Velocity 5, When?

[frogier]

I did download it from MegaUpload: above. I am using in right now.

I downloaded the Student version to play around with it at home and I found out that they still haven't fixed the drilling problem. Like when you have a bunch of holes at different depths and it doesn't remember the last tool you used, it just resorts to using the default drill, which in our case is a spot drill. It wasn't always like this. Or am I having an old timers event and not seeing a dialogue option for changing that?

Excel,

Go into :
Tools
Option
NC Defaults
and change the 2nd square check mark to save last tool used and it will work the way you remember.

Thanks for the reply, mine must be bugged though. I tried that, even restarted Surfcam and it still does it. We are running the latest V5, even tried the older V4 B248. For a test, we drew 3 points anywhere. Picked 1 point, picked a .062 drill, did a drill cycle, accepted it. Picked another point, picked drilling cycle and it reverted to the default spot drill again, not the tool we just used, the .062 drill. So WTH is going on?

Has anyone received V5 in the form of a CD/DVD from Surfware? If so, what build is it?
I downloaded what I thought was B177 but my “about Surfcam” screen says B176. The bar across the top of the screen says B177. Is this just one more minor bug in a program full of bugs in this release?

No CD/DVD yet and we are in Southern California so it can't be the slow mail.

I just got an email from UPS with the tracking # for V5 SP1. Should see it on Friday the 16th.

Received a DVD in the mail today. It was build 177 so didn’t need to install it. I was hoping that a new version was coming that would fix some obvious bugs in build 177. I guess we’ll have to wait another 6 months again to see any updates.

I recently downloaded the student version and can not seem to be able to get the tool verification to work. It must be some simple thing I am missing.
Any thoughts?

I draw a rectangle, single-chain-auto, pick side but get a "Sorry, Cant' Create For Opening Stream.
