I recently emailed a VCcarve Pro file to another user. He replied that he could not open my file because I did not have the latest version. I checked Help/About and found that my version is v7.510. i also checked the Vectric site and and found that the latest version is v7.5 and had file update v7.015.
I have three questions. First. Is there an inconsistency on Vectric's Program Updates page; how can the version be V7.5 and the update file be 7.015?
Do I have the latest version?
If i do have the latest version of the software, what could cause the incompatibility that prevents the other user from opening mu file?
Thanks for your assistance.

Have you done a Check for Updates from the Help menu?

Re: VCarve Pro's latest version
Version 7.514 is the latest version. I suspect it is your friend who does not have the latest version.
Re: VCarve Pro's latest version
The update page means that the update file is to update VCarve Pro 7.015 to VCarve Pro 7.5.GrandpaB wrote:I recently emailed a VCcarve Pro file to another user.

You can always get updates for VCarve Pro by going to Help and the clicking Check For Updates; the latest version is 7.514
I hope this helps.
Re: VCarve Pro's latest version
I believe there's an issue with VCarve version tracking. I encountered it when trying to install a Gadget, which failed because it said I needed to update to the latest version. I have the latest version, but went back to VCarve anyway and let the updater to its thing, which didn't do anything because it confirmed I have the latest version.
Went back to the Gadget and it still won't install unless I update to the latest version. Round and round we go.

Re: VCarve Pro's latest version
Do you have more than one version of VCarve installed? Are you running "VCarve for ShopBot" or the retail VCarve?

Re: VCarve Pro's latest version
rl,
last "Shopbot Edition" was VCarvePro V 7.510 (Wish they had 7.514:( ),
and can be downloaded here if you are trying to update without an internet connection.
