v12.11 - July 16, 2014

Cncv12procontrol withteachmode.jpg


Check.jpg NEW: New PostBend Option - Release Shift Away

A PostBend Release Shift Away option is added that allows the process to shift the tube out of the dies just after the dies open in the RELEASE section of the process.

  • This option has no effect in any release mode that involves a robot.
  • This option has no effect in the Custom Release mode.
  • It works in all other modes.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: No Longer Clear Tool Data Page with TubeShape Clear

Previous versions of CNC Bender would clear the Tool page when the Tube Shape page was cleared. This creates a problem in workflow, because the tool data is setup before the part is setup. Clearing the TubeShape page should never clear the tool page.

This issue has been resolved in this version.

Check.jpg FIX: Custom Command Editor

The Custom Commands menu and Custom Command Editor would sometimes show an error when clearing the menu then re-entering the Editor.

This problem has been resolved in this version.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: CNC Program Loader Allows for Adjustable CNC Executable Location

The location of the CNC Bender executable files can change depending on the application. The Program Loader can now run the CNC Bender program from any location - not just the standard "C:\CNC" folder location.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • Removed the second scroll bar on the right side of the File Load menu since it was redundant.
