Check.jpg NEW - Low Level - Rotate Reset Mode

The Rotate Reset Mode controls if the rotate axis is reset to zero between every bend by default. If you intend to use Absolute Pre-Rotate Enable with multiple parts in the Runlist, and the axis should never reset itself except when homing, then the Rotate Reset mode can be set to DISABLE.

The default mode is ENABLED.

Check.jpg NEW - Spacebar Filter Mode

Pressing the spacebar in Windows causes any focused button to "click." This can cause manual jog moves with the press of the spacebar. Some users prefer that this Windows feature be disabled for better safety.

This version of CNC Bender has a new Spacebar Filter Mode in Low Level that, by default, will prevent the "clicking" of any buttons or controls in CNC Bender software. The exceptions are:

  • When CNC Bender is in the Low Level menu.
  • When the CNC Bender numeric keypad is active.
