all versions. Best thing is to contact Future Corp. directly and see what they have to say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
