Changelog


5.0.30
  • Improved setup for thread standards. Selecting a thread spec now show an expanded window with tolarance table of Major,Pitch and Minor diameters (max/min)
  • Added more thread standards, Knuckle Threads (DIN20400/DIN405), Trapezoidal (DIN30295) and Buttress (BS1657/DIN513/ANSI B1.9)
  • The thread calculators for all the included standards have a realtime graphic preview of the profile (w zoom/pan)

5.0.28
  • Added support for custom entry and retract, lets you guide the threading tool to its destination surface with a series of points.
  • Improved setting up custom stock. Place points for the workpiece coordinated with mouse.
  • Added VTL configuration for NC-SIM.

5.0.26
  • Support for multiple threads per setup. Its possible to program upto 8 threads onto same workpiece. Primary useage for cable & hoist drums with multiple righthand and lefthand cable grooves.
  • Implemented a built-in helix calculator for quickly setting up helix revolutions based on centerpoints. Helpful for grooves for cable & hoist drums.
  • Support for simulating threads with variable pitch. NC-SIM picks up K value directly from G-code.
  • Fixed zoom-to-mouse in canvas.

5.0.24
  • Added collision detection in NC-SIM. Visual coloring if any rapid moves enters material.
  • Added Wave chipbreaker, applies oscillating movements for threading passes in order to break chips during machining.
  • Overall improvements, better performance and general cleanup.
  • Added Spacemouse detection in NC-SIM.

5.0.22
  • ThreadTracer NC-SIM. New G-code simulator with orthographic projection. Simulates all threads.

5.0.21
  • Better number inputs, detect , and . when using numeric keyboard, improved inline math and added support to convert numbers to metric<->inch directly in the input field. (m and i key)
  • Fixed, Surface speed and taper angle was not stored between sessions.

5.0.20
  • Fix in comment line information in G-code output when in inch mode.

5.0.19
  • added support for tapered threads, taper is set as a radial slope and not direct angle so for an NPT taper, set as 1/32 or 0,03125 = 1.7899 degrees.
  • added hotkeys F1-F8 to switch tabs, and Z key to reverse scrollwheel zoom direction.

5.0.18
  • added custom header and footer fields for ISO post processors.
  • added support for 3Dconnexion Spacemouse.

5.0.17
  • added Import of ThreadTracer settings from GibbsCAM.
  • added Adaptive Finishing with sliders for angle threshold, curve desnity and look-ahead.
  • improved finishing logic.
  • added No Drag toggle for finishing.
  • added Reverse Finish Direction for finishing.
  • added Run In and Run Out.
  • added Full Profile Exit.
  • performance speedup on rendering workscreen.

5.0.15
  • added toggle for VTL orientation (toggle between vertical and horizontal machine view).
  • fix correct RPM output in template post processor.
