v0.7.0-beta.5
- Back to Jog from the BitZero panel (Control): Probe… on Jog & zero now has a ← Back to Jog button, so you can carry on jogging after probing. It's greyed out while the probe runs.
- A newer tool builds the installers (electron-builder 26), for its security fixes. The app inside is the same.
v0.7.0-beta.4
- Tools are set up in panels, not typed codes (Design): Array, Rotate and Copy open a panel; the result shows dashed before OK.
- Array does rows and columns: a horizontal or vertical row, repeated as a grid.
- Rectangle, Circle, Ellipse, Polygon and Star have a panel: type a size and each click places one.
- Make toolpaths (the wand in the Toolpaths panel) proposes toolpaths for a drawing, and adds them only on OK. (cutting) Check each, and air-cut first.
- A drawing keeps its units: made in inches, it opens in inches on any computer.
- Fixes: dimensions after Fillet corners, Fit, Extend on joined shapes, remembered panel settings, History ids.
v0.7.0-beta.3
- Construction lines stay attached (Design): drawn from a centre, corner or midpoint, they follow that shape.
- Mirrored copies stay mirrored: move or change an original, or the mirror line, and the copy follows.
- Shift+D shows or hides the dimensions.
- The tool's prompt sits above the History bar, and goes away with no tool chosen.
v0.7.0-beta.2
- Security update: the desktop app now runs on Electron 42, with the latest security fixes. Nothing should look or work differently.
- 454 Control works on a computer without 3D graphics: the 3D preview says it can't be shown, and everything else works.
v0.7.0-beta.1
- Version 0.7.0. Still a beta; betas count again from 1.
- A shorter way round the holes (Design): drilling, chamfers and profiles take a short route instead of the order picked; shapes inside others first. (cutting)
- Lift inside a part (Job setup): lift less between holes inside a part. Off unless set. (cutting)
v0.6.2-beta.67
- Keep lined up (Design): turn on the chain-link button in Align and nest, and Align keeps shapes lined up. A hole centred on a board stays centred when the board changes.
- Concentric, Same width, Same height, Same size: four new buttons beside Align's, done once or kept.
v0.6.2-beta.66
- Fixed: the Z nudge took minutes on long rows (Control). It waited behind everything already sent to the machine. Control now keeps only a few seconds of the job queued, so a nudge lands within seconds.
- The Z readout includes the nudge: it shows where the bit is.
- Every job is streamed this way now: air-cut your next one.
v0.6.2-beta.65
- Fixed: the Z nudge didn't move Z on some files (Control). On a file that gives the depth once, such as a surfacing pass, the Adjust panel changed but the bit stayed put. Z now moves straight up or down by the nudge, a few moves after you press it.
- In an inch file the nudge is in millimetres, as the panel says.
v0.6.2-beta.64
- Fixed: Resume after Pause & lift carries on where it stopped, waits for the lift, and greys out other moves meanwhile (Control).
- Z to +6 mm goes to 6 mm above your Z zero, as in Carbide Motion.
- Dimensions survive Fillet, Trim and Join; thickness slips (302 mm) are asked about; the open file shows in the header (Design).
- Ramps at the cutting feed, never coming down faster than the plunge rate.
- Window → Open at start: Design or Control, per computer.
v0.6.2-beta.63
- History steps can follow parameters (Design): an offset, fillet or array can use a parameter or formula, and changing it works the steps out again.
- Array is on the History bar.
- An easier History bar: an icon, a marker to drag, and right-click to change or delete a step, or remove the steps after the marker.
- Left-out toolpaths show faint in Control's preview.
