      Hi Guys,

      I am looking at purchasing Sketchup Pro. I am currently using the free edition but want to make the step up to the Pro version to take advantage of some of the other features. The only question I have is, is it worth buying it now or waiting for the next release. I have a tendency to buy products only for a newer version to come out only a few weeks/months later. Does anyone know if there is to be a new release in the near future? If so i'll hold on. Also if there is, any info on new features?

      Many thanks for your help.

        Well there is certainly a version 7 in development but when it hits the shelves is anyone's guess. There has been much speculation and discussion, but Google SketchUp have done a good job at keeping people guessing πŸ˜„
        I certainly would not expect to see it for at least several months yet, but I really have no idea when.

          Just to follow up on what Dylan already have said...
          I'm sure that if the new version will get released soon, you will get a free upgrade, if you purchase now... πŸ˜‰
          If not the new version will come after 6-7 month, you should remember that the price for upgrade usually is much cheaper... πŸ˜‰
          Besides, the USD is at its lowest level at the moment, so unless you're an American citizen, you should make a good deal anyway... πŸ˜†

          Cheers

            Id have to agree with dylan, its probably not worth hanging on, youll be waiting forever.

            I imagine google will offer a discounted update to current pro users, so you cant go to wrong.
