Now I went back to give v3 a try again and sure enough problems!
When the cutter gets to perforations instead of the usual straight perforation lines (going smoothly in one direction) it now goes back and forth to each line one notch/dot at a time!!??
No matter what I do I cannot get it to cut along the one line at a time.
Any ideas anyone?

I noticed this happening when WWG changed their line styles. If you set a line style to be a dashed line and set its cut mode to perforate, it is going to perforate along the dashed line, not the solid line. I found that this makes smaller perforations, but it also had the tendency for whatever algorithm optimizes the movement of the cutter to hop around between two perforation lines that were somewhat close to each other.
That was my experience, at least.
I don't think I have seen that problem for perf lines where the line style was an actual solid line.

I think I might go with a Circut or something when my Portrait eventually dies. Im Okay with v3 for the most part these days, but In the past when I have had issues with the software, their tech support basically tells me there are no problems, and everything is working correctly. Then they fix the problems in a later patch. Its kind of insulting.

I didn't think Cricut made a cutter that has an optical scanner. As far as I know, the only real option is a Silhouette. Has that changed? Which model are you thinking about that can replace a Silhouette?

Apparently , the new Cricut Explore series has a design and print ability like the Silhouette. Looks like they finally got smart and added an optical scanner, the registration marks look similar to Silhouette Cameo ones in this video: youtu.be/8RBM1TUNzuY

Well, I didn't do any reasearch or anything on the matter. If Silhouette is the only way to go, then so be it. Im just not happy with the company, and would pick something else if I had the option. Im not going to get anything until my portrait stops working anyway, and who knows when that will be.

I'm glad to see Cricut getting into the space. If nothing else, competition may improve quality of service?

That's what I thought, it will put pressure on Silhouette to make sure their software is up to par.. Both companies will have to be at the top of their game, hardware and software wise otherwise they'll lose business...
