[step-manufacturing] 8 setup Boxy with Fixtures

[Martin Hardwick]

All,

KTH has made a new 3-axis version of Moldy that includes half inch 
tooling, fixture data for the first time and just 8 setups (instead of 12).

ftp://ftp.steptools.com/private/NIST/Boxy_Part_3-Axis_Machining_8_Setups_v1.238

In addition STEP Tools has created a new version of the STEP-NC Explorer 
(see below) that makes the selection data persistent so the new data set 
does a much better job at showing the required workingsteps for the half 
inch tooling.

What we have not done yet is adjust the setup change process for 
fixtures so if you hurry you can see them make some very amusing 
"bounces" between setups.

This issue will be fixed soon. Another near term to do is to add the 
cross section data for half inch tooling already computed by Boeing.

PS. There are now quite a lot of Boxy files on the ftp site so I have 
moved the old ones to the sub-directory below.

---------------------------------------
Changes in release 8.32 (2010-03-24)

* The enable/disable state for workingsteps is now saved with the
   file.  The main workplan tab now grays out the workingstep name when
   it is disabled, as was previously done in the tool tab.

* Added "Export Shape" entry to the context menu on the part
   properties pane.

* Corrected crash when using File | Export | Workpiece on a default
   workpiece that has no geometry.

* Updated the part properties pane to allow editing of the workpiece
   name by pressing the enter key.

* Added "Remove Duplicates" to the menu on the Feed/Speed window.
