HSMAdvisor v3.2.1.1

What’s new in this update:

  • Fixed the "invalid int32 cast" error (v3.2.1.1) 
  • Since v3.2.0 the HSMAdvisor Hook for Mastercam requires standalone HSMAdvisor installation which you can get here: https://hsmadvisor.com/Download
    Please Uninstall the older version of the HSMAdvisor Hook before installing the new one
  • Added support for Mastercam 2027
  • New integration implementation now uses the standalone HSMAdisor installation. This means you can install the hook once for each supported Mastercam version and update HSMAdvisor independently when new updates come out.

This is a big update in both the Hook and the HSMAdvisor apps, so if you notice any issues, please let us know here: https://hsmadvisor.com/help?article_id=4426_contact
