You gotta love the coloured display when simulating. Just remember to set the colour and save it when choosing your tools.
The contoured re-machining is going to be very useful too.

Got some extra info about the 4.3 release.
Always climb milling in last step of contouring (smooth contour surfaces), better linking of Z-steps, smooth cornering is now even smoother, more dialog/functions in remachining.
Me like.

Hi Svenakela,
The guys here are asking what's new in 4.3. Some things are obvious (as mentioned above), but I wonder if there is a comprehensive list available? I know which items that I was working on with Joakim, but I'm sure I'm not the only one giving suggestions and feedback. There is probably functionality added that I'm not aware of, but could prove useful.
Do you have a list like that? If not, I'll see if Joakim does.
Thanks,
Dan

It would be scary if Joakim didn't have it. Don't you think?
I don't have a complete list, I could ask for it though. I know there are a bunch of fixes as well, these are written on the blog:
Bug fixes :
Planar contour re-machining:
The toolpath wasn't smooth in some cases. This is fixed now.
Small cutters on large parts:
It was a problem in some cases when using very small cutters on relatively large parts.
This is fixed now.
I saw those comments on the blog, but that's 10 months old!
Joakim is going to update his web-site very soon with more information on 4.3. Then he is going to devote all his attention to version 5. Can't wait to see that!

I'll call him tomorrow.
Joakim knows about this thread, but he's busy coding next generation. That's my kind of prioritizing.
Watch for another release of 4.3 any time now. There were a couple of issues that popped up and Joakim is fixing them.

There is an Oct 20th release available now.
