I thought I was the only one waiting for the cd's.
I have been trading emails with support since before Christmas and back then I was told the new cd's were based on 9.2 and would be out by the end of December. The last I heard, they were completing the packaging for them and would be out soon. Not sure what the unit of measure is for "soon" though, week?, month?, year?
And now today I get an email from support telling me that with the upcoming release of 9.2 that I should upgrade my expert license to expert plus FreeDimension. So, it looks like those of you that wanted the capability to create free-form surfaces will now be able to do that in FreeDimension then pass them on to Alibre.
I see a trend starting here, add an enhancement to Alibre and sell it as an optional add-on but don't bother to fix any of the many problems or add the internal enhancements. That way you can charge a fee for all this and not have to include it in the paid maintenance upgrades.
So, I get that bit of news but no hint of when the training cd's will be available. :?
Sorry for venting, I'm just getting tired of waiting to get what what was promised.
