WARNING: Do not attempt to install this service pack on FabriWIN versions prior to 7.1. This service pack will only work with version 7.1 or later. Installing this service pack on older versions will damage the copy of FabriWIN installed on your system.

Installation instructions:

  1. Click here to download FabriWIN version 7.12.

  2. When the File Download dialog box opens, select Save this file to disk and click OK. The Save As dialog box opens.

  3. Click on the Save button. The fw712.zip is saved to your Windows Desktop by default.

  4. To uncompress this file, you can use the WinZip shareware utility. You can go to the CNET Download web site here to obtain the latest copy of WinZip.

  5. Uncompress the archive file and save the service release Cadcam.exe (and any other files in the .zip file) to a temporary folder. Do not save the service release file to your default CAD/CAM directory. You do not want to overwrite the original cadcam.exe file.

  6. Launch the Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\FabriWIN folder or your default CAD/CAM system folder.

  7. Locate the cadcam.exe file. Click the file to select (highlight) it.

  8. Select File to Rename. You can now edit the file name. Type cadcam-old.exe and press <Enter> to rename the file. Click Yes when Windows prompts you to confirm.

  9. Copy the files "cadcam.exe", "dxfigs.dll", "fwblock.exe", "msprotect.dll", "nflnest.dll", "ProtectServer.exe", and "sldworks.dll" into the C:\FabriWIN folder or your default CAD/CAM System folder. Copy the files "autounfl.exe" and "editwire.exe" into your "Unfold3d\FabriWIN" directory. If you are using the Pro-E integration, copy the "JInterfaceProE.jar" file into your "FabriWIN\lib\java" directory.


You have completed the service pack upgrade. You can now run the CAD/CAM System application. If you have any questions or encounter any problems, please contact the FabriWIN technical support staff.

Issues Fixed in Version 7.12

  • Resolved the problem of requiring a user to exit FabriWIN to free up the IntelliNest license. 

  • Now, as soon as FabriWIN is closed, the cad/cam license becomes available to another user. 

  • Same size tools being replaced on the sheet [Example: a .250Ħħ SQ replacing an assigned .250Ħħ RO]

  • Split-Sheet lines cut through internal parts for multiple-level Part-In-Part nested sheets.
