But the way I see it... it would be like if adobe charged me for photoshop and I was limited to importing only one graphic file UNLESS I purchased their proprietary graphic file.

I dunno, I am an owner of Aspire and I have not thought about how much I like the limitation put on VCarve, frankly, I never think about it at all.
but I'll be the first to say it IS NOT a reason for me to sink a couple of grand into a program just for that.
So, your need is not that great, that is probably why you did not shell out several grand in the first place, right? So now you hit a limitation and it is making you unhappy.
If Vcarve didn't allow any import before v9, then I would also think it is a great addition to the features. Remember, we are talking about IMPORTING 3D models... not creating them. But I suppose we can agree to disagree... and lastly, some of the responders should re-read your reply. I don't think you would use the same tone in the real world. I just asked a simple question.
Perhaps you should re-read what you wrote, you did not just ask a simple question. Your tone was that Vectric is in the business of ripping users off because of limitations on various versions of software. You are discovering that Vectric has a very loyal user base and the reason for that is simple: Vectric provides a good product at a reasonable price.

I tried that and when I imported the .obj... vcarve would only pull in the far left graphic only. It had 3 different graphic items. Perhaps I did something wrong in Photoshop and I will play with it. It is rather intensive since rendering takes quite some time.
Appreciate the few other responses... some a bit snobbish... Michael's explanation was pretty thorough... But the way I see it... it would be like if adobe charged me for photoshop and I was limited to importing only one graphic file UNLESS I purchased their proprietary graphic file. Many other graphics programs apply. I am also aware that the market for 2d vs 3d CNC CAD programs are very limited. I would also think that owners of Aspire like the limitation... but I'll be the first to say it IS NOT a reason for me to sink a couple of grand into a program just for that.
