Upgrade Information for 11/12/2020 :

Kentech Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Version 17.1.0 of KipwareXC®.

Added was a DELETE option in the KipwareXC® EDITOR allowing for the simple deletion of user defined characters or full commands

Enhanced FULL CIRCLE CONVERSION option. This option allows for the automatic division of full circle commands into -4- individual quadrant commands for machines / controls that lack the ability to mill full circles as they must be broken down into quadrants. This new enhancement includes the automatic division of Z axis moves for the quadrants if 3 axis circular cutting is employed in the original line(s).

 

Upgrade Information for 08/11/2020 :

Kentech Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Version 17.0.0 of KipwareXC®.

We have enhanced the use of the DELETE CODE IDENTIFIER to include it's use in the User Options. Users can now delete an ADDRESS and any data associated with the addess by using a user defined DELETE CODE IDENTIFIER in a Macro Statement. For example :

 

If the DELETE CODE IDENTIFIER is defined as $.

and the Original Code Macro is :

G76*X*K*

and the Replacement Code Macro as :

G86*X$*F*

This would result in the conversion of the original G code line of

G76X-2.000Z-1.000K.015

being converted to

G86Z-1.000F.015

 

The X and any associated data value is removed completely by the DELETE CODE IDENTIFIER ... along with the normal F replacement with K.
