Hi svg,
on the 0.17xxx version of FreeCAD is all 2 or 3 days, sometimes more often, a update with some changes. How fast it comes to the repo of your operating system is part of the maintainer of this repo... ;)
I think sliptonic, the guy who's making the most development, is using always a little newer version... ;) ;)

Hello!
I try more settings and see if i select EndMill type of a cutting tool no libarea generated path.
If i select Drill tool i have path only if tool diameter less that radial size of a pocket.

P.S. Can i realize pocket cutting like on this video (see from 1:50 timing)

Hello!
I'm not programmer and not have compiling skill.
I use only compiled releases downloaded from official GitHub place.
Will wait for resolving problem in newest published releases :)

What version you use?
While I can't say for sure what version he is using, I would suspect that it is the latest development code. It looks like the window$ version is lagging behind at the moment. Looks like 52 commits behind. Sense these development binaries are compiled by volunteers, it may be a few days until the next build is uploaded. I suspect that new libs are needed to be built for the window$ libpack due to recent changes before a new FreeCAD version can be built. These things are not at all the easiest tasks to accomplish on that OS. The Mac version and as always the Linux versions are up to date if you have a machine with one of those OS's around.

I jump between a couple different machines in the house, shop, and at work. This one is built from Master but isn't even very current. I can't stress enough the importance of deleting and recreating your Path project when diagnosing bugs.

Yea, Netgen is kicking my ass.
I would note however that there haven't been any PathWB related commits to master since the last build, so we should listen to what Sliptonic is trying to tell us.

libarea is included in the FreeCad source, and therefore in the dev-builds, since 0.16 release on both Ubuntu and win. OpenCamLib is an unmet dependency that needs to be compiled and installed separately. I think OCL is only needed for surfacing?
