Missing Files - X8 Lathe Professional Courseware

I've noticed that the files for download in my book I purchased are incomplete. I downloaded the files from the site http://www.emastercam.com/board/files/file/789-mastercam-x8-lathe-professional-courseware/

 

But the files Geometry.IGES , DRAWING#1.MCX-8. are absent from folder I downloaded.

 

It's really disappointing that a "Professional courseware" book is missing files needed to complete some of the lessons.

 

Another error I noticed is page #39 (Lathe Drawing # 8). The drawings dimensions are different than the "full size drawing" found in the back of the book. 

 

I don't know if Emastercam will address these issues. Probably not, now that X9 is available. But I just wanted to vent my frustrations. I'll try to remember to post anymore errors I come across in this book.

 

!UPDATE!

 

Working through the book I also just came across an error on Page #106. It tells the user to "shorten the end contour 1.0" ". This is inaccurate, if you shorten the contour an inch on the Finish Toolpath. Then the part is incomplete with stock remaining at the top of your part.
