The principal newly created function is ‘Job Wizard’, which automatically creates NC programs from customer orders. For the parts and plates within a customer’s library that are marked for automatic processing, Job Wizard nests all parts on the correct plates and assigns the best machine to cut the components based on strategy settings.
Further enhancements include a simpler, menu-driven user interface, a zoom overlay window that shows details without zooming to the complete layout, visual control for users to detect parts on a table grid, and commands that improve cut quality and production time when bevelling (by optimising the cutting path).
