Just wanted to tell all who have a Mat Maestro or imat that a new software has been released.
So far so good. We have tested it all morning and all corners appear to be working as well as good ovals. It also came with a excellent users manual. All of you M/M and imat users might want to get the update.
You will be very pleased with this new software. Sure beats getting a new CMC!Or using it for an expensive doorstop! The price for the software was 299.00

I just got the new software today. I've been using a beta version of 2.0 so the changes aren't quite as extensive as from 1.7. I haven't thoroughly tested it yet but there are some problems that I've already found. Under corner editor, corner C047 has length numbers reversed (L6 and L2, L3 and L5). Corner C044 is deformed when applied to a mat opening; one of the curves doesn't end in the right place. In corner C032, the curve is supposed to be toward the outside of the mat but when applied, it curves in the opposite direction. The general objection I have with the matsoft software is that not enough of the lines in most designs are changeable. All too often we're stuck with someone else's idea of what makes a mat look good; and these people don't cut mats for a living. The manual is improved but could do a much better job of explaining the settings and how to use them to fix problems.
