How many people are using 6.8 ?
I am surprised that there are relatively few posts about this new version.
Either nobody is using it or there are very few bugs...
I still have not received this version.
How is 6.8 ? Are you using it ?

I got to install v6.8 yesterday.
I played with it a bit, and I liked the sketcher. The adding of constraints is very nice, it seems to offer more choice than in the core program.
One thing though: if you create construction lines in the sketcher, you cannot re-use them in the main design. The sketcher seems to be semi-independent for producing specific profiles, although you can still see the construction lines and driving dimensions in the main design if you display invisible entities.
That's odd.
I haven't had much time to explore anything else.
The software comes with a nice 91 pages manual, 45 of which pertains to added features in TopSolidDESIGN and TopFOLD. The rest covers EDM, CAM, WOOD, etc. There is a very decent tutorial for the sketcher.

I 'scrapped' the contrains out of my brain when I switched from Inventor to Top.JFA wrote: I played with it a bit, and I liked the sketcher. The adding of constraints is very nice, it seems to offer more choice than in the core program.
With constraining back, Top has the same functionality as most drafting programs.
In the new sketcher I miss only the chamfer function .
