Thermwood ShopBot Link Update

6/16/10 - The latest version of the ShopBot Link is
1.0.18

You can download it here

Items included in this update

  • Flip Ops First - Flip Operations can now be completed on the sheet. Once operations are complete then the sheet is flipped so that parts may be completed. Information on this feature can be found in the manual by clicking the question mark button. The information is under Settings->Cut Parameters->Flip Ops First. (ADDED)

Changes/Additions for 1.0.17 (2/22/10)
(download this older version here)

  • Off-Fall calculations not obeying collar setting correctly. (FIXED)
  • Changing Table size making nest display incorrect. Now you must renest if table size is altered. (FIXED)
  • Added Sheets not nesting correctly if the sheet was made without a 0,0 point. (FIXED)
  • Off-Fall calculations not working correctly on Added Sheets and Off-Fall sheets. (FIXED)

Changes/Additions for 1.0.16 (1/12/10)

  • Ability to run ShopBot Link without a HASP key. This allows user to run the application, perform nests, and view portions of the code generated for ShopBot Control. It will not write to ShopBot Control without a purchased HASP key. (ADDED)
  • Cut direction backwards from setting for Dados/Pockets. (FIXED)
  • Pockets not generating proper code. (FIXED)
  • Drill holes on both sides but same location being recognized as a through cut due to tolerance set too low. (FIXED)
  • Dados on edge of part not cutting all material away. (FIXED)
  • Graphical display not showing material at corner of table. (FIXED)
  • Pocket clean up pass not cutting correct depth. (FIXED)

Changes/Additions for 1.0.15 (9/18/09)

  • Prevention for starting multiple help manual windows. (ADDED)
  • Application crash occurring during Write To ShopBot with jobs that include dados. This problem was introduced with version 1.0.14. (FIXED)
  • Dado/pocket cut direction backwards. (FIXED)

Changes/Additions for 1.0.14 (9/16/09)

  • Option for setting dado/pocket cutting direction separate from outline cuts. (ADDED)
  • Option for setting dado/pocket ramp in length separate from outline cuts. (ADDED)
  • Dado/pocket cuts not obeying ramp in length. Now if the first cut motion is longer than the ramp in length the ramp in will be done at ramp in length. (FIXED)
  • Cut through value not being applied to dado/pocket cuts. (FIXED)
  • Drill operations cutting deeper than material thickness. (FIXED)
  • Tool not retracting between max penetration cuts for interpolate operations to perform "peck" drilling. (FIXED)
  • Pockets on edge of part causing zero diameter error and missing outline cut. (FIXED)
  • Pre-ramp depth going to zero when the value is deeper than material depth causing lamination to burn. Now the pre-ramp will go to full depth in these cases. (FIXED)

Changes/Additions for 1.0.13 (8/21/09)

  • Grouped Parts not including Additional Part Clearance value. (FIXED)

Changes/Additions for 1.0.12 (7/8/09)

  • Cut Line nesting not leaving enough space for tool in perimeter cuts. (FIXED)

Changes/Additions for 1.0.11 (7/6/09)

  • Cut Line feature available. Creates a nest where parts are placed with common cut lines. (ADDED)
  • Tabbing feature not supporting Run Opposite Direction. (FIXED)
  • Now 1 or 2 tabs per part can be applied. (ADDED)
  • Female routs for Dovetail construction not offset correctly. (FIXED)
  • Double Pass terminology changed to Skin Pass to help avoid confusion since multiple passes could occur due to Max Penetration. (ALTERED)
  • Removed excessive machine motion on Blind Dados, Full Dados, and Tennon Dado cuts that reach the edge of a part and are pocketed. (FIXED)
  • Rotate Flip Operation dialog not displaying previously set rotation angle. NOTE: Any time you perform a Nest these values are set back to zero. (FIXED)
  • Rotate Flip Operations by 90 or 270 degrees causes the flip operation to be located incorrectly. (FIXED)
  • Ramp in motion being created on arcs which caused the operation to not get cut at full depth. ShopBot does not allow Z motion on arcs. Now a straight plunge will be performed for these cases. (FIXED)
  • A call to C7 (spindle off) was missing at the end of the last Flip Operation. (FIXED)

Changes/Additions for 1.0.10 (6/22/09)

  • Skin thickness getting cut away by Max Penetration calculations. (FIXED)
  • Feedspeed setting to zero on interpolation operations. (FIXED)
  • Labels being created for OffFall when No OffFall Cuts is selected in Settings. (FIXED)

Changes/Additions for 1.0.9 (6/9/09)

  • Jobs not containing dados not nesting. (FIXED)

Changes/Additions for 1.0.8 (6/8/09)

  • Not all materials getting nested (FIXED)
  • Dados not pocketing with tools smaller than half the width of the Dado (FIXED)
  • Header/Footer text getting cut off (FIXED)
  • Header/Footer ability for whole program (ADDED)
