This update introduces an all-new modular Job Report engine, full lifecycle Job State tracking, “Move To” organization in My Inventory, and visual exports for ESPRIT EDGE and SolidCAM.
Job Management & Workflow
- Job Lifecycle States: Added a dedicated “State” field across Job Lists and Job Information views to track job stages from planning to production.
- Material Retention: Fixed an issue where custom workpiece materials detached after querying the Tool Advisor or saving jobs.
- Classification Memory: Workpiece material dialogs now preserve the active brand classification when reopened.
Search & Tool Advisor
- AI Search with Filters: Combined natural-language search (“Chuck”) with catalog property filters for fast product discovery.
- Separator-Aware Autocomplete: Search autocomplete now handles hyphens, dashes, and spaces accurately (e.g., ER-16-M3-L).
- Brand Advisor Discovery: Fixed brand-parameter persistence when viewing Tool Advisor results.
Inventory & Shop Floor Management
- “Move To” Reorganization: Move items directly between custom inventory categories and folders.
- Batch Assembly Import: Import entire lists of tool assemblies simultaneously into My Inventory using plain text (.txt) files.
- Legacy Product Access: Restored catalog product pages for obsolete items so replacement tooling and reference specs remain accessible.
- Machine Spindle Tracking: Completed backend support to designate machine spindles and magazine pockets as assignable tool locations.
Job Export & CAM Integrations
- ESPRIT EDGE: Job exports now automatically package high-resolution 3D tool and assembly render images directly into CAM tool libraries.
- SolidCAM Parametric Cutters: Export solid cutters as native parametric shapes (shape_type: 0) rather than standard 3D meshes for faster CAM manipulation.
- Export Synchronization: “Send to CAM” and clipboard actions are now disabled until feed and speed calculations finish computing.
3D Models & Geometry
- Indexable Drills: Aligned the Cutting Reference Point (CRP) to the active insert cutting edge rather than the tool-point shank origin.
Brand Catalogs & Data Updates
- Ceratizit: Full catalog release featuring complete GTC data structures, updated XML hierarchies, application icons, and manufacturer workpiece materials.
- Mitsubishi Materials: Deployed September/October 2026 catalog data and geometry updates.
- LMT Onsrud: Activated automatic connection code generation for modular tooling assemblies.
