Until version 5.5.2.6 the software outputs GCode automatically and internally compensated for all cycles. This means that no tool radius compensation is made by the controller, such as G41/G42. By internally compensating all the GCode, the GCode output is compatible with more controllers, but several users prefer the use of compensated code on the controller …

Oil Thread
The oil thread is a low depth path along the outside or inside of a profile where the main objective is to allow oil to pass though the part. Others similar descriptions can be: relief groove, oil passage, oil channel among others depending on the documentation Available after version 5.5.1.8 – this feature is experimental …
Thread
Most CNC machines can handle threads using a built in cycle. On the machine configuration, if this cycle template is well defined most of the threads can be handled by the software. The set up of the thread is done on machine configuration (templates). On version 5.5.1.8 the thread cycle is also used by the …
Custom tool datasheet location
Available after version 5.5.1.5 Default tool datasheet on software was made for FastSeal supplied tools. Since the software allows the use of any tool source, our users can also use different documentation, even for different machines configurations. Therefor a new setting was implemented, on the folders section of the machine settings, as shown below: If …

Tool geometry
Tool geometry definition can change the toolpath associated with a tool as the built in tool radius compensation uses the radius, tool tip direction and tool geometry to determine the possible toolpath without overcut the final path. The tool geometry definition is presented to the user when possible using the ISO standards. This is not …
