It all depends on how you downloaded what you downloaded. Going from 11.503 to 11.504 is a patch and not a full re-install. The patch file should be accessible via the blue link in the upper right of VCarve. You can manually download the patch at this page. Just scroll down to VCarve (Pro or Desktop as applicable).

Are there proper release notes for these patches anywhere? The links for whats new and release notes in the software menu are useless. :/

What do you mean by "proper"? What extra information are you looking for over what is supplied in the What's New (don't forget all the training videos that go with a new release) and the patch/release notes?

I just upgraded to 11.504, and I have a Shopbot PRSAlpha 96x48 ATC (automatic tool changer). The software will not allow me to save a file with more than a single toolpath. What am I missing?

Check your settings at the top of the Save Toolpath dialog. You need to have it set to something other than "Selected Toolpath" as that will only save the highlighted toolpath.

I use "Visible toolpaths to one file" with my ShopBot.

Note that the visibility of toolpaths and hence which ones are put in the file is controlled by the checkboxes next to them in the list.

If you're doing all that make sure you have selected a post processor that has ATC in it's name to allow tool changing and that your tool numbers are set correctly.

I did the upgrade which went fine. Occasionally, parts of the side bars/icons do not show on the screen. if you click in the area where the icons usually are, the program seems to work.

If I shut down the program and re-start, if usually fixes the problem. Is there a known bug or could it be a config issue on my laptop?

Thanks Bruce

I have the same issue. I reported it a while ago so hopefully there will be a fix at some point.

You don't need to restart. Just click on other tab (Layers for example) and then back to the original tab and it will be refreshed. Minimising the whole program to the taskbar and bringing it back or Alt-Tabbing works as well.

I have 11.5 in the house and work in the garage off a laptop 11.015. Am I to buy another to get the same version in the garage?
TIA

Hi!,
We're approaching 7 months since 11.5 was released. The makerspace licensed folk are approaching 7 months still on v11. Are there any updates as to when we'll be getting v11.5?

We've tried that at around 3 months. "We're working on it" was the response.
