Hopefully something good got fixed.

Looks like my issue still hasn't been fixed. Automatic boundary, when using stock in the Area roughing tool path, when set to silhouette doesn't work correctly. I have to create wireframe to get what I need in this version. Oh well....there is always 2025 (same issue is present in 2024 PB)

Submit it every day until they fix it.

I have sent it twice to my reseller. I know they have sent it up. I would think, something like a automatic containment boundary not working, would be fixed sooner rather than later. I'm sure I'm the only one that has this issue though and this is the first they are hearing of it.

Bypass your reseller when wanting stuff changed or bugs fixed. Go straight to the official forums.

Ask your reseller what the Request # they got back is. If they sent it in, there will be a request #.

Email sent...I will let you know what they say. I can email you a file directly showing the issue too if you want.

Anyone else find it way annoying that they don't include a list of shit that they fixed? Or if they do it's not easy to find.

And on that topic...doesn't "update" imply new features? I have yet to see an "update" do anything but fix bugs. I know they have changed the wording on that over the years - maintenance release (which I think actually had new features) - service pack - which sounds closer to bug fixes than anything - now "update"

There is a link to a PDF if they sent you an email.

I believe that you have to be registered on the official forum to download the PDF?

I believe every update puts a new "What's new" document (pdf) in the documentation folder...

For the record, I reached back out to my reseller. They said they may have dropped the ball on it. They would go back through their records and see. This is pretty rare, I have a very good reseller here and we have a great working relationship. I would buy any of them a beer any day.

I then sent the file directly to Dylan, and he got it sent up the chain and it now has a R# associated with it. Fingers crossed they get it sorted out before the public launch of 2024.

The ability to use more than 200 solids got fixed so there is that.
