upgrading from 2019R2 to 2022

I didn't use the utility, I switched in 2021 and they didn't have it yet. Still using 2021.2.

Changing all the Xact into Geo is a pain, particularly with profiles, but some others. I used to pull whatever I wanted into a profile of a surface (planes, lines, circles, points) and then go in and say .hits[1..feature.numhits] and get all my hits.

All features in a profile must be the same type now, so this broke a lot of my output.

Same with circles/cylinders, want a 5 hole pattern, but one of them got noms from the CAD .0001" different in diameter? It won't show up as available.

Very rarely I use something like a midpoint for a rotation from a hole in an alignment, geotol says it is invalid for use as a datum.

Programming GeoTol is a MISERABLE task, I get it. It works better, so I prefer it to Xact a LOT. It is annoying to have to change programs though.

Only other thing that bothers me, while I know I shouldn't do this over such a large range, I have some programs written in 2009 and some in 2012. With 2019 I can open up any program from 4.3 or something like that. 2021 tells me to go fly a kite. Can only save as previous version back to 2015. I needed to do older once for a supplier, had to save it to 2019, open 2019, then save it as 2012 or whatever they were using. Keep 2019 somewhere.
Even if you don't have old programs, what about your customers and suppliers? Better safe than sorry and stuck with a hour long download and calling IT to install something for you so you can open this one program this one time.

I keep old versions of the DEMON and don't delete them. I've had the GeoTol training and did like what I saw and I am ready to make the jump but management is holding back until possibly after the first of the year to make the change. As of today we have 1700+ programs (we are a medical machine shop) in the working directory and another 4000+ archived (V2012 programs) that we currently don't use for production needs. We have discussed the task and know that we will have some issues that will need to taken care of on a daily basis until current working directory programming has been gone through.

I write all new product programs so once we do make the jump everything forward will be using GeoTol.
