I like the update actually. Just a bug or two and seems like they’re sorting it out quickly. So far 7.0.4 seems stable for me.

Well, after accidentally installing 7.0.1 (apparently when I was first alerted that there was an update), and then installing 7.0.5 over it, I’ve had a couple of crashes (a couple were the crappy Intel display driver that SheetCam never did like) and a few others that weren’t clear what was the cause. I finally was able to try out a couple of my older design files and SheetCam did NOT present these in a way that was appropriate (the contours were displaced from where they’re supposed to be).
Net: I’ve uninstalled V7.0 and reinstalled 6.0.30 and will stay here for a while.

i updated the other day and my toolset disappeared but i just loaded an old job with my updated tools and then did a save default toolset and everything was back. liking it so far but havent put a lot of time into it yet.
I’m seeing a new update out this morning. Have not indulged as yet though!
Yeah, this is what I would classify as “Yet Another Update”. Seems as if they’re having some SW stability issues. I’m sticking with V6 until they can go a few months before updates.

Living on the edge! …Well, I gave it a shot. So far so good, no craziness going on.
Here’s info from their site:
What’s new in SheetCAM TNG 7.0.6
March 19, 2021
Fixed: Names from menus such as move to layer end up in shortcut keys.
Changed: move to layer etc added to shortcut keys. These pop up a sub menu with the layer/part selections.
Fixed: Loading a part can leave other parts selected
Changed: Sliders such as corner threshold now show the value
Fixed: Arc matching making huge circles (hopefuly I actually got it this time)
Changed: Better circle detection when arc matching.
Fixed: Input boxes not selecting when you click on them
Added: 'Set part position' option in nesting (sets focus to part position X box)
Fixed: Shape plugin missing translation in dropdown boxes
Fixed: Not loading wxWidgets translation files
Fixed: Not translating unitsi like that you can center pierce holes under a given size rather than trying to adjust the lead in arc for each hole size… has made my round holes much better.

Hahaha! 
Nah - they’re waiting on us to tell them. lol
So, when I open SheetCam 7.0.6 it offers to update to 7.0.7, if I say yes, it starts to do it’s thing and then informs “another copy of SheetCam is running…” and I need to close it and try again. There is no other copy running! 
UPDATE:
After the fourth attempt, I rebooted the computer, tried again and it updated to 7.0.7
So, are you guys saying that I should be using sheet cam? How much does this coast? And can a beginner jump right in and learn how to use it? Started out trying to learn fusion, but ran out of free time and don’t want to buy something I couldn’t figure out to save my life. Can ya help out an old guy? Please!!
I’m a big fan of Inkscape & Sheetcam. Inkscape for drawing or modifying files (free) and Sheetcam for defining the toolpaths & generating the G-Code. Sheetcam is $140 from Langmuir for a lifetime subscription. Sheetcam is very easy to learn and makes nice clean G-Code.

Thanks for the info. I’ve had my table for awhile now and have cut a lot of art work off langmuir page, but would really like to get busy making some parts. 
YES, it does! 
As you can see, I’ve decided to be the guinea pig and install all the updates coming out and report here.
