CNC-Calc Changes ================ - Sometimes Contour milling wouldn't produce any toolpath if the the number of roughing steps was 0 but the Roughing Stepover was larger than the Finish Stepover. Now the Roughing Steopover is ignored if the number of roughing steps are 0. - It is still not possible to make toolpaths where the roughing stepover is larger than the finish stepover (why would anyone do that?). - When 'Use Sidecuts' are unchecked the one side cut that are made will be a finish cut. That means that the 'Compensation Type' will be used. That is also the reason that the 'Finish Overlap' is now enabled and will be used even when 'Use Sidecuts' are disabled. Changes made to CIMCO Edit version 7.00.72 ================================================================ 06/06/14 == CNC-Calc Changes ================ - Since Helix Substitution is now supported in the Post Processors (where they are pertinent) they have been removed from the parameter dialogues for the operations Pocket Milling, Contour Milling, Helix Milling and Thread Milling. - The parameter 'Stay Down Distance' has been added to the Contour Milling parameters. This parameter controls how linking is performed between exit and entry points, if the distance between the exit and entry points are longer than the stay down distance, the tool will make a retract move before moving between the two points. In order to ensure that the tool will retract you can set the Stay Down Distance to 0.0. Changes made to CIMCO Edit version 7.00.71 ================================================================ 05/06/14 == - Fixed problem with 5-Axis configuration. Changes made to CIMCO Edit version 7.00.70 ================================================================ 05/06/14 == - Fixed paste inserting extra line. - DNC-Max / MDC-Max Update.

Changes made to CIMCO Edit version 7.00.68 ================================================================ 30/05/14 == - Solid Animation (New OpenGL): Fixed problems with switching between milling and turning. - Solid Animation and Backplot: Go to first line when switching between milling and turning. CNC-Calc Changes ================ All Fanuc and Deckel Post Processors can now substitute helix movements. This is done by setting the the "useHelixLinearization" in the globals section at the start of the Post Processor. When "useHelixLinearization" is set to true all helix movements will be substituted with linear movements so the error is kept below the value set in the "helixLinearizationTolerance" variable that is also in the Globals section of the Post Processor. The default value for the substitution is false so the Post Processor by default will function as the previous versions. Changes made to CIMCO Edit version 7.00.67 ================================================================ 28/05/14 == - DNC-Max / MDC-Max Update.

The size of these line elements are configurable in the CNC-Calc setup, the finer this tolerance is set the longer the NC program will be since a fine tolerance will result in a larger number of line segments. When splines are drawn in CNC-Calc the tangency of lines and circles can be used to set the start and end conditions (tangency) of the spline. In order to use this feature turn on the 'Snap to End Poits' snap. When an endpoint of an arc or a line is selected a dialog box will open and it is now possible to select if the end conditions of the arc/line should be used to set the start or end condition of the spline.

CNC-Calc Changes ================ - Previously the "forceDecimals" flag has been used to ensure trailing zeros in the output. Now a new flag "minDecimals" has been implemented. This flag is used.to indicate the lowest number of decimals that should be shown in a decimal number. So the call: xyzFormat = createFormat({decimals: 3, minDecimals: 2}); Will output the values: 3.0 as 3.00 and 4.5 as 4.50 Changes made to CIMCO Edit version 7.00.28 ================================================================ 17/01/14 == - DNC-Max / MDC-Max Update.

CNC-Calc Changes ================ In all the post processors the assignment to the variable gFormat has been changed. This is due to a new flag in the createFormat function. The flag is the forceDelim that has the default value true. This default value makes it necessary to change the line: gFormat = createFormat({prefix: "G", decimals: 0, width: 2}); to gFormat = createFormat({prefix: "G", decimals: 0, width: 2, forceDelim:false}); If this isn't done then the G values will make a "G00" to look like "G00." with the addition of the '.' at the end- In the "Fanuc NO K.js" the drilling output has been corrected.

The new Fanuc post processor generates drilling cycles like version 6. New feature in post processor: A new configuration flag has been added in the call to the function createFormat. CNC-Calc post processors. When the forceDelim flag is set to true it ensures that a '.' is inserted at the end of the output value even if this doesn't have any decimals. "So 3.000" will be output as "3." The default value for the flag forceDelim is true but it can be changed to false in the call to createFormat as shown below: xyzFormat = createFormat({decimals: 3, forceDelim: false}); Changes made to CIMCO Edit version 7.00.25 ================================================================ 06/01/14 == - NC Functions updated: * Fixed crash with some selections. - DNC-Max / MDC-Max Update.

Solid Animation Changes ======================= - Fixed problem with regenerate solid. - Made Solid Animation (New GL) default. CNC-Calc Changes ================ In this version of CNC-Calc a change has been made to the post processors (backwards compatible). It is now possible to add 2 new functions in both milling and turning post processors: These functions are onOpen and onClose. These functions are called at the start of a program and at the end of the program. In order to make the Post Processors backward compatible post processors without these two functions will still work as they did before. If on the other hand they are added they will work as described below. They could look something like functions shown below: The onOpen is called with the variable isClipboard. This is a boolean variable that tells the post processor if the program is exported to the clipboard or the editor. When this value is saved in the onOpen function it is also possible to make the behaviour of the onClose function dependant on what kind of export operation that are performed. If a variable is used in the onOpen function like the exportToClipboard in the shown functions, please remember to define this as: var exportToClipboard; Outside the 2 functions to give it a global scope. In the 2 functions below a comment will be inserted at the start of the program to indicate if this is a clipboard or editor export. If it was an editor export the last line in the NC Program will be a M30 but if it was a clipboard export this line will be omitted. function onOpen(isClipboard){ exportToClipboard = isClipboard; if (exportToClipboard) { onComment("Exporting to Clipboard"); } else { onComment("Exporting to Editor"); } } function onClose(){ if (!exportToClipboard) { writeBlock("M30"); } } Changes made to CIMCO Edit version 7.00.04 ================================================================ 03/10/13 == - Updated help files.
