  • Added 3D Morph strategy.
  • Added WCS Probe strategy.
  • Added support for optional toolpath for Haas UMC-750 post.
  • Notes can now be saved and retrived as part of operation template. #3509
  • Support Inventor 2017. #3437
  • Added alternate flanking feature for turning threading. This feature will give more even utilization of both sides of the thread insert for longer tool life.
  • Updated UI translations.
  • Expand "Ramp" group by default. #3644
  • Turning: Show model profile outline.
  • The "Minimum cutting radius" parameter box is now located higher up in the the Command Page. #3326
  • The Tool Library now preserves the expansion state for folders. #3305
  • Fixed occasional crash during chaining. #3664
  • Fix toolpath preview after release the Pattern browser node. #3656
  • Fixed wrong Chamfer Mill Tool profile. #3490
  • Fixed issue with "Select same diameter" for conical holes on opposite sides of the model. #3449
  • Fix pattern previewing only first operation in the folder. Also fix nested pattern previewing. #1812
  • Fixed potential error when editing an operation with sketch selection. #3387
  • Fixed potential wrong validation error for derived operations. #2264
  • Fixed issue where an operation could be edited even when it was marked as 'protected'. #2698
  • Mills with Taper Angle can now be used with the "To Chamfer Width" and "To Chamfer Diameter" height modes in Drilling. #3320
  • Fixed issue with the High Feed Mapping dropdown list not updating in the Post Processing dialog. #3172

Changes to toolpath generation

  • Improved toolpath generation time for leads in Adaptive Clearing. This improvement can reduce the generation significantly when the toolpath has a lot of lead moves. #3538
  • Fixed generation failure for Adaptive Clearing. #3325
  • Fixed wrong toolpath issue for turning Grooving. #2586
  • Fixed potential hang issue for Adaptive Clearing. #3367
  • Changed the behavior of the retract to home position to keep the tool away from the rotary axis when doing ID turning. #2393
  • Fixed generating failure for Adaptive Clearing. #3445
  • Fixed lead issue for Adaptive Clearing. #3501
  • Fixed very tiny gouges that could happened for Spiral. #3512
  • Fixed potential toolpath generation failure. #3560
  • Fixed long retract along Z-axis for turning when moving to home position. #3391
  • Fixed too long retract to the home position for turning ID grooving. #3335

Changes to post processor
