New support for hexagonal, octagonal and other multi-sided stock shapes. Just specify the number of sides and the stock model is automatically created.
Rigid tapping for turning now supported.
3D simulation is 3-4 times faster than version 5.0.
New canned cycle support for EZ-path lathes. Use the new post processors path_cyc.cnc or paths_cyc.cnc to generate full canned cycle support for EZ-path lathes. See Turning canned cycles for general information on canned cycles.
2D simulation now supports threading.
3D simulation now accurately simulates multiple start threads, and distinguishes between right and left-handed threads.
Fixture offsets are supported for turning.
