Addressed Issues

Diemaking

ID Functionality Description
EVP-15521 Non-Identical Context Menu Options for Quick Features & Stripping Dies Components Inserting custom components into stripping dies is analogous with the insertion of the quick features in layouts. Yet the contextual edit bar offered differing UI sets for the two modes when they are active. This has been fixed, and now the two modes share the same context-sensitive UI, displaying relevant parameters and mirror tools.
EVP-15633 Stripping Dies: Mirror Tool UI Related to EVP-15521. The mirror tool buttons for already-placed components did not work. This has been fixed.
EVP-15610 Wrong Die Contour Selections In die contour drawings, manually selecting the contours to send them to processing produces a selection that is random and does not follow the order of parts in the original layout. This has been fixed.
EVP-15648 Crash in Bridges Drawings EngView crashes after a bridges drawing is created from a layout that contains at least one part that comes with its own dieboard.

CAM

ID Functionality Description
EVP-15657 Toolpath Generation An algorithmic error caused inaccurate NC scripts generated from CAM machine properties. If the default value of such a property got changed, similar properties in other machines started using this new value instead of their pre-set earlier values. This resulted in inaccurate and unworkable NC scirpts. This issue has been fixed.

macOS Edition

ID Functionality Description
EVP-15650 General UI Double-clicking a file — from either the Library Index or the file system — caused the program to freeze, which required a restart of EngView.
