    The auto toolpath regen function is a time saver ( I still note the file sz. Before the # crunch) and the fact 2022 didn't screw me over in all the things / paths I use Im impressed enough to pay maintenance for another go round.

    The other programmer here picks the whole solid as well.... I lived through the " Dr. Watson" days where you had to pick each surface sometimes to see which one was crashing the system and had to be recreated so MC could crunch it lol
