v1.8.0
Release date: 4th October 2023
Features
Tool Onboarding - after successfully testing a preview version, we’ve introduced the Tools Usages tab, which provides an enhanced method for onboarding your tools, enabling you to integrate CAM Assist with your existing tool setup at the click of a button. For details of how to use Tools Usages, see Getting Started with CAM Assist.
Finishing Improvements - we’ve updated and improved our finishing strategies. This feature is now activated by default: we’d love to hear your feedback!
For parts with large flat corners and small radii we’ll finish with a large tool followed by a smaller one (for details, see Finishing Tab).
Improvements
CAM Assist now supports up to 49 flutes when face milling.
Improved warning and error handling if CAM Assist fails to convert a target setup.
Fixes
We've completed some improvements during thread processing and freeform selection during wall finishing.
Due to an integration issue with Fusion 360, the hole patching feature has been removed.
