Functionality updates
• Duplicate Geometry Detection
When overlapping geometries are present in files, usually files with vectorial graphics, issues can arise during tool pathing and G-code output. A new function has been added to detect duplicate geometries that overlap.
Detect Duplicates function in the Draw Menu and its settings window
When such geometries are detected, users have the option to select, delete, or move them to a new layer for better control and organization.
Detect Duplicates follow-up actions selections
• Configurable "No-Travel Zones"
Users can now define “no-travel zones" on the sheet by drawing geometries and marking them accordingly. This feature prevents tool movement through these restricted areas. During output generation, EnRoute will automatically divert any movement that would otherwise pass through these zones.

• EnRoute Installer Improvements
The EnRoute installer has been enhanced to preserve user configurations during updates. If users overwrite an existing installation, their setup and configuration files will remain intact, ensuring a seamless upgrade experience.
• Open Offset Path Improvement: Subtract Tool Radius from Start and End
When applying the open offset tool path, users can now opt to subtract the tool radius at the start and end of the path. This ensures that the resulting cut length matches the exact length of the geometry displayed on screen.

• No-Lift Tool Pathing with 3D Line Entry
The no-lift tool pathing feature has been improved to support scenarios where a 3D line entry is set. This feature will work seamlessly as long as the entry angle is set to 0.
Standard lift:
The tool lifts between every pass
No lift with Standard option:
The plunge’s start point will dynamically move along with the tool path between passes.
No lift with Align option:
The plunge will maintain the same XY coordinates for each pass by reversing to the original entry start point without lifting
• Importing Multiple Files Simultaneously
Multiple files can now be selected in the Import UI. Moreover, in the EnRoute preferences, users can configure how multi-file imports are handled:
• Files can be automatically placed next to one another with a defined gap.
• Files can be visually placed using the left mouse button for precise positioning.
• Sub path Ordering in Output
A new option for ordering sub paths has been added to the G1 output window. This allows users to break up tool path groups and organize them before proceeding with the ordering process, enabling more efficient output management.
• Back-up option
Users can now create back-ups via the help menu.
New Back up option available under the Help menu
By default the back-up will be saved in the ProgramData folder on the C driver.
Select the location of Backup through settings
Loading a back-up can be done via the load settings option.
Multiple backups can be maintained and used to restore the software to a previous state
• Perspective View: Zoom Improvement
Zooming in and out in the perspective view now functions based on the location of the mouse cursor, aligning with the behavior of other views for a more intuitive user experience.
Fixed Bugs
• Trim tool incorrectly recognizing boundaries, and redrawing lines
• Drawing line with Snap arc to tangent and snap two arc tangents – resulting line does not touch the geometry
• Enroute 24 does not maintain the ordering when you go from Simulate 2D or simulate ortho to Manual ordering
• When a final pass is set to 0 with no lift toolpath, it causes lift in Z on last pass
• Clicking on order sub-paths button causes visual glitch with numbers.
• ATP: Print out of parts is repeated for each generated file/plate
• ATP - double sided processing: flip side is looped over countless times
• Spiral fill custom center incorrect range
• Adaptive spiral fill doesn't generate tool paths when Optimization is set to None
• Editing of the entry / exit not working correctly when the tool path has certain Z dept
