Okay; did a search for this issue and it did come up, but on the Mac Forum, where it had been erroneously posted. So first, the problem:
Fin 25/Win10(Anniversary Update.)
Fin25 has full functionality EXCEPT when I try to print a part: NO parts show in the printing dialog window. The files are all (actually) there; it's just that they do NOT show up in the checkmark box, which is completely empty.
I've found contradictory suggestions. It's been recommended that I immediately INSTALL the Win10 Anniversary Update (which - IS installed - and was, via auto-updating.) The suggestion (in the Mac Forum) for this precise problem was exactly the opposite: rollback the Win10 Anniversary Update. But: THAT can only be done within 10 days of the (automatically-installed) update being made. After 10 days: sorry, you're stuck - have to live with the update. Of course, I had no idea as it wasn't until well after that update had been installed that I NEEDED to print some parts, and a few more days elapsed before I could identify the cause of the problem: this ^&#(&+"ing Win10 update!
I HAVE discovered a kludgy workaround: I kept Fin 2014.5 installed on this computer and thanks to backwards-compatibility, I open the Fin25 file(s) in Fin2014.5 and all's well; all parts show in the printing dialog window. But - why should I even bother using Fin25 at ALL now? There were no direly-needed improvements in the Fin25 upgrade, and now - if it's incompatible with Win10's latest security update, what we have here is an unnecessary program.
So NOW what? Anyone, anything to suggest?
