Inventor HSM 2017 4.1.0.022 - Jun 28, 2016

New in this version

  • Added option to open the Online Post Library from the post dialog menu.
  • Added short description, vendor, and long description for the post selection tool tip. The long description is now also shown for the properties.
  • Added Turkish translation.
  • Prevent out of memory issue when using Simulate by hard limiting toolpath expanded for drilling cycles. Simulate will fail rather than using up all memory. #4408
  • Renamed "Morphing" to "Morph" and "Projection" to "Project" for consistency with other strategies.
  • On model change, operation generation should be aborted. #3225
  • Fix for Simulating or posting when selecting root / document node causes pattern source to be repeated #4437
  • Fixed issue where Scallop could fail to generate when using a tapered tool. #4381
  • Fix operations that did not get aborted when changing the Setup. #3225
  • Fixed potential crash when simulating milling toolpath in Stock Simulation. #4386
  • Ramp height in 2D Adaptive incorrectly calculated when 'stock to leave' is used. #1681
  • Fixed "keep original" parameter in nested patterns. #4242
  • Fixed missing highlighting when high feed or no-engagement moves cause collisions in Simulate. #4362
  • Fixed deleting a pattern object leaves visual tool path. #4095
  • Fixed wrong stock simulation issue when using dual spindle turning. #3620
  • Fixed potential crash when using Spun Profile for mill/turn parts.
  • Fix crash in Inventor when select pattern with suppress operations. #4195
  • Fixed problem with the single groove operation that did not work for ID. #4151

Changes to toolpath generation

  • Improved progress support for Adaptive Clearing. #3215
  • Improved stay down linking for Contour.
  • Fixed wrong toolpath issue for Slot. #1505
  • Fixed potential gouge when ramping for Contour. #3523
  • Fixed potential linking gouge when using tapered tool. #3522
  • Fixed gouge on the rotary axis for ID profile turning. #3803
  • Fixed a rare gouge when using smooth transition linking. #3944
  • Fixed potential shaft or holder collision for Contour. #3893
  • Fixed potential generation failure for Adaptive Clearing. #3450
  • Fixed an issue where linking moves for 3D strategies in very rare cases could gouge the part with less than 2 times the tolerance. #4074
  • Fixed potential generation failure when doing undercut milling for Contour. #4189
  • Fixed wrong retract motion issue for Turning when moving to home position. #4127
  • Fixed wrong toolpath issue when minimum cutting radius for 2D Contour for 180 degree arcs. #4191
  • Fixed wrong retract motion for Adaptive Clearing. #4253
  • Fixed wrong linking issue for 2D Chamfer. #3671
  • Fixed an issue where in very rare cases a wrong arc could be output for toolpath generation. #4002

Changes to post processor

  • Added support for multi-axis simultaneous toolpath for generic Heidenhain 407 post.
  • Improved coolant handling for generic Haas milling posts.
  • Added support for dust collector for generic CNC Router Parts post.
  • Fixed repositionToCycleClearance() which could reposition to undesired position. This would in general happen more likely for inch mode rather than for metric mode. #4213
  • Fixed failure for generic Multicam HPGL post.
  • Added C9 macro call at tool change for generic Shopbot posts.
  • Fixed multi-axis support for generic Shopbot posts.
  • Fixed order of M3/M4 and S-word for the generic TinyG post.
