Always check for the latest version on our website:
http://www.website.denford.ltd.uk/suppo ... -downloads

In 5.18 we have.........

Added crop above and below to EasyScan 3D STL model editor

Change resolution entry in scan form to be in mm, and not "use every N motor steps" (still stores the use every value, but displays the effective scanning resolution)

added Plunge Feed Percentage=25 into post processor file to speed up plunging in some machines/materials (ie you can set the plunge rate to 100% to keep it same as cutting rate)

changes large radius, small angle arcs into straight lines to overcome large arc outputs from some CAM programs

added a PCB engraving cutter 0.4mm to the tool lib

added option to do rotary 3D laser scanning in the Y axis (not default)

changed to GLFileSTL_DENFORD which has a better way of determining ascii or binary stl (cosmic blob files will now work)

put the scanning wizard onto a big button next to blue info button

allowed you to specify retract height above Z0 in PCB wizard AND DXF wizard, so that a floating head arrangment can be given enough height to pull out of the job

search and replace on the default fast editor now tells you how many occurances were replaced after clicking "Yes To All"

updated ALL Mints so that the guard open didn't fire in after 4 seconds and stop the spindle, if you stopped, then immediately restarted the spindle
