madCAM 4.3 beta release

[Toolrunner]

I see on www.madcamcnc.com/news.html that the 4.3 beta is available for download (from the new-look website).

Looks like 5-axis is getting some new features.
What's new in 4.3 for the 4-axis version?

Check this out. Multiple colours in the simulation.

We have recently updated the news list on madCAM news so it is now a bit clearer what's new in each version, Entry-level, Four-axis or Expert-level.

Sorry ppl. Just sending a hello in swedish...

Hah. Född i Roma klosterförsamling jag med och precis utbildat mig inom CNC.... Flyttade dock därifrån när jag var 4 (1975)
Sjukt kul att se utveckling "hemifrån". Jobbar som programmerare själv i 16 år.. men nu har jag en praktikplats på Wipro i östersund.

Ville bara säga hej.

I just downloaded this 4.3 version. I previously had a paid version of 4.2.

I don't think this 4.3 automatically installed over 4.2 like the downloading instructions said.

I've also looked when Rhyno is loaded in toolbar to verify which version of Madcam is running.. can't find a way to verify what version is running. Most programs if you click on the help it lets you know?

Type: madcamcommand then press enter. Then type version.

A message box will pop up with the version displayed.

Thanks Dan, it comes up as 4.3 beta.. then underneath that 4.2 SR3.

When I watch the vids of 4.3 it looks to have an icon I don't have in toolbar between post and options..a endmill icon

[Dan B]

That's the same message I get. As for the missing icon, I saw that too when I first loaded the beta. Don't worry, there isn't anything hooked up to that new button yet so you're not missing anything yet. I use my own custom madCAM toolbar so I don't have the default one displayed. I looked for it just to take another look at that icon, but I can't find it.
