This release is mostly to address bugs and minor issues, but we've added a few improvements as well. If you are running 1.2.00 to 1.2.03 we highly recommend you install the 1.2.04 version.
1.2.04:
- CutBuilder now forces shapes to run in generated order if no optimizations are enabled
- Bugfix: Tool layers could cause later multi-layer cuts to run out of order
- Bugfix: Restored missing German language file
- Bugfix: Ruida cut-through delays would affect later layers (RDWorks does this too)
- Bugfix: image merging (whole layer or by group) was broken
- Bugfix: Close Path could hang
- Bugfix: Fixed framing of tool layers / disabled output layers
- Bugfix: Warning pop-up in Cut Builder didn't let you continue because of the progress bar being "on top" of it
- Bugfix: If a small shape set to Offset Fill didn't generate anything, it could crash
1.2.03:
Bugfix: Identified a missing startup command for Raycus and IPG fiber devices that would result in lower power output.
1.2.02:
Improvements:
- Auto-join works better - will join more things, and do it faster.
- Close Shapes now works if anything in the selection can be closed - previously everything selected had to be "closeable"
- 'Start From' & user grid settings now saved per laser
- Fillet tool now accepts negative radius numbers
- Improved grayscale output for galvo / fiber (removed unintended pauses)
- Updated DXF importer to support dash patterns on LINE objects
- Added "laser busy" status output for galvos
- Added support for 'Clustered' GCode to GRBL devices (Ortur and Tim Rothman firmware updates will be supporting this)
Bug fixes:
- Fixed WIFI sending to Ortur LM3 and others using Telnet protocol
- MUCH better filtering of 'Start Marking' trigger for galvos
- Framing with virtual arrays and disabled layers now works
- Galvo framing wasn't properly ignoring out-of-bounds shapes in non-rotary mode
- Cut Shapes could put inner / outer shapes in wrong result
- Ensure all settings get saved before adding new sub-layer
- Crash when using 'offset fill' with material test generator
- Nested ()'s in text strings could crash PDF import
- Flatten array was not deleting the virtual array
- Galvo was not respecting Min Power for grayscale image mode
- Grouped shapes now retain selection order in the group (useful for ordering images)
- Cut builder / optimizer rewritten to correctly handle inner/outer sorting with multi-layer cuts, or when Order by Layer is not used
- Shape close / join code is now much more robust
- Trocen Ethernet connection wasn't respecting Network Timeout setting
- Don't show certain options in galvo cut settings when Beginner Mode is enabled
- Cluster generator fixes for stray lines
- Don't re-write material height field if user is still typing it
- Fixed .AI import issue (freeze when files contained large blocks of null data)
- Variable text was not rendered correctly when inside a group in a virtual array
- Variable text works properly now in galvo rotary mode
- Material test generator was not working with linked cut settings
- Added scanning offsets to new Flood Fill code
