New feature - Options menu ► Preferences ► Solids tab ► Render by Slope.
New quick button to set Options menu ► Preferences ► Solids tab ► Render by Type.
Face Feature dialog enhanced to provide automatic selection of multiple related faces for the new face feature - prior to SWARF machining for example.
New associative 'Edge Loop Features'.
Ability to find features in multiple CPLs simultaneously.
Can set a preferred tolerance for Granite solid models.
New preference for opting whether or not to 'Load Sheet Bodies'.
SolidWorks Colours imported.
Solids menu ► Geometry creates a single entity chain as well as a continuous.
New Anti-aliasing preference reduces the staircase effect on sloping lines.
New quick button for setting the 'display toolpath normals' preference.
Dialogs' help switched to 'Tab' style to mimic the dialogs.
Tutorials switched to a 'tall and thin' format for easier display alongside EdgeCAM.
Face Milling Cycle Enhancements - '%Stepover specified as a percentage of the tool's 'Small Diameter'. Stepover value adjusted for even cut spacing. Default Stock Offset setting of 0.5mm/0.02inch.
When indexing new Alternate Solution option adds another rotation to the index move by rotating the 'Postition To' CPL (and hence the part) through 180°.
Work Datum Override overrides the automatically calculated datum location code.
Parting Off operation options for setting CSS (Constant Surface Speed) and controlling the Retract Type ('Pull off' is the small Z move before the X move).
Part driven in Simulator, so staying in synchronisation with the stock.
Real number PCI system variables evaluated in PCIs to 9 significant figures.
PCI variable $!textFileName always up to date.
