===Any Number of XYZ Points Now Allowed===
+
== [[image:Check.jpg|25px]] NEW: Eaton Leonard Laservision Communication==
  
−
The previous limit was 52 points because Supravision would only allow up to 50 bends. However, we've opened that number up so that it can now expand to any value.  The internal memory for the MiiC XYZ data expands to allow for any point count that can fit into memory.  The incoming Supravision part data can be any bend count, and Benderlink will handle it.  (Not all programs can create a Supravision file with more than 50 bends.  Our newer software packages can - like the latest version of [[TubeCAD Pro]].)

−
<b>PART SPLITTING:</b> The benefit of allowing for more points  is the new ability to invert and '''keep''' the end bends of parts with a higher bend count than MiiC can handle.  This means that data is not lost inside Benderlink for MiiC even if it exceeds the capacity of the MiiC control.
