The symptoms you are describing are exactly those that would be the case if you had the Fin12 version of Patterson Plugins installed in the 14.5 plugin folder. Please double check. The 14.5 version comes in an archive called "Fin14Mac.zip" or "Fin14Win.zip". The mac versions are roughly twice as bi

I downloaded the official Fin14.5 for Mac, and I feel that a warning is in order. If you don't have to upgrade to El Capitan, I would hold off.

If you do go back to Fin14, it's worth remembering that you can fire up Fin14.5 at any time and work on the same file without conversion. You may want to consider doing this when you get to preparing linked parts. Fin14.5 has some crucial bug fixes in that area. On Wed, Nov 18, 2015 at 3:39 PM, Ra
