All,

A new version of HardMoldy has been put onto the ftp site in preparation 
for tomorrow's conference call.
ftp://www.steptools.com/private/CAM_exchange/Cycle_4/v4_IMTS_HARDMOLDY.zip

If you use the latest STEP-NC Explorer (v10.35) on our home page to view 
this version then you will see the following improvements:

1. Issues found by Okuma with Boeing process data fixed (wrong spindle 
direction and 0 feed for first code)
2. Okuma fixture replaces Boeing fixture
3. Associative tolerances implemented on the part properties pane 
(picking a callout highlights the machining face constrained by a 
tolerance).
4. ISO 13399 tools now have the correct length as specified by the ISO 
13399 parameters.
5. The X axis kinematics of the Okuma machine now apply to the spindle
6. Tool tip focus gadget now centers the view on the tool tip with or 
without a machine in the scene

There is still one small issue with the position of the cutting tools 
when loaded into the Okuma spindle and the internal fight over this 
issue has resulted in the spindle geometry not being displayed in the 
current system.
