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.

• New Chamfer Tool Type

A new Chamfer Tool type has been added to the following tool pathing algorithms:

• Pocketing (Island, Hatch, …)
• Threading
• Routing Offsets

. Chamfer type selection in the hatch fill tool path settings

Using conic tools, users can now easily remove sharp edges or add a larger chamfer by selecting this new tool type.

Key details:

• Minimum depths must be set to achieve specific chamfer widths.
• Depth can be increased beyond the minimum to avoid cutting with the tool tip and instead engaging the material edge with the side of the bit

. Chamfer width setting under the hatch cut parameters

Ball nose tools can also be selected to remove burs for smoother results and to avoid the need for additional processing.
 

• Final Pass Feed Rate for Bridge Cut-Off

The Final Pass Feed Rate now also applies to the Automatic Bridge Cut-Off option.

• This feed rate determines how quickly the bridges are milled away at the end of the job.
• If no final feed rate is specified, the system will fall back to the default feed rate.

• Labels remain available after the ATP process 

When jobs are processed with ATP, labels now remain linked to the toolpathed parts. This means that if a user manually re-nests parts and re-outputs using G1, EnRoute will regenerate the labels to match the updated G-code. The result is that labels are always correctly positioned, with no risk of mismatches between parts on the sheet and their labels.

When outputting with G1 on an ATP-generated EnRoute file that includes label information, users will see a prompt asking whether they want to output the labels as well. The link between parts and labels will remain active until EnRoute is closed.

• Engrave option to ensure bi-directional cutting 

A new checkbox allows users to enforce bi-directional toolpathing when engraving. Even when a single tool pass is sufficient to clear the material, the tool will also cut in the opposite direction. This ensures consistent cut quality on both sides of the engraved path, resulting in smoother edges and a more uniform finish.

For design and positioning, users can simply select an object and move or copy it to another side. The object will automatically be repositioned and reoriented to match the selected face.

Contextual menu with Move. Copy & switch plane.

 

When working with imported geometries, objects may already be in the correct position but need to be assigned to the appropriate side. For such cases, users can simply switch the plane — this will assign the geometry without altering its position.

Setting up aggregates is straightforward:

• Assign tools to a slot that matches the aggregate configuration.

• Enter offsets if required.

• Click Save to confirm.

Aggregate library menu

When outputting a prepared job, EnRoute will now automatically select the appropriate aggregates when available.
