This update introduces AI-powered custom tool digitization from spec sheets, enables multi-operation Feeds & Speeds exports, and delivers advanced turning geometry controls for SolidCAM.
Custom Tools & AI Digitization
- Instant Tool Ingestion: Digitize and import custom tools into My Inventory directly from manufacturer PDF cut sheets, technical drawing images, or product URLs.
- Property Extraction: Upgraded AI parameter extraction to automatically map catalog spec sheets to standard ISO tooling properties.
Job Export & CAM Integrations
- Multi-Operation Feeds & Speeds: Standard XML exports now support exporting unique, feature-specific feeds and speeds for every operation within a job.
- SolidCAM Turning: Integrated Corner Contact Radius (CCR), Left Corner Radius (LCR), and Right Corner Radius (RCR) parameters to drive accurate turning tool positioning.
- hyperMILL Units: Job exports now automatically respect user-defined unit preferences (Inch vs. Metric).
3D Models & Viewer
- Body Classification: Fixed CUT vs. NOCUT classification rules to ensure indexable inserts consistently register as cutting bodies and correctly replace gauge inserts on shanks.
- Visibility: Enhanced bounding box readability for miniature/micro-tooling and complex tool assemblies.
- Orientation: Corrected rendered thumbnail orientations and updated the 3D model parser for Seco and Mitsubishi tools.
Feeds & Speeds
- Calculation Fallbacks: Added automatic fallback logic for Radial Depth of Cut (AeMin/AeMax) when catalog boundaries are undefined.
- Catalog Refresh: Updated machining calculation data for Moldino / Hitachi tooling.
User Interface & Inventory
- Quick Rename: Inline rename dialogs now open immediately with auto-focused text fields upon selection.
- Tool Identifiers: Increased custom Tool Number character limits to 10 characters.
- Assemblies: Added a shortcut to initiate a new tool assembly directly from the Tool Assembly view.
