08/31/2022Detailing PliesFix When the elevation orientation of a part is missing the available printing real estate would be restrained to the thickness of the item for detailing. Elevation orientation was not being computed on .ezx nor .ezf file import types.
08/31/2022Material Same AsFix When 'Same As' material feature was used in 'Material Types' library the optimizer wouldn't know which stock length to choose since the materials each have their own stock lengths. A mechanism was added which will manage them as combined.
08/31/2022Min Waste / OptmizingFix Fence gap was being forced into optimizer as a minimum waste value which resulted in optimizing with undesired results. Could not fit parts in a run where could physically do so.
08/31/2022Width ProblemFix Width dimension calculating incorrectly from geometry. 2x2 for a 2x4 for example.
08/28/2022Calibration HangFix Calibration wizard hanging up after pusher homing completed. Cause: Pusher statefull implementation caused calibration wizard to need to follow statefullnes as well. Fix: added statefullness to calibration wizard to wait for homing to complete then proceed.

06/03/2022No Family Id OKImprovement EHX file load failure when missing familyid values. Import made more robust and less sensitive to null values in strongly-typed value requirements. Import will now load regardless of missing familyid values in subassemblies and injects the default value of 32 which is the proper default familyid value for a subassembly.
05/13/2022Multi-Angle FixFix Multiple angles on the trailing end of a part found to not be calculating for a total of kerfs but rather the greatest kerf.
05/11/2022Size Calc. Added RobustnessImprovement Dimension calulation of thickness, width, and length from geometric plot points adjusted to handle improper geometry found coming from some design platforms. Easyframe adjusted to handle the calculation regardlessly as long as enough data is prestent from both elevation and bottom view to consistently determine the product dimensions. This condition has only been found in regards to rafter cuts or parts used in similar conditions as a rafter.
05/08/2022Scrap SuggestionNew Feature Scrap suggestion alerts when every item in a cut run is under the percentage specified in the cut run settings 'Scrap Suggestion Percentage'.
05/08/2022Scrap Length SuggestNew Feature Scrap length property added to material types library items. When a run is to be created where the resulting drop piece is greater than this percentage the run will use a stock length of zero. This will tend to visually prompt the operator to use scrap instead of a full piece.
05/08/2022Bundle Layer SupportAdded Support Added support for bundle layer in all file types which contain data for bundle layers. .wbx, virtek.xml, easyframe.ezx, easyframe.ezf.

04/13/2022Batch Save FixFix Batch would save as previous job and damage the current batch from save over. This would occur with scrap cutting option enabled as it would attempt to save the scrap cutting job.
04/12/2022Min. Waste FixFix Minimum waste length setting was not accessible from user-interface and has a default of 1 inch. The result was that all runs were set to leave a minimum waste of 1 inch and there was not user-practical way to change the setting. Fixed and changed the default to zero.
04/12/2022Auto-Loader FixFix Autoloader - Autoloader automatic mode in user-interface was not always being observed correctly in the run processor because the identification that the run could or could not be autoloaded was not being set until the run was loaded which resulted in auto-loading to not work on the first run going into run mode.
04/12/2022Run Proc. Log HighlightsImprovement Run process diagnostics log - Added color highlighting to all transition changes to make identifying changes easier to spot.
04/08/2022Cut Run Layer Index FixFix Linear optimizer cut run layer indexes were not being maintained after recent optimizer improvement. Fixed and dev. tested.
