V9 training videos

Post by Desert_Woodworker »

I am looking for further training vid’s on V9. I go to help and click on, “help”, training videos- No links……..
If I am not mistaken, I remember that there were many training vid’s with the previous Aspire Trial version; I am trying find, further videos, to practice with.

Go to Youtube and type in "Vectric v9". Not sure why they are not linked to on the Vectric website.

I am sorry to report, that the YTube videos are 30 to 50 seconds, with annoying graphics and music. What I am looking for- training tutorials similar to what was offered back in 2014, while I trained with the trial V. [ remember when you could watch “many” vids yet they reserved some for when you purchased.]

Yes, this is a mini tutorial vid, but it is not a training video. Listen carefully to the vid; she says a couple of times “…. You can get more information by….” OK then when I open V9 and click “training videos” NOGO nothing.

I got an "Browse Aspire V9" icon on my desktop after downloading. After clicking it will take you to this link:

Clicking the Tutorial Video Browser link from the startup screen or the Help menu should load the "C:/Users/Public/Documents/Vectric Files/Tutorial Files/Aspire V9.0/Index.html" file into your default browser and display the current training videos.

What are you seeing when you click either of those links?

If you mean you can't find specific v9 tutorials then you need to look at the videos for any new features that you might be interested in such as the Two Sided Machining tutorial that show the new process for two sided jobs in V9.

The videos might look the same as the old V8.5 ones at first glance but if you look at them you can see the new v9 toolbar to indicate that it's v9 that is being used.

"What are you seeing when you click either of those links?" NOGO it is unresponsive. Could this be; due to it being a trial version?

The trial editions come with the same if not more videos / training data than the full edition.

Do you have this file and/or the folder containing it at all ( file:///C:/Users/Public/Documents/Vectric%20Files/Tutorial%20Files/Aspire%20Trial%20Edition%20V9.0/Index.html ) ? This is the path lead to by the links Adrian pointer out.

Could you screenshot the browser page having clicked one of those links please?

Cheers,

Mohamed

I do not or could not find this file to open and send a screenshot to you. When I open V9 trial edition; regardless if I try either "the trainging video's" upon opening or go to the "help" at the top-
Nothing

Which version of Windows are you running?

Can you confirm it's the "Tutorial Video Browser" links you're trying to open? There are no links called "training videos".

Do you have a web browser installed on the PC? The only way I can see it's not working is if you don't have a program (web browser) associated with html files.

What happens if you click on Help Contents in the Help menu? That's an html file as well so if that is the problem it shouldn't be working either.

The web browser that I am using is Google Chrome- I can use V9 Trial edition fine, except for training video and clip-art. I will be upgrading soon, but will I still have the same problem?

I would think so as the links work in the same way but just point to slightly different folders. If the Help Contents is loading fine into Google Chrome then all I can suggest is re-installing the trial in case, for some weird reason, it didn't install properly.

I install the trial of Aspire 9 onto a fresh laptop and the video links all work fine.
