Functionality updates
- Rapid Texture Previewing
We have incorporated the preview option into the rapid texture function, so users no longer need to first generate the geometries, apply the tool paths, and launch the 3D rendering.
. 3D preview from within the rapid texture function
In the 3D preview tab, users can select which tool to use for previewing and use the Z adjustment slider to sink the rapid texture further into the material.
The options button brings up the rendering options.
. 3D preview rendering options
- Progressive milling refinement
Added parameters:
Step size allows you to enter a distance value per step. The overlap is then defined by the step size (and vice versa)
Clean path offset from fill allows the user to control the amount of material that is removed with the cleaning part of this tool path. Increasing this variable will push the “fill” part inward, leaving more material to be removed by the cleaning pass.
The Bi-directional checkbox removes directional constraints from the tool path’s directional variable. Instead of advancing while looping back on itself, it will now routing going back and forth between each step.
. Progressive milling advancing bi-directionally
- Preferred bridge location setting
Users have now the option to set the preferred location for bridges in a manner similar to that available for entry/exit
. Preferences options for bridge starting points
- UI update for the Part Name column of the “Parts” tab
The column now adapts to a lengthy part name by wrapping the text.
. Part Name wrapping the text to adapt for lengthy part name
Users can also manually adjust the width of the column. - Label application update
- Labelmaker: Users can now select multiple label files to send sequentially to the label printer.
. Multi-selection of label files in LabelMaker
- LabelPrinter: Users can now send labels from multiple label files to be simultaneously printed
. LabelPrinter’s ability to send multiple individual labels from various label files
- Label applications are now limited to a single instance instead of opening multiple instances.
- Labelmaker: Users can now select multiple label files to send sequentially to the label printer.
- Performance improvements
- Improved rendering speed of simulate 3D
- Improved speed of manipulating a lot of objects
- License expiry – message update
When a license has expired, users now have the option to check for license updates from the expiry message
Fixed bugs
- Labeling issue - when an image object / placeholder is rotated the background becomes black
- PDF – text import problem – dots on Ï’s are no longer square when imported
- Dragging dxf files into Enroute causes error
- Machining area XY information is output incorrectly when drills are present (not relevant to machining Gcode)
