Autodesk HSMWorks 2018.1

Description

Autodesk HSMWorks 2018.1 WHAT’S NEW This release contains a number of important fixes and improvements, as identified below. New in this version: Allow override of license level (Premium/Ultimate) #7412 Add new Licensing options page to allow override of license (Premium/Ultimate) #7412 Added option to specify tool clearance angles for front and backside of tool separately, for turning profile operation. #7164 Added error validation to ensure Turning Holder’s Overall Length is greater than the Head Length. #3488 Fixed potential hang when stock simulating turning toolpath. #6972 Added command to open Autodesk Account Portal from CAM menu. Holes for drilling are checked for obstructions only against native SolidWorks bodies. Imported bodies would have a significant penalty when checking for obstructions. #7185 Fixed issue with wrong toolpath for Turning Profile depending of tool definition. #7190 Fixed issue with broken turning grooving and threading tools. #7128 Custom turning tool Insert Sizes are not specified anymore in the tool’s Name. #7035 Fixed issues with the installation. Changes to toolpath generation: Fixed wrong toolpath issue for Turning Groove. #7607 Improved leads for Swarf. #7474 Fixed failure to generate toolpath when using lead-out at pre-drill position for 2D Contour. #7371 Fixed repeat finishing support for Turning Profile. #7410 Fixed wrong toolpath issue for Swarf. #7421 Added error message when requested tool offset causes exceeds limit along top and bottom curves for Swarf. #7421 Fixed too long retract when not using home position for Turning Profile. #7527 Changed 2D Contour to use plunge instead of lead-in feed when touching stock. #7512 Fixed issue where horizontal lead-out was added even when turned off for 2D Pocket. #7469 Added support for Wrap (aka axis substitution) for 2D Contour and 2D Pocket. #7409 Major update of Setup Sheet to support embedding of pictures in the generated HTML file (now the default behavior). By embedded the pictures you will only have the single HTML file to manage. Added turning tool specific information and added support for preview of turning tools. The tool preview now uses SVG format to allow better adjustment to the device used and reduce file size. Note that you may need to update to a newer browser to make use of these features. Added rapid retract option to Turning Part and Turning Single Groove. The rapid retract will be enabled for both peck retracts and the final retract. #7304 Fixed issue with SolidWorks hanging on close. #7137 Updated stock simulation engine to fix potential hangs and crashes. #6420 Fixed wrong start position for bore milling when using conventional milling direction in simulation. #7496 Fixed undesired invalidation of toolpath when changing reduced feed for Part and Profile Groove. #7399 Fixed undesired invalidation of operation when only changing feedrate for Feed Optimization. #7399 Fixed incorrect tool validation issue for turning grooving inserts. #7394 Improved handling of rest machining dependencies to avoid long hangs. #7151 Fixed missing trimming of toolpath for Parallel, Radial, Spiral, and Project when tool is not in contact with part. #7441 Fixed compensation mode for 2D Contour when using Off mode and compensation issue for 2D Chamfer. #7444 Fixed wrong ramp issue for 2D Contour. #7325 Fixed potentially wrong toolpath for Turning Profile when disabling Allow Radial Grooving. #7335 Adjusted internal settings to allow for more complex geometry without causing failure for Pocket, 2D Pocket, and 2D Contour. #7333 Use lead-in instead of plunge when linking outside of defined stock for 2D Contour/2D Pocket. #2494 Fixed issue where motion between different Z-levels would be in feed rather than rapid for 2D Contour/2D Pocket. #2437 Fixed issue with skipped pocket due to linking for 2D Contour/2D Pocket. #5923 Improved toolpath quality for 2D Contour to avoid extra circular moves in more cases. #2781 Changed linking for wear and inverse-wear to allow transition moves instead of forcing leads for 2D Contour. #3273 Fixed issue with retracts to home position exceeding the retract limits for Turning Groove. #6777 Fixed issue with missing horizontal lead-ins for 2D Contour when using roughing. #5921 Fixed wrong passes issues when using morph mode for 2D Pocket. #3581 Fixed wrong staydown linking for 2D Contour. #1474 Fixed wrong leads for 2D Contour. #1490 Fixed rest machining support when using sideways cutting for Turning Grooving. #6899 Fixed issue where error was not properly returned when no retract could be successfully fitted for Contour. #2765 Fixed potential generation failure for Adaptive Clearing. #6783 Fixed wrong retract for ID machining for Turning Profile. #6715 Fixed isse with lead-out exceeding axial limit for Turning Profile. #6096 Fixed missing trimming of too high passes for Engrave. #2757 Fixed issue were lower passes where not skipped when higher passes could not be reached for Pocket. #6710 Fixed potential generation failure for Adaptive Clearing. #5583 Fixed wrong ordering from outside issue for 2D Pocket. #6576 Improved toolpath quality for Turning Profile to avoid non tangential final cutting pass fragment in more cases. #2303 Improved linking for 2D Contour to ensure rapid retract in more cases. #6660 Improved pull-away linking for Turning Profile to ensure more leads. #6677 Improved toolpath quality for Turning Groove. #6656 Changes to post processor: Improved inverse-time feed support for HAAS post. Added support optionally measuring all tools at program start for HAAS Next Generation control. Simplified and made some improvements for HAAS mill-turn posts. Extended JSON example post. Major simplification of turning posts. Major update of Tormach Slant-Pro post. Major update of HAAS turning post. Added support for inverse time for Mach Mill posts. Updated rewind handling for HAAS UMC-750. Added support for additional turning insert and holder types. Extended turning tool API. Added Tool.getCompensationDisplacement() API to get the compensation point for turning tools. Added ToolRenderer.getAsBinary() for get binary string representing tool image. Added API BinaryFile.loadBinary() and BinaryFile.saveBinary() to support load and save of binary files. #7192 Added Base64.btoa() and Base64.atob() to support Base64 encoding/decoding. #6970 Fixed failure when using tailstock for turning post. Fixed chip transport issue for HAAS mill-turn posts. Fixed start position of bore milling cycle when using conventional milling direction. #7496 Fixed undesired warning with using bore milling cycle. Fixed missing rotary home indexing for tool break for HAAS UMC-750 post. Fixed inch mode handling for setTranslation() API. #7505 Fixed potential failure for Siemens mill-turn post. Fixed G59.x output for Tormach PathPilot post. Force I and K for circular moves and B-word for drilling for generic Fagor turning post. Disabled G2/G3 since unsupported for BoXZY post.
