December 2013 update

Today, 12/6/2013, I asked Aspire 4.015 to check for updates.
It said it updated some data files.
Is there somewhere I can find out what was updated?

Thanks,

Re: Pesky rabbets

Yeah, drawing the toolpaths explicitly would work, but...

Re: Need help adding tool profile to Aspire tool database

Dave, if this isn't the place to ask Vectric to add undercuts, what is the appropriate place?

Re: Need help adding tool profile to Aspire tool database

I plan to use dovetails a lot. I would like to be able to see what the results will look like for nested dovetails.
Can you add dovetails to the list of enhancements?

Thanks,
