Release Notes 3.6 – 3.6.2604 (April 2026)

This update enhances tooling inventory controls, expands custom tool parameter customization, and improves CAM export accuracy across turning and milling operations.

 

Inventory & Custom Tooling

  • GTC Package Ingestion: Added the ability to automatically generate complete inventory items when importing GTC tooling packages.
  • Direct Catalog Editing: Enabled in-app editing of manufacturer catalog items directly within custom inventory workspaces.
  • Shared Inventory Access: Expanded quick search and customer part number resolution across shared organization inventories.

 

Job Export & CAM Integrations

  • Zoller: Corrected tool coupling connection size (CCMS) exports to ensure metric values translate properly.
  • hyperMILL: Aligned tool mounting positions with physical cutter geometry.
  • ESPRIT EDGE: Ensured non-cutting bodies and temporary cutting meshes are properly removed from exported standalone items.
  • Turning Tool Kinematics: Corrected spatial coordinates, Cutting Reference Points (CRP), and Corner Contact Radii (CCR) on left- and right-handed turning holders.

 

Tool Advisor & Search

  • Partial Matches: Enhanced Tool Advisor matching to identify partial inventory matches when an exact full assembly is unavailable.
  • Preferred Rules: Introduced preferred machining rule prioritization to highlight optimal tooling strategies first.
  • Global Search: Restored advanced workpiece material filtering directly from the global search bar.

 

3D Models & Assembly

  • Insert Mating: Corrected insert attachment logic to ensure inserts consistently bind to the correct coordinate system (CSW) on multi-pocket holders.
  • Orientation: Fixed default viewing angles on detailed product pages to present standard machining orientations.

 

Brand Catalogs & Data Updates

  • Production Releases: Released complete production catalogs for 5th Axis workholding and XEBEC surface finishing.
  • Data Updates: Refreshed tooling data and connection codes for Walter, Seco, OSG, and Iscar.
