Thanks for the information Randall. Other than checking for updates using the Help Menu in the software is there a place online or a way to get emails sent to us for the Upgrades and Bug Fixes for the Revisions of Verision 9 Aspire ? This is such a great Forum and it is helping me a lot. Thanks for any information and have a great day/night.

Cheers - Fred Grover

Aspire will tell you when there's an update, in the upper right corner of the screen. And it's a link, so you just have to click it to start the update.

Thank you ger21 for the quick reply. Much appreciated. Hve a great day/night.

I still have a dogbone fillet challenge for you clever Aspire programmers to work on. On outside (larger than 90 degree) corners the dogbone fillet greatly overdraws what it needs to.

In the case I show in the file attached I want to make a small pocket for a 1/4-20 hex nut to drop into. The blue line is the nut outline. The black line is that same outline with 1/16" radius dogbone fillets applied to each corner. The red outline is what would have been the most efficient (minimum) amount of dogbone to apply. I had to manually free and move and trim/extend each dogbone to create the red outline. Seems as though this expensive software should be able to handle it right on its own.

Where's the patch file for download? All that is on the portal is V9013 total install. Really don't care to do that!

[Adrian]

If the machine is on the net it's downloaded from the Help menu or by clicking the notification in the top right. For offline PC's the updates are here - http://www.vectric.com/support/program-updates.html - but 9.013 doesn't appear to be there yet.

You can copy the patch file from the Aspire program files folder from a PC that has updated across the net though.

[Fred Grover]

Well Adrian beat me to it as I was just going to say the same thing to Larry Badgett on that. I just updated yesterday and with the link Adrian Provided for the Program Updates I hope to see Vectric get on the ball and add those to keep it more up to date. Thanks for sharing Adrian and everyone have a great day/night.

Cheers - Fred.

Thanks Adrian I'd forgotten about getting it out off the program folder!
