When you have STEP and LASER open at the same time on multiple screens, it is possible to reverse either screen's XYZ coordinates. This fix updates both screens correctly when you reverse the coordinates in either screen.

The new command allows you to clear paths that no longer exist in the list of Path Manager.

Check.jpgNEW - Super fast AUTOBUILD PARAMETRIC Import of Solid Models

The new Autobuild Parametrics feature speeds up importing and calculating centerline and bender data parametrics by 5 times or more by automating the calculation process with a single button press.

The new Autobuild Parametrics button is in the Parametric Tube Data menu.

Autobuild will automatically attempt to calculate the centerline from the imported STEP or IGES model. For Autobuild to work, it needs to follow these rules about the incoming model.

The Rules for Autobuild

  • The model should be a single clean tube.

  • The model should formed as a segmented tube shape made up of cylinders and truncated-tori.

  • Remove all other geometry first.

  • The following are either handled or ignored:

  1. Inner walls are used to determine the wall thickness

  2. End wall rings are ignored

  3. Non-surface data, like lines and points are ignored
