excellent, it seems all around to be a little zippier.

i still keep wishing that the toggle toolpaths option was back in the MOPS tab though.

I installed it today and now my toolpaths aren't displayed. Is this a setting (i tried display toolpath by levels)? This makes it nearly impossible to verify the toolpath pre-post.

[ryan]

have you checked your color settings?

another thing that has thrown me off before is that you have to select the individual ops in the simulation browser tree for them to show.

also there is the little check box to show simulation.

[seancomp]

Check box was the answer. I never noticed it before and the update must have unchecked it. Thanks

[ryan]

no problem, glad you figured it out

Will the new service release work with RhinoCam for Rhino 3.0? If not, will there be a service pack for 3.0?

[Mitch Heynick]

I'm virtually certain the new service release will not work with RhinoCAM for Rhino 3.0, the two are totally different.

I also think it unlikely that there will be a service pack for RhinoCAM for Rhino 3.0, all development has shifted to developing RhinoCAM for Rhino V4. --Mitch

No there will be no more service packs for Rhino CAM for Rhino 3.0. All future development on RhinoCAM will be only on Rhino 4.0

I updated and lost all stock types except boxs. Was this supposed to happen?
