And another update although it seems to be a smaller size. I'm downloading it so I'll see if it installs ok. It's v 4.0521 https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/so...egacy-software


EDITED to say they must have been in the process of uploading it because it's the right size now and installed fine

That's good Shirley it should be more helpful if there's a group of tester's

Great to know that someone we know will have a major input into future updates. A real feather in your cap Shirley. Congratulations!

Thank you Shirley looks like it's only for pc's at the moment

With all the problems that each update seems to bring the very last thing I will want is an auto update facility...I want control over when I choose to update so I can make a judgement as to wether the new version is stable enough before updating.

[DJG]

The thing about updates is someone has to download it to decide if it's worth it or if it has bug's that need to be reported and if no one wants to do that we'll never know if it's ok. I know it says it's auto update but software is set to never check so hopefully that's what it will do or rather not do.

I will check but I I don't think you can stop auto updates during the beta period.

I can't say I've ever noticed it in the other updates and as they haven't downloaded automatically so far maybe they weren't. I await their reply to you Shirley

Version 4.0.535 available now

The updates are pretty frequent now so its worth checking daily. Just keep reporting any bugs you find :-)
I really don't like the 125 pt increments on the line thickness and offset options. Makes it very difficult to fine tune your design. I also dislike the fact you can't edit your design once you are in the "send" window. You can make/release compound path etc in version 3 but not in V4 cutting options section. I note that the perforations option has gone too.
