The software developer told us that his fee was between 12-$14,000 USD and we would receive free updates for 24 month's after our machine was installed after which their could be upgrade fees associated with new features.

TODAY WE HAVE NO SOFTWARE AND HAVE HAD NO ACCEPTABLE CONTACT BY AKU. WE CONTACTED THEM VIA FORM ON THEIR SUPPORT SITE AND GOT NO RESPONSE. I GOT A CALL AFTER I STARTED THIS POST BUT REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT. SOME OF THE POST HAVE BEEN DELETED AND REPLACED BY SHORT SHOUT OUTS WHICH ARE A RECORD OF THE EMOTION ONE GOES THROUGH WHEN YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO KEEP YOUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS PREDICTABLE.ĪT THIS POINT WE NEED DOCUMENTATION NOT VERBAL AGREEMENTS. THEIR IS A POSSIBLE PRIVACY ISSUE THAT WE HAVE ASSEMBLED A VOLUNTARY TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS TO INVESTIGATE. WE PLAN ON POSTING OUR FINDINGS ON THIS FORUM AND WILL USE AN OUTSIDER TO PREPARE THE DOC'S. WE WANT THE TRUTH IN REGARDS TO THE RISK OF USING THE SOFTWARE. IF THEIR IS NO RISK I WOULD EXPECT THE AKU TEAM TO RESPOND. WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A GOOD EXPLANATION FROM AKU/APS AS TO HOW EXACTLY THE SOFTWARE WORKS AND WHAT WEAK SECURITY LINKS IT MAY HAVE IF ANY. RIGHT NOW I CANNOT UNINSTALL THE PROGRAM. IT IS FORCING ME TO CONTACT AKU FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTION WHICH COULD PUT US AT FURTHER RISK>. He has really taken care of me and even been kind of like a mentor in some ways. I handshape everything I do & only mess around in my garage.so I dont see the benefit of this program anymore, even tho I really like it. AKU makes you purchase a membership to save any of your designs now. I really value the experience of all you guys that have been doing this much longer than I have. So I just got a new computer and Im looking to download some shaping software. I feel very fortunate.īoth of Mikes machines are very cool. I got to help him figure out a couple of issues we were having(he did most of the figuring lol)Ĭutting one of my designs. Slices can be EXPORTED from anywhere on a design and IMPORTED anywhere into a new design.One of the issues was a mistake I made in the program. Notice the V tail block from the shortboard was imported into the 9'6' longboard. Place the old Slice anywhere into your new design:īEFORE (9'6' Longboard with flat tail block):ĪFTER (Importing a 6'5' tail block with deep V into a 9'6' Longboard): Import the old Slice by doing a File -> Import SliceĪfter you click 'Import Slice' you will receive the following dialogue box on where to add the imported Slice: Open the new shape you wish to Import the Slice into: SLC File somewhere safe (like your desktop.) Select the Slice you wish to export and Do a File -> Export to export the rail profile. Importing slices is an extremely effective tool for taking the rail profile of an existing shape and combining it with a new design.įirst begin by opening a shape with the slice profiles you wish to Export. The software will auto adjust the dimensions.

Combine shortboard profiles with longboard shapes.

Importing/Exporting Rocker profiles can be done using any size shape. Open the new file (.PRO) you want to import the rocker profile into.īEFORE: (6'0 Shortboard) - Importing a 9'6 rocker profile.ĪFTER: (Importing a 9'6 rocker profile) Notice the original rocker profile in light grey
