  • Added Mirror action in cad tools
  • Improved input forms of traslate / rotate / scale actions.

V.2.1.0.519

  • Added Lead In / Lead Out in milling finish operation.

  • Added [Finishing Overlap] feature.

Finishing operation in closed contourn can leave a visible mark due to tool deflection at start/exit point.
You can set a distance value in [Finishing Overlap] property to avoid this problem

V.2.1.0.490

  • Is now possible format coordinate values with forced trailing zero, like this X19.2 >> X19.2000 , set true this property from post processor dialog : [Force Decimal Position on Coordinate]

  • Lathe module - Now ecam can manage the undercut problem in turning operation.
    Read here for more info.

  • From preference is possible to hide the lathe , vertical mill or cad related buttons, this in case you don't need them and you want to hide them.

  • Is possible to run ecam in single instance, instead of opening a new window , it show you the current one. You can set this behaviour from preference , search for [Allow only one instance ]

    keyboard shortcut cheatsheet

  • Simplified Setup screen
  • Minor bug fixes

V. 2.0.0.609

  • Fixed bug in removing turn threading operation process .
  • Fixed {NEXT_TOOL_CODE} tag in post-processor.Usually with vertical mill is better prepare next used tool , in order to speed up next tool change. The tag {NEXT_TOOL_CODE} is available in [OPERATION HEAD CODE] template.

  • Fixed reversed turning mode.
  • Added [Additional Secure Z Distance] in turning tool geometry. This add an additional distance in tool approach ,especially in reversed turning operation.

With no additional secure distance
With **no** additional secure distance

With additional secure distance
With additional secure distance

V. 2.0.0.549

  • Fixed BUG in toolpath trimming method.
  • Added [Additional tool depth] property in chamfering mill. The chamfer tool work with a upper part of tool, and is less stressful for insert tool tip. You can set this property from tool geometry screen dialog.

V. 2.0.0.490

  • Fixed Russian and Polish localization
  • Now in possible setting multiple step on mill chamfering operation. Variables tool depths are calculated to keep constant volume material remove.

  • Reintegrated window zoom action.
  • added [Disable Anti-Aliasing] , in order to increase performance in some machine. You can change it from Preference dialog.
  • Selected operation indicator

V. 2.0.0.232

  • Lathe Module - Is now supported asynchronous feed in turning operation . This is settable from Preference dialog

V. 2.0.0.204

  • Lathe Module - Is possible to edit the feed reduction in plunge moves .

  • Cad Editor - Now you can edit the maximum distance used in entities grouping.

  • Interface - If you hover with mouse cursor the current operation time, a tooltip will appear with total working times, grouped by setup. See image below

V 2.0.0.0

  • Changed installer system , which permits me to release fast bug fix in easy way.
    Ecam , if connect to internet, auto update to last released version . No need to download manually the last version from site, just run ecam , and it get the updated program files.

  • Upgraded to .NET 4.5 , this mean ecam doesn't run anymore on Windows XP

  • Mill Module - Added cutting operation , used tipically with cnc router.
