# Fabricam software notes

English pointers from the local cncu.co.za mirror (`T:\U\C\Other-Softwares\AM.CO.ZA Fabricam CAD&CAM Sheet Metal Cutting Software`). **No pricing.** Huge MSI installers, dongle-checker EXE, library-patch EXE, customer-specific upgrade `.cut`/`.zip` license files, Reset unpacked installer tree, and foldersweb caches are **not** copied (URL + local path only). This first-deep copies the English **FABRICAM Software Manual** PDF (prefer), current **Help Document** CHM, V1.0.1.9 updates PDF prefer + DOC, Eset Nod32 false-positive how-to PDF prefer + DOCX, upgrades PDF prefer + DOCX, upgrade-videos txt, readme, version.txt, MSI-run-as-admin `.reg`, older 1.0.6.8 **HelpEnglish.chm**, and Reset **Template.pdf**. **Newer wins:** Latest/`FABRICAM Installation.msi` is **Ver 1.0.8.1** (MD5 twin); `version.txt` still says `1.0.8.0` (stale). Distinct from MetalWise FastCAM/FLCAM extras (this is the dedicated Other-Softwares Fabricam line). Related plasma/laser CAM how-tos also appear under MetalWise / RAYCUT.

The Software Manual PDF is an **MD5 twin** of the earlier am.co.za public copy `manuals/fabricam-manual.pdf` (MD5 `5D5BD3B5D611401041B6D1695E039D08`, 3803390 bytes) -- still copied into the product folder as the canonical cncu handbook. The Help CHM is an **MD5 twin** of `manuals/metalwise/software/FABRICAM-Help-Document.chm` -- copied here as the Fabricam product copy. `readme.txt` is an MD5 twin of `manuals/metalwise/software/Fabricam-readme.txt`.
