    Improvements in Winmax 8 vs 7

    Is there a list of changes? Anything good? Worth requesting an upgrade?

    Thanks, Gregor

    We just made the change. Does feel a little strange to version 7, but all good so far. Had to do a few tweaks to make it more friendly, but nothing much.
    Just discovered the polygon block today after figuring out it's new arrangement for angles whilst programing a hex in lines and arcs.
    The best bit for us so far is now the tool touch probe is stable, not missed once so far. On occasion it used to crash the software too! The tool probing setup has changed too with the option to lock operators out. Oh, and you can slow the graphics down to see what's happening.

    Yes happy so far, just need to get used to it.
