Carveco Release Notes
Here at Carveco, we take the Continuous Delivery approach to software development. This means that we aim to develop and release regular updates, enhancements, new features and bug fixes as soon as they’re tested and ready – for every Carveco product.
All our work on each software update we release is outlined below.
Carveco V1.57 – Release Notes
Enhancements
- Undo and Redo Transform Shortcuts: You can now use the standard Ctrl+Z (Undo) and Ctrl+Y (Redo) shortcuts within the Transform Tool to quickly reverse or retry your changes. (All variants)
- SVG Import: When importing SVG files (Scalable Vector Graphics), the units used in the originating software are now preserved, where possible. This means that you will no longer have to resize the vectors to restore the original size of the design. Please note: this only applies with the Options panel’s Auto-resize vector artwork after import check box is deselected. (All variants)
- Easier Relief Scaling: The Scale Relief tool displays two arrows in the 3D view that enable you to modify the scale height and detail height. These are now easier to distinguish, making adjustments faster and more intuitive. (All variants)
- Improved Activation Feedback: Updated error messages make it easier to identify and resolve any issues encountered while activating the software. (All variants)
- Clearer Machine Relief Error Message: When adding ramps to a Machine Relief toolpath, an error is displayed if an unsuitable angle is specified. This message has been improved to offer a clearer explanation as to why the software cannot calculate your toolpath. (All variants)
Fixes
- Project Tree Slowdown: Selecting the Simulation item in the Project Tree could result in the software being briefly unresponsive when there is a large library of simulation materials. This has been optimized to remove any delay. (All variants)
- Mesh Preview: When using Create Triangle Mesh in v1.56, the mesh preview was incorrectly displayed using the standard relief material, making it hard to distinguish from your model. The usual blue preview material has now been restored. (All variants)
- Activation Errors: The header of the table displaying available licenses no longer obscures error messages displayed while activating the software. (All variants)
- Autosave: During the autosave process, an error message stating “The specified path does not exist” would sometimes be displayed. This occurred due to the loss of the temporary autosave files. These files will now be restored when necessary, eliminating the error and ensuring you can recover your work. (All variants)

How do i download software updates?
From Carveco 1.16 onwards (all products) we added the ability for the software to notify users of any updates that become available. Please click the link from the start page of your software to download any new releases.
Alternatively, any previous Carveco emails that contain a software download link – for example a previous update notification – will automatically direct you to the latest version available hosted on sendowl.com (our software fulfilment provider).
I’ve missed a few updates… Do I need to go back and install each one?
Don’t worry – regardless of whether you’re upgrading from a much older version, or the previous release, you only need to install the latest update to ensure your Carveco product is up to date. Additionally, your unique SendOwl download link (even from previous emails) will always show you the most recent Carveco update available.
