We have today released OneCNCXR7 Version Update 52.02

This version has an update to the OneCNC install due to the file read import for Solidworks.

Solidworks 2018 requires the latest run-time files for Windows and this update checks and installs these files if required.

This OneCNCXR7 52.02 version updates the OneCNC tool File library directory for both the mill and lathe versions.

OneCNC now stories the tool / material library in the settings/Libraries/default  directory.

OneCNCXR7 Tool Library Files are now being stored in the Libraries Default directory.

Tool Files (also include material file) are stored in the default directory to ensure that the tool file and material is always accessible for all the users of the software and available for templates features use.

For users that wish to have tool files saved for particular reasons such as named for particular machines or particular sections of the shop you can "save library as" the required name accordingly to separate them as they will all be in the common "default" directory.

This is a "shared directory" and gives the ability for all users of the particular software to have full access to the tool and material libraries and load the file that they require.

The "default" directory is now the only place that OneCNC Mill and Lathe applications 52.02+ store the libraries.

Users that may have libraries stored in other directories can import them into the default directory.

Users can also store files as backups in other directories for safe keeping..

"Manage Tool Library" interface can be used to import the file to the "default" directory.

OneCNC products information on Tool Tool Changer and Tool and Material libraries in the online help file in the OneCNC application.

Solidworks

Solidworks now suits all versions up to Solidworks 2018 in 64 Bit OS.

Solidworks have changed file data this latest Solidworks 2018 release.

SPECIAL NOTE:

OneCNCXR7 51.98 supports all files up to Solidworks 2018 in 64 bit version of OneCNC only.

OneCNCXR7 51.98 32 Bit Version will read Solidworks files up to 2017 version only.

This is because the Solidworks files in 2018 are only 64 Bit readable.

This will mean that OneCNC users will need to have 64 Bit OneCNC to read Solidworks 2018 files.

Users with only 32 Bit OneCNC will need to request their supplier supply the files as STEP files because the 2018 sldprt files are 64 Bit

Users with OneCNC 32 Bit OS attempting to load Solidworks 2018 files will see a message to update their OS to 64 Bit to read this file.

OneCNC Licenced users can update to 64 Bit version free of cost simply by installing the OneCNCXR7 51.98 on to a Windows 64 Bit OS.

OneCNC has released OneCNCXR7 Version Update 51.89

There are many adjustments in this release which is applicable to all versions of OneCNCXR7

The main changes in this release are:

Extracting Entities:

Many users were used to just extracting geometry entities to the current layer.

OneCNC in the previous release released the ability to extract and move extracted entities to a layer named extracted as a default setting. This was done to separate extracted geometry because extracted is best fit geometry rather than drawn geometry. OneCNCXR7 Version update 51.88 by default still extracts the extracted entities to the extracted layer but it also supports switching the extracted to the current layer.

This new setting can be found File> OneCNC Properties> Layer Tab

Chinese language version:

This release includes the latest updates to bith the Traditional and Simplified versions of Chinese languages.
There is an update to the German and Japanese Languages to reflect the latest changes.

Dimensions

3D dimensions can now use entities that are not on the same plane.
This ability should only be used with care.
The view should be rotated to the plane that dimension is to be viewed on to check and ensure the dimension refers the the entities that you require.
In 3D the reference lines may not be on the selected entities 

True Type Fonts

Text to Geometry (vectorized text) True Type fonts function use it was found that some fonts had duplicated entities. This version corrects that so that there are no duplicated geometry causing a multiple engraving of those entities.

Coolant Setting

The editing of the coolant name in the tool change dialog was not saving correctly.

This is now available in the OneCNC update server
