## [It's Time to Update to Mastercam 2023!](https://blog.caminstructor.com/its-time-to-update-to-mastercam-2023)

A very big update has been put out for Mastercam 2023. It's now time to update!

---

All software have bugs. Games, web browsers, CAM software, your email app, heck even your OS. So, it shouldn't be surprising when you come across one. The best you can do is pass on the bug you found to your software developer and hope they deem your bug as an important one to fix. If you're the only one to report a specific bug, it might not get a lot of attention right away. This is the reason I always tell people who complain about software issues to pass that info along to the developers. They can't fix what they don't know is broke! And if enough users are experiencing the same problem, things can often get patched very quickly!

This happens to be the case here with this issue. I don't have accurate records but I don't remember an Update 1 coming out this quickly before. Mastercam heard the requests to fix this issue and they are pushing this fix out rather quickly. From my initial testing, it looks like we are back on track with no lingering issues. 

If this stock plane issue has been holding you back from updating to Mastercam 2023, I suggest giving it a look again and making use of the other updates that Mastercam 2023 has to offer.
