Does this mean that it's the final version and is released to public?

No.....it "could" be if there are no issues but typically we see 2 to 3 PC's before final

In theory, yes

In reality no..

Everybody uses the software in different ways

When they release a PC, the user base gets  bigger and new problems turn up

as a bigger crop of users start using the software.

In the past PC2 and sometimes PC3 becomes the final release

Alright, so I don't do this again... what all files do I need to save so I don't have to redo all of my colors, quick access and right click menu?

You shouldn't have to

to be safe make a copy of this folder

 

"C:\Users\*** your usename here ***\Documents\my mcam2017"

 

The instructions say deleting this folder after uninstall is optional

This is where all your customization is kept and I never delete it.

It doesn't hurt to have a backup

 

"C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared Mcam2017"

 

this is where all your posts are in a default setup

I never delete this one either

Anybody have problems with verification, if use a segment?

I can't find "Analyze Position" in MC2017... did they remove it?

Idk, I always just use entity properties.
