Functionality updates
Multi-face job
Users can now choose the multi-face job type, in addition to the standard and double-sided type.
This new job type enables more efficient machining on systems equipped with aggregate tools or side milling motors.
Plate definition with added job type
Additional views have been added to support design and toolpath creation on each side of the material.
View selection by right clicking the active view
Drawing, editing, and toolpathing on each side of the material are now fully supported, along with most other EnRoute functionality.
Perspective view of multi-face job
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.
Aggregate setup window when creating output
Before generating the output, as always, make sure that the tools are in the correct location in the tool changer.
