Re: KOP now available for Fusion 360
Speaking of the 2017 KoP, what version of Inventor will be required to open the 2017 KoP files? Last year I had Inventor 2015 installed and the files were made with 2016 and weren't backwards...

Re: pic: 1058 Low Expectations Intake Render

Re: X-Carve Upgrades
