    Toolbox Release Notes | Build 21.1.1119.641

    The following Release Notes apply to Toolbox Build 21.1.1119.641

    Database Management

    This build features significant development focused on improving the user experience with Toolbox's Database Management utility.  The following updates and defect resolutions are included in this release:

    Additions:
    1. Added the ability to select and check multiple items at once in the Database Management tree-view (Shift-click to select multiple items at once, then click one of the checkboxes to check/uncheck them all).

    2. Added the ability to change the name of the exported database.

      3. Because previous versions of Toolbox used the MicrovellumFactory file name exclusively, database files exported with custom names will not be available for import into older builds without first renaming them to "MicrovellumFactory.sdf".
    3. Added the ability to import databases that are not named MicrovellumFactory.
    4. Added a checkbox option that allows the overwriting of hardware machining tokens when importing hardware materials.
    Modifications:
    1. Modified the default materials selection.  Previously, all the materials in the database were selected anytime a project was exported or imported.  Now if you are exporting a project, all the materials will automatically be selected (the user still has the option to remove the materials before export).  If you are importing a project, no materials will be selected by default (the user still has the option to add materials for import).
    2. Modified the default Specification Group selection.  Previously, Specification Groups were being imported/exported along with all products.  Now, they will only be transferred if a project or library is transferred.
    Resolutions:
    1. Resolved an issue where it was possible to import duplicate records if the name of a record had been modified in the Resolve Names UI.
    2. Resolved an issue where after importing a project as a new project in Database Management, the categories would not be renamed to the new project name.
    3. Resolved an issue where the Resolve Duplicate Names UI would appear behind the progress bar so it was not apparent that user interaction was required to continue processing.
    4. Resolved an issue causing a "Could not find directory" error when importing a material file that did not include hardware images.
    5. Resolved an issue where importing formula materials in Database Management would not display the formula-driven material alias.
    6. Resolved an issue where an empty project level category was created when exporting a library.
    7. Resolved an issue when an import or export process failed or was canceled but the user, the program displayed a message that the operation had been completed.

    Replace Products

    Additions:
    1. We have added the ability to skip a prompt when using the Replace Product command.  If you don't want to use the original product's prompt value, you can set an optional control type on that product's prompts page via the Use Last Value column. Learn more about the Replace Products Prompt Override.

    DXF Files

    Additions:
    1. Added a DXF Template for DXF files created during work order processing that includes the Dim Styles established in Options as well as a new viewport.  Learn more about DXF Template Configuration.
    Resolutions:

    Resolutions:
    1. Resolved an issue where some reports were not being generated when the "output after WO batch" option was selected for Report Groups.
    2. Resolved an issue where Excel reports were not being generated for Report Groups.
    3. Resolved an issue where the markup was not populating correctly for formula-driven sheet materials on MV Costing Reports. 
    4. Resolved an issue where manually printing Report Groups always printed the last batch instead of the selected batch.
    Resolutions:
    1. Removed a prefilter that was referencing a column that is no longer in use in the PartProcessingStation table when the associated report was a batch report.

    Specification Groups

    Resolutions:
    1. Resolved an issue where copying a spec group and using the find and replace feature for edgeband materials would create an extra invalid record in cutparts.

    Tool File & G-code

        Include Routes in Borders (IRIB)

        Improvements have been made to the Include Routes in Borders (IRIB) functionality of Toolbox.   This means increased accuracy and faster processing of some parts with IRIB, especially parts created with the Solid Model Analyzer (SMA).

        Resolutions:
        1. Resolved an issue where IRIB was incorrectly processing parts created with SMA.
        2. Resolved an issue causing long wait times or freezing when analyzing profiles in the SMA template. 
        3. Resolved an issue where IRIB would not process correctly when the first lead-out vector of a route was less than .5mm.
        4. Resolved an issue where Trim External Vectors was missing changes in vectors on routes with multiple z values.
        5. Resolved an issue where setting a Premill would interfere with IRIB processing.
        6. Resolved an issue where dado machining processed with IRIB changed from a double pass to a single for some lead-in/out values.
        7. Resolved an issue when True Shape was set above 40%, IRIB would process even when turned OFF.
        8. Resolved the issues that were causing parts to have a slight rotation in both the 2D and nest patterns.
          1. Important Note: With these changes, some parts may appear to be machined or rotated differently when compared to previous builds. These changes are intentional and in most cases, now correct. 
          2. Important Note: To take advantage of the improvements that fix slightly rotated parts, you will need to reanalyze the 3D model where that originated.
        9. Resolved issues that were degrading the accuracy of 2D part machining and nest optimization results.
          1. Important Note : In some cases, especially when an arc is needed on a corner, you may experience and issue where IRIB cannot properly negotiate the part border polyline correctly. This is an issue that you may not experience, but if you do, please know that we are actively working to resolve it.

        Report Data Processing

        Modifications:
        1. We have streamlined the way part image, filename, barcode, edge boring (Hbore), and edgebanding location information for labels and reports is processed to improve accuracy and efficiency. This means you will no longer need part transformation functions to accurately display data on Microvellum generated part labels and reports. After updating to build 21.1.0714.641, your existing labels and reports may need to be updated. Learn more

        Resolutions:
        1. Resolved an issue where label rotation was incorrect after updating or creating new g-code from drawing. 
        2. Resolved an issue where label images were created with edgeband lines in the wrong position.
        3. Resolved an issue when a perfectly square part was rotated in the initial processing of a work order, the part would not be rotated after using the Update/Create new g-code from drawing button.
        4. Resolved an issue where a part with a machine point that was rotated did not orient horizontal drilling correctly.

        Tool File UI

        Modifications:
        1. Moved Barbaric, Homag Woodstore, and Schelling material handling types from Auto Labeling Type to a new Material Management Type drop-down selection in the IPP settings of the Tool File user interface.

        Selection of a Material Management Type will set the Auto Labeling Type to none.  After setting a Material Management Type on an updated station, older versions of Toolbox reading the same tool file will not handle materials as intended.  It is recommended that all stations sharing the same tool file be running the same software version.
