Fixed missing support for setting description when using HSMWorks_createObject() and HSMWorks_createObject2() APIs. Added new API HSMWorks_hasToolId() to check if tool is available in document. This is a hidden feature to allow deep analysis of HSMWorks-SolidWorks integration issues. Added support logging SolidWorks API integration. #DUAL SPINDLE MACHINE IN HSMWORKS UPDATE#
The following changes have been made in an earlier update (2019.2):
Added a missing library to the installer which is needed for the HSMEdit backplot function. Fixed an issue where HSMLIB files exported from Fusion 360 did not have any numerical field information in HSMWorks. Fixed an issue which prevented a use of a part if the "HoleBuilder" component threw an error, but only if using SolidWorks 2018. The following changes have been made in an earlier update (2019.2.1): Added advanced API HSMWorks_setObjectGeometry2() to allow geometry override entity flags to be set. Fixed missing update of parameters when using HSMWorks_setObjectToolById(). Fixed an issue where gouge checking for Turning Profile leads was incorrectly being done for the tool nose center instead of the tool contact point. Fixed an issue with the Turning Profile and Turning Groove operations where the tool was not cutting to the inner radius if there was a hole with a diameter greater than the inner radius. Fixed a problem in the Pocket strategy that could cause an operation to freeze and not finish. For the Engrave toolpath, improved the ordering to reduce the distance which the tool jumps when moving between letters in engraved text. Fixed excessive tool library load time with Harvey tools installed. The problem occurred in both roughing and finishing passes. Fixed an issue for Turning Profile operations in which leads were not generated at an angle with respect to the toolpath direction when "Use Fixed Lead Direction" was turned off. Added a new parameter "make sharp corners" to a profile turning toolpath to ensure that outside corners are sharp and not rounded. Avoid creating an extra tool entry when creating a new tool. Fixed a problem with the retract at the shifted position when expanding the Fine Boring cycle for the post processor. Added the ability for a grooving tool to go a specified distance below the inner radius while facing the part in a groove turning operation. When there is more than one body in the model, no automatic selection of all the bodies will be done when creating a new Setup. The following changes have been made in an earlier update (2019.3): This is similar to what is available with HSMWorks_setJobWCS, and complementary to HSMWorks_getObjectToolView. Introduced a new HSMWorks_setObjectToolView function to set the tool orientation for an object. This resulted in the user interface displaying an incorrect value for the parameter. Fix a bug in which HSMWorks_setObjectParameter updated the expression, but not the value of the parameter. Modified the radii drop down items in turning operation dialogs to be consistent with turning terminology. Fixed an issue in turning profile roughing and profile finishing operations where the tool was cutting deeper than it should. Fixed an issue where lead-in and lead-out angles at the back of the part were not being honored for turning profile roughing and profile finishing toolpaths. Added the ability to machine a user-defined distance below inner radius for turning face, profile, groove and part operations. Installation WHAT’S NEW The following changes have been made in the current update (2019.3.1): HSMWorks Ultimate (formerly HSMWorks Premium). HSMWorks Premium (formerly HSMWorks Professional).
