v1.11.0

Release date: 20 December 2023

  - Aligned to the X, Y and Z axes
  - Select ‘by setup’
  - Full automatic selection by CAM Assist (beta customers only)
- If you select the direction ‘by setup’, you can then also:

  - Use the interface to select which directions you want to machine the part from (respecting the order of selection)
