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).<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://ftp.steptools.com/private/NIST/Boxy_Part_3-Axis_Machining_8_Setups_v1.238">ftp://ftp.steptools.com/private/NIST/Boxy_Part_3-Axis_Machining_8_Setups_v1.238</a><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

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.<br>

---------------------------------------
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.
