Lucky for you, you didn't buy version 11. That was worse!
So my experience is V12 is as buggy as hell. I've now come to learn what crashes it and to make sure I save first. IS this right? No, however you are faced with the fact that if support can not replicate the issue, nothing gets changed/fixed.
I'm currently emailing them about a number of problems surrounding the drafting pallet. Things not working, copy and paste messing stuff up the list goes on. I believe they are fixing some stuff, I'm just waiting on a response to test it.

I think nothing is tested. The first release of V12 you couldn't resize the concept explorer is just went huge and filled the screen, that was an official release. Since then you just get BETA versions which for a piece of software which is sold the way it is, I don't think is right.
Have a look on here for Todds email address and drop him a line. You can send example files to them and see if that helps.

I had a numbering issue on the BOM. They couldn't replicate it. I sent in a video and files and strangely it worked fine when they tested it. So in that instance they couldn't repeat so nothing has changed.

Hi,

As a heavy user, I confirm V12 has amazing power and terrible bugs.

It can do very complex 3D operations in a few seconds, and crash any time for no visible reason.

It's too bad we don't get feedback from developers on this forum...

It seems this is the end of SharkCAD. This year no Beta for V. 13? I guess we have to wait a very long time for a better version and eternal for Multithreading and removing all slow algorithms. The Beta Sessions was always very much to short and i was everytime scared why they released a unfinished Version.

Yes, sure the will bounce forward.
I've been told that optimising part of the code for Apple M1 chip is also generating delay...

Yeah its a real shame. I've been emailing them problem after problem, they are probably sick of hearing from me.
They've just stopped responding now. Haven't heard anything for about 3 or 4 weeks.
I felt like I had to force them into fixing stuff. Having emailed them saying, seriously now, come on. People need this to work!

Now even Help/ViaCAD User Guide (Web) does not work any more.
Since a few days that gives the HTTP error: 404 Not Found!

What is going on there?

I have build 1572, PRo 12 with powerpack and are having the following issues - please comment so that I know that it is just me or otherwise:

• Copy or cut and paste does not work and just gives that error sound. I have to unselect the object, select again, copy, then paste to another layer.
  
• Performing an 'Add Solid' or 'Subtract Solid' sometimes creates a duplicate of each individual objects that was selected. Sometimes it works ok.
  
• When I click a layer in concept explorer, sometimes I need to click it twice, like I have to activate the focus on it first. I do not remember this happening from before.
  
• Using the push/pull tool turns a solid into a wireframe. Usually I have to pull it to a large enough distance value then push it back to the smaller shifted position.
  

thanks

Yep I've had all these things. Reported most of it, got ignored.
I'd download the latest build, links on this forum somewhere. The double clicking in the concept explorer is very irritating! It still happens now, happens when you try and add a layer as well.

The extra solids were an issue some time ago, I've not had it happen recently, so the new builds may have resolved it.
I find that the more complicated the model gets, and the more parts you have the more the bugs happen
