Toolbox Release Notes | Build 24.1.0328.641
The following release notes apply to Toolbox Build 24.1.0328.641
Fillet Token Fixes
Issues were discovered in the use of fillet tokens on products that also had the IRIB setting enabled:
- Some users processed work orders with rounded parts, which should have circular borders. It was found that these products would instead be processed with only semi-circular borders and then abrupt, erroneous square borders. This issue has been resolved- rounded parts should no longer have issues forming proper borders when IRIB is enabled.
- There were reported issues with 3D representation on products that contained fillet tokens, with IRIB enabled. The product would have extra material panels that protruded through the borders of the product. This issue has been resolved- fillet tokens should now no longer create extra materials or have issues clipping through 3D representations.
2 Radius Route Fix
- Parts or products with 2 routes in an overlapping radius were found to sometimes have an issue that led to an incorrect shape, namely with the bulge of the line being nested or represented incorrectly. This issue has been resolved- routes that overlap should no longer have this issue with correct curvature.
Part Curvature Fix
- There was a reported issue the IRIB setting as it was applied to parts with curves on their edges or in their shape. When the part was processed with IRIB enabled, it was sometimes the case that the curves would disappear and be replaced with straight lines. This issue has been resolved- parts with curved borders should no longer have those borders regressing to straight ones.
Vertical and Horizontal Drilling Fixes
- There was a reported issue within some files that utilize Toolbox’s post processor, wherein some files that were put through the post processor and imported into other programs were found to have code that incorrectly placed certain aspects (such as horizontal drilling being on the opposite side of the CAM of a part). This issue has been resolved- the post processor should no longer have this issue and horizontal drilling placement should be on the correct side relative to the CAM of a part.
- An issue has been reported by users, wherein vertical drilling on Vitap horizontal boring machines would have incorrectly coded edge attachment, with the vertical drilling on the top-to-bottom edge of the part being coded to attach in the wrong region. This issue has been resolved- vertical drilling should now have no issues regarding placement on Vitap horizontal boring machines.
Material XData Fix
- An issue was reported wherein materials processed would emerge from the work order with the material XData not present in the file name. This issue has been resolved- XData should now appear in file names.
Flex Store Update
- Within IPP settings of Toolfiles, a new output option has been added to the dropdown menu of Material Management, an option to output to a Flexstore .CSV file.
Session Check-in/Check-out Fixes
- A few issues related to FLA checkouts and checkout timer have been resolved.
- An issue with FLA session check-ins and checkouts not updating to reflect the status of an active session has been resolved.
- An issue wherein FLA sessions that have device operation interrupted before the session end would display negative time values rather than check out has been resolved.
- There was a noted issue with FLA network sessions, wherein FLA licenses would sometimes activate an extra seat from an active session, leaving some concurrent users locked out of the work session without cause. This issue has been resolved- extra seats should no longer be registered as taken unless they are actively in use.
Router Drill Fix
- It was reported that some users experienced an issue with the router drill, with certain machines not having their tool composition applied by the router drill. This issue has been resolved- toolcomp should now apply to machines using router drills.
