I just got a notice about 10.5. Some interesting new things, especially being able to toolpath a thread. Not sure how I'd use it since only gigantic threads could be cut with a CNC but it's nice to have it available.

IF a major portion of your work is Pocket Toolpath with a Start Depth.....Wait a bit for next Patch.....Start Depth Bug DOUBLES the Start Depth at this moment in time.
DO be aware that the 10.5* is NOT a Patch....and is treated like an Install.....In Portal....I THINK(?) all you need to download is the "Installer" NOT all the other ones
(besides the Big 30mb 10.5* itself).
NOT sure if any freebies in Aspire need downloading though
I won't install 10.5* until the next Patch(soon) until Pocket bug is fixed, but you still need to do the 10.5* VCP install before you can do the patch!
Best to keep current on the Vectric Forum for your product!
Good thing I have 2 new beaver kits learning to swim and chew bark....and twin fawns learning to walk in water to throw coyote off trail...keeps me from meltdown looking out back door
(And a young otter with no manners at All.....He and male beaver protecting the kits are going to have a SERIOUS DISCUSSION some day soon on how close he fishes to their den
Keeps the BP down

OK....VCP 10.503 Patch has fixed a few problems including the Pocketing problem I mentioned.
Here are some of the improvements;

You STILL have to download 10.5* and the installer from your portal....and THEN Patch it like the last 2(?) VCP *.5** s.
Thanks Jerry
Yep, First Beavers didn't start the dam in 2008 early enough, and was so shallow it froze solid and don't think they survived that Winter as dam broke at ice out,and got fixed in 2016 by new pair.
Here it is in 2014 when the tree roots had died and it turned into a sedge meadow(That doe threw twins every year, and is the grandmother of those fawns in other pics.Almost got tame feeding in the meadow that other does didn't quite dare, and got all her younguns to put up with the weird guy in my back atrium door windows
2 different pairs of beavers since, and dam is much taller now.....GLAD I'm in a wheelchair and didn't build a basement....pond edge is only 30-35' from window...lively place
2 more does are pregnant...and 2 beaver kits are now allowed out of den under supervision and when light is too low for pics....
one of them doesn't like the water and has to get dragged in
MUCH prefer it now!!
