Hi there, Originally Posted by: krogh, michael  Question: Is the new interface similar so its easy to pick up if you are familiar with v18 ?

Last time I upgraded to v18 I remember losing a some features I previously used which seems odd in an upgrade, but was the case. Any help/guidance on deciding to upgrade is greatly appreciated. The UI is similar, but as V21 includes new features, there are new icons, tabs, etc. You can see the new features in this chart and compare with your current features.

Originally Posted by: krogh, michael I have used Punch software actively for 12 yrs and considering the upgrade to v21 from v18. However, I am concerned about learning a new interface...dont have time now to learn a new program. Punch, as any program, has a learning curve. The best way to learn the program, IMO, is practice + practice + practice => Read and follow the User Guide (this is important), see the videos => In order to get started, try to create elements or a simple plan not related with your project, so you will become familiar with the commands and how to manage the different components and solutions. If you are interested, my eBook for V21 Learning Punch! Software: Training, Tools and Tutorials for V21 for Windows includes more than 610 pages and more than 1300 color images (showing the new features, tutorials, screen guides, tables, examples, rendering results and screenshots as well as the updates), covering exclusively the new Punch! Software Version 21 for Windows. Topics and tools are linked on the screen using more than 2300 hyperlinks. Also, the purchase includes a gift => see offer hereHope this helps. |
