NCPlot v2.02 Release Notes
June 2, 2007


General

NCPlot would only recognize a particular version of Machinist ToolBox. This has been changed so that NCPlot will work with any version of the MTB ActiveX.

The default file types setting now allows wildcard characters "*" and "?".

NCPlot will now give run time estimates for lathe programs that use constant surface speed (CSS). This calculates run time for both G20 Inch mode (surface feet per minute) and G21 Metric mode (surface meters per minute). This also takes into account the G50/G92 clamp RPM settings "S" Maximum RPM and "Q" Minimum RPM. This requires that feed per rev also be active.

Improved the backplotting speed for programs that make heavy use of subprograms.


DXF Import

The layer header and footer text were not being added when converting a DXF file to a lathe program. This is fixed.


Preferences

Added an option to the Preferences dialog that allows you to set whether you want the plot to pause at M00 commands.


Variable Display

You can now edit variables that are displayed on the variable display window. Double-clicking a variable number in the list will open a window where you can enter a new value for the variable. You can enter any valid expression as the new value. To set the variable to <empty>, enter the null variable "#0" as the expression.


Expression Calculator

The contents of the expression calculator results window is now saved on exit.

Clicking a line in the results window will now copy that line back to the expression text box. This makes it easier to go back and re-evaluate an earlier expression.


Thanks,
Scott
