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.

The Bend Axis PID Insert Mode controls if the PID COMDEFs are inserted or not into the processlist.

The default mode is DISABLED.

PID values control the tuning of the bend axis separately if draw bending or push-bending. This allows for fine tuning for each type of bending. (Push-bending often needs higher precision than draw bending.)

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.

Customers have asked us to display the note data from the General Setup in all report. So now this data is automatically included in any CNC Bender report (including the File Load screens) that displays the General section.
