Never let common sense get in the way of a fight. Buy that guy some shots and tell him his girlfriends kinda fat.
You said in new update 19.3...Drs don't have dental manager as labs do. So a dr will never ever see that icon unless they have their own design software and in that case they would be designing their own.
Im using 19.3 and was doing the beta before the official release i don't see anything Full Contour on and toolbar, please show in pics. Honestly it isn't a huge deal, not like they are forcing you to send design to them, just a interface to quickly get cases to FC most likely. But in reality how cares!
This is true.Dentists are gobbling up new equipment faster than you realize.
Once again someone who skims instead of reading, yes in my original post if you connect with a manufacturer you probably will get a portal put on your toolbar. We have placed our own internal portals on the toolbar. FYI....More outsource portals you have up there the less work you are actually producing. The "whats new" says nothing about having to install a separate DME to get the FC portal, just says its there. Heck Beta testers might not even get it, how do you beta test a direct link, pretty sure 1 guy/gal needs to test that one? You can say I'm crying all you want, but humans and especially dr.s can be super lazy and take the easy route.WOW for reals? Do you know how any of this works? This is NOT a default option i have 19.3 installed at home AND at work neither of them have this. This are installed when you install the FullContour DME. AND YES Argen has it, they show up once you install their DME! These are quick launch icons simply linked to their web location. I create one for straumann so I could open straumanns webshop. Stop crying cause it is not by default or I would have it. Here is my home install of 19.3.

So if your client has a button on their homepage that connects to a design service that does about 98%(probably more now(only things non-digital in our office is same day flipper, add to, and traditional relines(yes you can do digital relines)) of the dental products you produce and inside that portal once its designed they can have it sent to manufacture(Argen and Straumann which you have portals for are there) that's conveniently located within that portal, how much work do you think you could possibly lose out on? Since you have portals on your toolbar, I know you're not listed as manufacture in FC. Albeit maybe people don't get that portal installed when they update their 3shape system but do you really want to roll the dice that everyone has got all the equipment they need and won't be buying anything new which could have that preinstalled?
You can also take the stance that FC design work sucks and you have nothing to worry because your designs are soo much better. Well, people have been making that statement for DECADES about Glidewell, and what I guess they don't exist anymore? It's about convenience, and you as an owner if you are one, have been given a direct disadvantage. I don't care what lab you are C&B, Denture, Ortho, Full service, this does affect you and is only a starting point what could come
We have exocad as well, but we have too many trios clients to abandon 3shape so im not sure how it will help.

I've checked on several 19.3 installations. It is not a default option.
Some people are so busy they seek help with certain things like crown designs and need that to be integrated into their workflow as conveniently as possible. Some consider that a tool and some consider it a weapon. So goes the coachman into battle with the motor.
