New in this version

• Added the ability to round sharp corners in a parting toolpath, specifically when edge break with a chamfer is enabled. #10109
• Added the ability to override the Safe Z from the setup dialog in each turning operation and specify an approach and retract point #10199
• Added the ability to set the Safe Z in the setup dialog with reference to the WCS origin, stock front or stock back #8661
• Added turret column to tool library #10554
• Removed unused 'fineStepdown' parameter from 3d Contour & 3d Pocket operations #10291
• Improved radius compensation for 2D Profile operations in various examples #9736
• Updated simulation to avoid some annoying false reports of collisions for multi-axis toolpath.
• Fixed potentially wrong initial tool axis for multi-axis toolpath for stock simulation.
• Fixed an issue where expressions did not persist in the Chuck Offset field in a turning / mill turn setup dialog #10694
• Fixed an issue where a Turning Part operation was not generating the correct toolpath when edge break was turned on and a round grooving tool was used #10672
• Fixed the issue where an inside threading operation in turning was allowed to end at the final toolpath Z position (unsafe) instead of at the safe Z position #10386
• Fixed a bug with a particular single groove case where an ID groove was not cutting upto the outer radius #10423
• Fixed a particular case of single groove where the ID groove was starting and ending at the Z axis instead of the clearance plane #10422
• Fixed an issue with turning Profile operations where if the "Use Fixed Lead Direction" parameter was turned off, the leads created were not at an angle with respect to the direction of the toolpath #10284
• Fixed issue where for single groove and part toolpaths, if the final peck ended exactly at the total depth of cut, an additional superfluous peck was created. #10094
• Added a new option "Selected Position(s)" for single groove operation radii parameters to allow the user to either cut to the X position of the selected position or the inner radius for outside grooving and outer radius for inside grooving. #9920
• Fixed the issue where an inside single groove was starting and ending at the center line instead of honoring the retract and clearance cylinders #10068
• Fixed the issue for Turning: Profile finishing passes where leads were not generated at an angle with respect to the toolpath direction when "Use Fixed Lead Direction" was turned off #9944
• Fixed the issue where for a grooving operation, when "allow rapid retract" was enabled with pecking, each peck was not rapiding during the retract move after each peck. #10235

Changes to toolpath generation

• Improved linking for Adaptive Clearing to avoid retracts. #9744
• Improved linking for Adaptive Clearing when using slot opening. #9702
• Fixed issue where Adaptive Clearing would not complete. #10362
• Fixed potential generation failure for turning. #10072
• Fixed generation failure for Slot. #10048
• Fixed potential failure of Adaptive Clearing on Windows when installation path contained characters not in the active codepage. #9968
• Fixed wrong toolpath for Turning Profile. #9941
• Fixed issue where shaft/holder would not pull away when using Shaft and Holder for Adaptive Clearing. #9938

Changes to post processor

• Added Section.getFinalSpindleSpeed() and Section.getFinalSpindleOn() API to get the final spindle speed state for a section.
• Added Section.getLastCycle() API to get the last cycle.
• Added Section.doesEndWithCycle() and Section.doesEndWithCycleIgnoringPositioning() API.
• Section.doesStartWithCycleIgnoringPositioning() API now ignores dwell also.
• Show required range for out of range errors for properties when post processing.
• Show range in property tool tip for all number types when post processing.
• Fixed missing use of retract feedrate for expanded break-through drilling cycle.
• Fixed issue where rapid down move to safe position was missing when expanding deep drilling and chip-breaking cycles.
• Do not do linearization around singularity during a multi-axis rewind operation for post processor.
• Fixed issue where rotary axis was not output at a rapid move for multi-axis toolpath.
• Fixed wrong stop-spindle state for cycles.
• Fixed undesired spindle reverse at final point for tapping cycle.
• Fixed issue with warnings when expanding cycle.
• Fixed support for spindle speed when expanding cycle.
