Enhancements:


NC Code Generation
The system will get the Customer Data as well as Revision Data output from Part Info, and output it to the NC Code.

Intellinest
All sheets can have the remnant cut now, after nesting.

Tool
Now shows tools with angle as a setting in the turret, regardless if the setting in Tool menu is “From Turret” or “From Tool Inventory”.
The system will retain more tools when changing the machine file.

Other
The maximum (“max”) microjoint that can be added in the system is now expanded to 250.

Fixed Issues:

Customize
The system would crash after customizing toolbars by deleting icons from Standard toolbar.

Display
When two punching machines were loaded one after the other, the Overtravel lines did not refresh until Machine Info was selected and closed.
The system should show “min dead zone” and “active station’s dead zone” when inquiring tools and viewing sequence.
The “convert dialog” display was too small.
The system would show different dimensions or parts in part mode when clicking the different part names on the part list dialog.  The part and part name on the window caption does not automatically change.
Close pull down menus would disrupt the display.

Load File
When loading Dxf, Iga, Dwg or Igs files, the system would ask the user to load sheet size and material thickness.
Dxf files loaded through the Walk-Through Wizard will have a line side problem; the part should be processed.
Added a switch to turn off the pop-up message for applying material and sheet thickness.
“Apply material thickness and sheet size” system message would appear when loading old part, dxf file, dwg files, etc.
DXF file output from the system would mistakenly create open entities.

Edit
When selecting Grid, clicking on the part and then centering Grid-X to put the part on the center of the sheet, the system  moved the part to the far right side of the sheet.
When start point moved to the part corner, prepunch would not move with the start point and stay in the original place.

Intellinest
Due to an angle placement conflict, the part did not nest with the angle set in the Part Information dialog and the parts were lost in the nesting report.
An error message appeared when the user attempted to complete nesting jobs.
