First, I did do a search on the forums for this topic and I read almost all of the replies. I have read the s/w overviews. I just read on the site about sign making near the bottom of this page: https://www.vectric.com/applications/signmaking.html'The other Vectric products and the Desktop editions do not have specific relevance to sign makers but may be useful for other tasks on your Router.'
So, what benefit, other than maximum part size of 24'x24, of Pro vs. Desktop when it comes to sign making? In fact, from the comparison sheet and the table on the website, I just don't get the difference for the price difference. Here is more of what I read: - Work on parts larger than 24'x24' (600mm x 600mm)
True Shape Nesting for material optimization
Toolpath Templates
Merge Toolpaths
Array Copy Toolpath
Job Setup Sheets - I think I have those in Desktop
Gadget (scripting) support
Rotary Axis (Wrapping)
Vcarve Pro V9 5.1
Vcarve Pro 9
I am trying to streamline my process and any help anyone is willing to share would be very much appreciated.
