HSMWorks2017-R3.41577 - Feb 15, 2017
New in this version
- Added support for thread mill when using thread mill cycle in Drilling strategy. #6479
- Added support for tube stock in Job.
- Fixed issue where model analysis could fail if model has a bad (degenerate) face for drilling. #6146
- Updated list of Solidworks commands that don't need geometry analysis when closed.
- Toolpath preview is correct now for patterns with large toolpath. #6159
- Fixed wrong calculation of minimum and maximum radial extents for Tube Stock. #6335
- Fixed issue with wrong default parameter for Secondary Spindle Chuck, causing the height plane to be offset. #6172
- Fixed potential failure when using store as template. #5918
Changes to toolpath generation
- Fixed wrong feed for finishing pass for Turning Profile when using no drag feature. #6440
- Fixed retract below clearance radius for ID machining using Turning Profile. #6395
- Fixed potential generation failure for Adaptive Clearing for narrow pockets. #5998
- Fixed wrong linking for 2D Contour. #3672
- Fixed generation failure for Adaptive Clearing. #5954
- Fixed wrong retract for Adaptive Clearing. #3251
- Fixed fragmented finishing path issue for Turning Profile. #5744
- Fixed lead-out outside of allowed area for Turning Profile. #5726
Changes to post processor
- Added support for subprograms for Fanuc post.
- Added support for IJK when using G73/G83 for Fadal post.
- Added support for IJK when using G73/G83 for next generation HAAS post.
- Added property 'writeCuttingModes' to output colors used for laser cutting for Universal Laser DXF post.
- Added support for IJK when using G73/G83 for HAAS post.
- General improvements and simplification of HAAS DS-30y post.
- Major update of multi-axis support for HURCO post.
- Added support for controlling G61/G64 smoothing using property 'useSmoothing' for UCCNC post.
- Added more information for circular moves for Dump post.
- Improved rotary axis clamp handling for HAAS posts.
- Turn off coolant on tool change for Mitsubishi turning post.
- Added warning when using work offset 0 with non-zero work offsets at the same time for common ISO posts.
- Only allow up to 90deg sweeps for G2/G3 moves when using R-word (radius) instead of IJK-words (center) to avoid problems on some CNCs where the center could potentially drift significantly for a correct NC program and hence result in wrong machining. The problem can be exposed when cutting around 180deg arcs on some CNCs. If a particular CNC does not have a such a problem the post can be customized to allow bigger arcs. IJK-mode remains unchanged and is recommended over using R-word.
- Added spindle stop and M0 at tool change for UCCNC posts.
- Changed maximum sweep to 90deg for circular motion for Datron post for improved part quality.
- Changed post to use IJK for G2/G3 instead of R for better part quality.
- Limit circular motion to maximum 90deg for improved part quality.
- Changed HAAS post to use IJK for G2/G3 instead of R for better part quality.
- Force G95 for tapping for Fanuc post.
- Updated tool definition for CAMPlete APT post.
- Updated tool support for CAMPlete APT post.
- Only output G69 when G68 is active for HAAS posts.
- Added new property 'SB3v36' to control tool changes for Shopbot OpenSBP post.
- Added 'spindleDirectionCode' property to control spindle M-codes for Shopbot ISO post.
- Fixed parametric feed support when using feed per revolution for turning posts.
- Fixed tapping support for UCCNC post.
- Fixed support for tapping cycles and dwell for UCCNC posts.
- Fixed various mill-turn issues like C-axis output for HAAS DS-30Y post.
- Fixed potential post failure for Siemens mill-turn post.
- Fixed potential error when using parametric feed.
- Fixed wrong code for Tormach Turning (Slant-PRO) post.
- Fixed inverse time support for Tormach post.
- Fixed missing G94/G95 after G96/G97 issue for Siemens mill-turn post.
- Fixed failure when using setup sheet.
- Fixed failure for driling for Fanuc turning post.
