Toolbox Release Notes | Build 24.1.0213.641

The following release notes apply to Toolbox build 24.1.0213.641

Edgeband Thickness Fix

  1. An issue was reported centered around the Edgeband thickness of products using formula driven materials from their specification groups. When products were created, then copied, then the copies had their specification group changed to one containing formula driven materials for their edgebanding, users found that the Edgeband thickness would be overridden by whichever specification group happened to have the larger Edgeband thickness. This issue has been resolved- edgeband thickness from formula driven materials should retain proper values.

Offsetpolyline Fixes

  1. Some users experienced and reported an issue with the OFFSETPOLYLINE function, namely, that the function would sometimes produce inaccurately rounded measurements based on the entered values. The results were erroneous in both Imperial and Metric configurations of the software. This issue has been resolved- OFFSETPOLYLINE should now produce accurately rounded measurements when used. 

Saw Optimization Sheet Size Fix

  1. There was an issue reported with the Saw Optimizer when assigning materials to stacks and having different sheet sizes for said material, wherein the program would process materials in a priority order different to that of the assigned priorities in the material file. It would sometimes also not use the proper amounts of sheets in the operation, due to this prioritization issue. This issue has been resolved, with material stacks retaining their proper priority order and the correct number of sheets in their operations.  

Part Thickness Fix

  1. An issue was experienced by some users utilizing a component library. This issue would occur when one attempted to process a work order containing a part of a product with only a single value entered in the Thickness column of the part’s Design Data. This would result in an error wherein the user would be informed that there were two contrasting thickness values in the part, and the work order would thus not be able to successfully be processed. This issue has been resolved- the software should now correctly apply the thickness value correctly without issue.
