New Tool editor with live geometry — a dimensioned profile appears as you edit the parameters, with cutting length, point angle and shank diameter. The 2D preview and the 3D dummy share one geometry source, so they can never disagree. Shank diameter for every tool type, including shanks thicker than the cutting edge (a micro cutter on a Ø6 shank). Full circles in a single block instead of two semicircles — the old split made many controllers decelerate at the seam halfway round. A "Split full circles" switch in the post processor restores the old behaviour where a controller needs it. Improvements Rapid approach before plunging: the tool rapids from clearance height down to 0.5 mm above the already-cleared level — the stock top on the first pass, the previous pass depth afterwards — and only the remainder runs at plunge feed. Saves real time on multi-pass contours, pocketing, circular pockets, drilling, carving and thread milling. The first peck of a drill cycle now benefits too; previously only the later pecks did. No more detour to clearance height when it gains nothing: when a pass ends exactly where the next one plunges — the normal case for closed contours — the tool goes straight on down. Island contours used to retract after every pass for nothing. Point angle now applies to end mills, T-slot cutters and face mills as well, in the drawing and in the finished part. Bug fixes Holding tabs were milled away by the finish pass. Automatic tab distribution existed in three places, each using a different tab length — the preview without the tool diameter, roughing with the roughing tool, finishing with the finishing tool. The tabs therefore sat in three different positions, and the finish pass kept its own while cutting away the roughing pass's. One shared source now: distribution depends only on the contour, the count and the visible tab length; the tool diameter only sets the width. A tab on the contour seam was cut through — twice over, by the entry plunge at the start of each pass and by a final vertical move at the end of the path. On a closed contour both are the same point. Ramp entry cut through holding tabs. The ramp now stays at tab height above a tab and resumes descending at the configured angle afterwards. A manually placed tab on the contour seam was clipped to half its width — and, because the span includes the tool diameter, often left nothing at all. Pocketing: the rapid ran through solid material. It targeted the pass depth + 0.5 mm instead of the level actually cleared, so on the first Z pass and with any stepdown over 0.5 mm the tool rapided into the stock. Contour with a gap too large to close: the pass ends away from the start point, but the next pass still plunged at the old place. Finish contour with lead-in/lead-out on a DXF circle: the tool ended a lead radius away from the contour and the next pass ramped from there. Phantom hole in the finished part at every seam with a holding tab — the old vertical move at the end of the path looked like a drill cycle to the hole detection. Tools could no longer be copied into a custom library by drag and drop.

**New in 1.3** * New tool type "Radius Cutter" (point roundover): round off edges the same way you chamfer with a V-bit — pick the tool, enter the roundover depth, done. Radius, center offset, and tip offset are independent tool parameters; works on both inside and outside contours. * The Finished Part now shows the roundover as a true arc profile — even for tools whose diameter is larger than the roundover area (the flat shoulder then visibly continues cutting). * New standard tools in the aniCAM library: V-bits (30°/60°/90°), five radius cutters, and three T-slot cutters. * Cutting length can be set per operation — directly in the operation dialog under the tool parameters (0 = value from the table). * Finer 3D tool display: double the resolution for all tool bodies; the radius cutter shows its side-cutting flute up to the cutting length. * "Reset" in the operation dialog now also pulls the current tool data from the table into the operation (including for tools from custom libraries). **Bug fixes** * Tool changes made in the operation dialog (e.g. diameter) now appear immediately in the Finished Part — previously only after a further action. * When opening a project, the window title and tab show the name of the opened .camproj file instead of the original DXF name. * Various stability improvements to the 3D simulation (Finished Part) for roundover tools.

Fixed: App icon had white (non-transparent) corners, visible in Dark Mode.

Bug Fixes in 1.2.1 (Build 852) Tiling: live preview. Tile copies now appear in the 2D canvas immediately when you apply or adjust a tile grid — including while the tiling dialog is open and the operations are still selected. Previously the copies only showed up after an unrelated action (changing the selection, clicking a contour, or reloading the project), which made it impossible to set tile spacing visually. Tool library: drag & drop. Dragging a tool onto another library to copy it now works reliably, including right after app launch. Previously the drop could be silently swallowed by the window's tab-drag handler until the canvas had been interacted with.

Finished Part preview: The 3D view can now show the actual machined result — computed directly from the generated G-code using a new exact solid-modeling engine (Open CASCADE Technology). What you see is what your machine will cut. Corner-radius tools: End mills can have a corner radius (bull nose / ball nose). It can be set per tool or overridden per operation, and the simulation shows true rounded fillets. Drilling and thread milling are included in the finished part, with optional true helical thread rendering. Hide waste material: A new toggle in the 3D view (next to Ortho) hides everything outside the part contours, so you see only the finished piece. Background rendering: The 3D result is computed in the background — starting right when a project loads — and refreshes when ready. No more black screen while editing; a render indicator shows progress. Per-project stock: Each project keeps its own stock dimensions; automatic stock sizing is more accurate. Holding tabs: The tab length you enter is now the visible length — the tool diameter is added internally. V-bit warnings: The operation dialog warns when a chamfer depth or center offset isn't achievable with the selected V-bit. Improved reliability: Faster recomputation when editing parameters, more reliable contour clicking in the 3D view, and various fixes for chamfers, dialogs and stock size.

Bug fix, expansion of milling cutter parameters. Improvement of the simulation display.

**New in v1.1.2** - New 3D result view showing the machined part as material removed from the stock. - Cleaner 3D view modes: switch between wireframe/path preview and finished result view. - Adjustable render detail for the result view to reduce load on older Macs. - Improved stock and toolpath preview with separate color and opacity settings. - More flexible stock sizing: contour only or contour plus outside cutter diameter. - Additional stock allowance can now be set separately for -X, +X, -Y, and +Y. - Stock allowance is included in the G-code header as information. - Warning when holding tabs are too small relative to the cutter diameter. - General improvements to holding tabs, stock display, and 3D simulation.
