Hexagon has produced a series of videos which highlights all the new features so I'll piggy back on their videos as I move through this un-boxing. The old buttons for Drawer/Roll-Out and Counter Top have been rolled up into the new Assembly Manager. Pressing the Connections button on the Construction section of the menu bar will open the new Connection Manager. The Menu bar has been reconfigured - slightly.Ĭabinet Vision 12 now features a new 'Connection Manager' and is the new button on the block. The Main menu bar has a new look with a few new buttons and a few buttons that are no longer on the bar.I'm told you can customize the home screen by applying your own image to the home screen but I haven't yet figured out how to do that. This sans-artwork design makes for a cleaner look, in my opinion. Just to add to the confusion, I'm calling this the Home screen. This redesign probably opens the door to a little confusion because with previous versions of Cabinet Vision, Hexagon/Vero/Planit referred to this main/home screen as the ' Splash' screen. The product logo splash screen has been re-designed and no longer remains as the default image on the 'home' screen.Just as a side by side comparison of CV 11 and CV 12, there are a few things that jump out. The upgrade will ask you if you'd like to include your construction methods, and material schedules and UCS's, and libraries etc. Just pay attention to the dialog box questions and select an appropriate answer. But I had no errors, no pauses or re-starts necessary. The PC I installed CV 12 onto is a basic 6 year old Windows desktop computer running Windows 10 Home. However, in my case, the upgrade went as smooth as it could have gone. If you've ever started the process of upgrading or reinstalling, you know there's potential for 'Roadwork Ahead'. I like it a lot.īut let's start at the beginning.upgrading from Cabinet Vision 11 to Cabinet Vision 12. Cabinet Vision 12 was just released by Hexagon, last month I believe.
