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 V1.59 – Release Notes
Enhancements
TwoTrees Machine Support
We’ve added two new post processors to support the TwoTrees 450 machine. These can be found in the Save Toolpaths dialog:
- TwoTrees 450 (mm) (*.nc)
- TwoTrees 450 (inch) (*.nc)
Centroid Machine Support
Metric versions of our Centroid post processors are now available, allowing you to run these machines in millimeters. You can find the new options in our Save Toolpaths dialog:
- Centroid MM Arcs (.cnc)
- Centroid MM Arcs ATC (.cnc)
- Centroid MM Arcs ATC coolant (*.cnc)
Improved Toolpath Error Messages
We’ve revamped our toolpath error messages to be clearer and more actionable. If there’s an issue with your vectors, you’ll now see a suggestion to use Vector Doctor, along with a link to the relevant support content, so you can quickly understand and fix the problem.
Fixes
- Vector import: Resolved an issue where switching from the 3D view to the 2D view after importing vectors caused a temporary hang.
- Save toolpaths: An intermittent crash during toolpath saving has been resolved, and will now result in an error message instead.
- Window docking: Floating windows now dock correctly when their title bar is double clicked. Previously, they could disappear offscreen.
- Relief creation tools: Additional checks have been added to our Two Rail Sweep, Extrude, Spin, and Turn tools to prevent crashes resulting from problematic vectors. (Maker+ and Carveco only)
- Extrude tool: The Extrude tool now appears correctly in the Undo menu and on the History panel. Previously, it was mislabelled as “Undo Relief Spin”. (Maker+ and Carveco only)

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.
