Add Exactly Overlapping Standard Patterns to
Different Layers having Different Step Margins
Genesis can now, within the Standard Type of the Contour Fill
Parameters Popup, add exactly overlapping standard patterns on different
layers that have different step margins. This new capability is enabled by
defining a value for the new parameter Origin Point within the Standard
Type of the Contour Fill Parameters Popup.
For more information, see “Add Exactly Overlapping Standard Patterns to
Different Layers having Different Step Margins” on page 7.
Auto Rout Manager
Negative Numbers Permitted for Spindle Speed in the
Rout Tool
Genesis now enables negative values for spindle speed. This permits rout
machine spindles to rotate from bottom to top (instead of top to bottom,
the usual direction), and enables plunge cuts from the bottom side of the
board upward (instead of the usual process of plunge cuts going from top
to bottom).
For more information, see “Negative Numbers Permitted for Spindle
Speed in the Rout Tool” on page 13.
I/O
Genesis can Input AutoCAD DWG Files
Genesis can now read and input Autocad DWG (binary) files. The DWG
files must have the file extension label ".dwg" to be read as DWG files.
DWG files are read and converted into DXF (text-based) format during the
Input process by 3rd-party conversion software specified in the
dwg2dxf.csh
hook file.
For more information, see “Input AutoCAD DWG Files” on page 10.
