Toolbox Release Notes | Build 23.1.0706.641

The following Release Notes apply to Toolbox build 23.1.0706.641

Machine Cannot Offset Routing Fixes

A number of issues have been reported involving the MCOR setting and certain routes to fail while using the new offset algorithm:

Figure 1: MCOR vector drop machining error.

Figure 2: MCOR vector drop fix.

  1. When running with MCOR, stay-down and tabs enabled, vectors would sometimes be dropped on machine points. This issue has been addressed and resolved.
  1. With MCOR and stay-down enabled, using the 901 tool as one's default router would fail to create certain border routes. Border routes should now be unaffected by this specific combination.
Figure 3: Machine points with arcs error.
  1. MCOR and stay-down enabled with "Refine Offset Paths" would cause machining errors with certain machine points that contained arcs.
Figure 4: Stay-down notch Destroy Offal error.
Figure 5: Stay-down notch Destroy Offal fixed.

  1. Stay-down with notches equal in width to bit diameter would result in "Destroy Offal" failing. 
  2. True Shape being enabled simultaneously with MCOR and IRIB would lead to poor optimization. 
  3. Spreadsheet tool files previously functioned differently, but will now treat MCOR the same as IPP. 

Biesse IPP Tool File Fixes

A prominent issue that has resulted in a number of smaller issues with Biesse IPP Tool files has been resolved:

Figure 6: Biesse IPP Z 0 error.

Figure 7: Biesse IPP Z 0 error fixed.
  1. The last Z move of a pocket changed from a 0. This caused the bulge to be incorrectly positioned. If using incremental step tools, this change in Z value would sometimes cause the tool to penetrate the spoil board too much. This issue has been resolved.

Figure 8: Pockets ramping vectors error.
  1. An issue wherein pockets would ramp vectors incorrectly, causing incorrectly machined parts has been resolved.
