Fixed bug with AutoNum algorithm and closed shapes/curves (numbered order for machining through text fields): The machining sequence was not adhered to because text fields were within closed curves
Problem solved: When creating or editing a tool operation, a toolpath is not created or the current one is not changed and the selected drawing object is deleted. The message was "Reference object no longer available"
Fixed incorrect machining depths in the contour and pocket milling cycle (wrong depth with multiple pockets / contours)
Changed all error messages (windows) in application to full error description of the exception
Problem solved where corel crashes while a document is being saved (now data transfer is deactivated while document is being saved)
Higher Z coordinate added for the first plunge process. For a better overview from where the machining operation starts
Changed: Now application hides the layer "ToolPaths" when a new tool operation is created or edited --> Only the current tool path is displayed --> Better overview
Added/Changed: Now application shows operation information like cutting depth or feed rate when the mouse is over it --> Extra area / box with op information removed
Problem solved: Corel crash if user want add a tool operation (all toolpath window) and click on "Cancel" instead of "OK"
Changed reference point for pocketing cycle to center of shape/curve (find next and nearest pocket/shape)
Changed start pocket/shape for pocketing cycle to closest shape to left and top corner of CorelDraw page
Problem solved with Corel crash if user import cdr drawing instead of open cdr drawing (only drawing which is created with gCode Generator)
Pocket cycle / inlay cycle / engraved pocket cycle optimized: Fewer plunge processes, problem solved with repeated immersion for individual contours of the pocket
Default value of the contour accuracy (tolerance) for new operations set to 6
Rendering: Problem solved with driving directly from zero
Sorting algorithm expanded / adapted for contours: Machining from inside to outside Now sort the curves from the inside to outside (e.g. rectangle with hole)
Application layer, e.g. "ToolPaths" are now set to not editable. This means that when a document is opened again, the user's drawing layer is always active Fixed problem with drawing on application layer after open a document.
Application message added if user is using a Coreldraw version lower than 17.6: The creation of parallel toolpaths from open curves/contours is only supported by CorelDraw 17.6 or higher
Problem solved: With incorrect 3d visualization (rendering) for very large drawings / page sizes
Maximum number of G-Codes output lines in trial version changed to 500
Changed surface measurement (create measure grid): Now the measuring grid is defined over the number of point in X- and Y-direction Measuring points size will draw depending on workpiece size (size of Corel sheet)
Added machine setup file: The machine setup file is created parallel to the job file of G-Code while G-Code generation This file can use for setting up the machine, e.g. measure the workpiece surface or set zero points This machine setup file have to run before job running All placeholder / postprocessor parameters are available in this file, e.g. number of measuring points <nx>
Changed the trial version restriction to a maximum G-Code line number of 300
Fixed bug with rendering G-Code (e.g. Gosub line command)
Added scale function to zero point of drawing (the size of zero point now set automatic)
Added automatic generate G-Code function for contour milling and engraving
Change node algorithm to curve precision: Now the node factor is call curve precision Curve precision is the precision for the linear interpolation for curves Each curve or arc (except straight lines) is approached by small segments Original shape/curve of drawings will not be changed
Added some new postprocessor settings: Standard values
Added postprocessor setting: Mark/sign for comment in G-Code can be adapted to brackets "()" oder semicolon ";"
Added funtion for automtic generate G-Code for contour cutting (laser/water): This strategy is for generating G-Code of whole CorelDraw page Sequence of toolpaths can be numeric (with numeric textfields e.g. 1,2,3 or 1.1, 1.2, 1.3) Sequence of toolpaths can also be optimized automatically A specific feed rate can be assigned to each layer
Added postprocessor function for repeat/not repeat coordinates
Added postprocessor function for output/not output each axis
Fixed bug while G-Code generation: "Could not generate G-Code!"
Fixed bug if docker closed and reactivate: application crash
Added function for search and find curve duplicates
Added function/button to show the generated gcode (open with notepad.exe)
Solved bug with drilling operation: start text for operation is now displayed in gcode file
Added more machining strategies (engraving, milling, cutting laser/water)
Changed engraving depth regulator strategy: Now with its own strategy
Optimized pocketing strategy: Less plunge cycles
Changed and optimized progress window while generating GCode
GCode generation is now on own thread
Changed and added some postprocessor settings: Repeat, Factor, Sequence of GCode line supported, increment and start for line number
Added more supported postprocessors which are included in installation (EdingCNC, Mach3/4, cncGraf, WinPC-NC, PlanetCNC, Benezan Beamicon, BZT, Estlcam)
Changed maximum workpiece size for different editions: See "Compare editions"
Changed docker size width: Now the docker/plugin automatic adapts to the coreldraw docker size width
Added icons for different machining operations/strategies
Changed and fixed rendering of GCode: Now zero point is shown
Changed/Added display of machining data and parameters: Select operation and all data will list up directly under
Added Cleaning up backup files, limited now to 50 files, older ones are deleted
Changed AppUI scale: Now App (Docker) height adapts dynamically
Added support for different languages: Main language ist german Docker UI is now available in english Further windows and translation for englisch will follow Further languages will follow
Added support for different units: Inch / Feet / mm / cm / m
Added splash screen for application start
Solved bug with text field with many characters: These text shape is converted to curve and Corel grouped it Grouped shapes are not allowed during Gcode creation
Added option to activate or deactivate spindle for different profiles
Added option to reset/delete current CorelDraw page and machining mode
Added option to add text with different text height units (pt/mm/Inch)
Added support for windows app scale factor (display settings) Now it is possible to run app e.g in 125% scale factor
Added function to import files (.cdr, .pdf, .bmp, .dxf, .jpf, .gif, .png, .plt) to "Gravurlayer" Before import, App shows a preview of the current file
Added support to align shapes in reference to center or border
Added support to change position or size of the align object (e.g. align shape in user defined area)
Added a object manager in app ui: Show all shapes, contours, layers of current CorelDraw page/document
Added support to move selected shapes on a help layer, which will ignore in generate the gcode All shapes on this layer will ignore through the generation of the gcode program
Added CAM settings: G-Code-File will generate with this user defined settings/lines Programm_Start: At the beginnging of the G-Code-program Programm_End: At the end of the G-Code-programm Contour_Start: Before a single contour will engrave
Solved bug with import path from ini file: app crashes if directory not exists
Added new node algorithm Static: Add/Remove nodes in center of segment Dynmaic: Add/Remove nodes dependent on curvature and segment length Therefore: Settings parameter segment_length and curvature added to DockerUI
Solved bug with missing cutting planes
Solved bug with application crash, if window "Viewport big" is open and user changed engraving mode
