Re: Counter doesn't seem to adjust with fusions

I meant in first post that x64 versions are not stable of 0.15 and 0.16 As for the counter: i delete the fusions a lot of course to be able to modify the individual objects. It is not so ergonomic to modify when they are fused. And fused objects are not easy to add a cylinder to it or something else...

Re: Making a cut of 2 shapes fails in part mode

If i delete the cut, then redo it, then without using the macro now it suddenly goes ok.

Very interesting!

Counter doesn't seem to adjust with fusions

Hello, It's not a problem here yet so this is minor issue. Yet the counter for fusions doesn't seem to reset itself, even if you rename a fusion to a different name. It always keeps on going. what happens after it hits 999, does it then continue 1000, 1001 etc? Anyway we'll find out soon enough :) W...
