Toolbox Release Notes | Build 23.1.0725.641

The following Release Notes apply to Toolbox build 23.1.0725.641

New Nesting Optimization Settings 

Figure 1: New nesting optimizer settings.
The nesting optimizer has 2 new settings added to it: "Best Yield Preserve Grouping" and "Favor Best Fit".
  1. "Best Yield Preserve Grouping" is essentially the new name for the existing "Best Yield" setting as it currently stands.
  2.  The existing "Best Yield" setting has been modified to include a second pass after the finished optimization to attempt to identify ways to improve yield.
  3. Within "Part Grouping", the new setting "Favor Best Fit" has been added. If enabled, this setting will feed the optimizer the parts that best fit with available open regions as optimization is performed. 
Any improvements in results with these settings will vary depending on user setup.
If one updates to this build, enables either of these settings, and then reverts to a previous Toolbox build, the processing station will not open. It is recommended to turn off these settings in a version that supports them before transitioning to any prior Toolbox version!

User Interface Fixes

  1. There was a reported issue in the global file Lookup tables that caused an error if users tried creating a new table after removing rows and deleting a previous table. This issue has been resolved.
  2. It was noted that within the wizard formula editor box, the FX function would experience an error with certain workflows. This issue has been resolved.  

Processing Station Fix  

  1. It was reported that copying processing stations would cause the station to lose its associates. This has been resolved- copying stations should no longer lose associates when copied.

Product Prompts Fix   

There was a noted issue in the registering of information between the spreadsheet and Product Prompts interface. 
  1. When the system prompt ProductAngle was entered into the prompts list of the spreadsheet, and a value was set, the value failed to register, producing no change in the angle of the product. Conversely, when the value was entered into the interface, it would populate the spreadsheet cell. This communication issue has been resolved; the prompt will now function properly both ways.
