CAMWorks for Solid Edge 2014 SP1 is now available for download!

Key improvements in this service pack of CAMWorks for Solid Edge include:

• Advanced tool selection logic: This correction will result in automatic selection of the appropriate tools for more efficient toolpaths. 

To alleviate any problems during installation:

• When installing CAMWorks for Solid Edge 2014, we recommend that users right click on the CAMWorks for Solid Edge executable and click on Run as administrator
• Some of the existing users ran into a problem with importing their existing TechDB. Instructions for importing the existing TechDB can found in Section 11 of the Installation Guide available in the Downloads Area (login required)
