Bug - omission of trim edges in pattern editor 1.150

[bergerud]

Where is the trim edges filter? I got excited when I saw the STL videos (#4) which showed the use of trim edges in the filter pull down menu. It is a great feature to filter those noisy imported edges. What happened? Did we get a different version than in the videos?

I believe that feature is still in internal testing. I'm not sure when it will be released.

I don't recall seeing a "trim edges" filter in the video you referred to. (I did see the use of the "round edge" tool which is part of the Pattern Editor - is that what you meant?)

In the fourth STL importer video with the car. Just before the two disjointed pieces are joined by the rectangle.

Does this mean that I was duped into buying an upgrade that had a bait-and-switch feature?

I bought the STL Importer based on the 4 tutorial videos and now I find out that the feature is not released yet.

I thought (hoped) the feature would appear when I activated the STL importer. According to the video, it was part of the "procedure".

They really should fix the import filter so that we do not get noisy boundaries that need trimming! Other programs import bitmaps without adding boundary noise.

Oh well, I am happy with the STL importer even with the "bait and switch"!

In what manual will I find the directions on Pierce?

Huh!!
A manual??
You would be better off wishing for a CW machine under your Christmas tree.
It will take them 6 months to a year (if even then) to come up with a manual to cover all the new things in 1.15.

Surley the software person(s) "documented" their work.
