To the PowerMill users on this forum, which version are you using? We're finding the latest to be problematic, so we're wondering which version people can use productively.

Do you use set-ups? Or do you make a project for each set-up? We find set-ups to be broken. Embedded patterns don't work. Drilling shows gouging and the page has to be manually reset. The show rest material display is broken. Constant Z finishing won't go past the bottom of the detail. The list goes on. Are you not seeing any of these in your version?I use the latest version with no issues.
I do not use setups, I only have one project and one setup for each core or cavity I make, in the unlikely event I do work on the backside of the block, I just have a workplane back there and it's all in one project. I also don't do any drilling, or at least for quite some time. I don't see any other issues you mention. You are somewhat new to PM correct? Switched over from something else. For embedded patterns, select the pattern AND the surface you want to embed it on, this should work. The rest material display works for me fine. Constant z won't go past the bottom of the block unless the block is extended lower.Thanks for the feedback.
