v12.12 - August 25, 2014

• Back to CNC Bender Software Updates
• See CNC Bender Customer Service Page for an update.

CNC Processor can control machine lube at a lower level. This enables machine lube to work even when other motion is occurring. These are the changes for machine lube in this version:

• Depending on the style of switch that indicates the lube is complete, lube complete could be configured to either HIGH or LOW. So now this feature can allow a machine lube switch to be active when it is LOW.
  
  
• In this version , when the feature is active, and the E-Stop is pressed, the lube is immediately stopped.
  
  
• New messages for the machine lube are posted in the Processor log in the CNC Bender user interface.
  
  

Previous versions of CNC Bender would allow characters in part names that made the part name illegal or caused problems to CNC Bender.

• This issue has been resolved in this version with a keyboard that will make the disallowed character buttons to disappear when in the filename mode.
  
  
• When these characters are pressed on the physical keyboard when this mode is active, then the key presses will be ignored.

The characters filter out are:

• < (less than)
• > (greater than)
•  : (colon)
• " (double quote)
• / (forward slash)
• \ (backslash)
• | (vertical bar or pipe)
•  ? (question mark)
• * (asterisk)
• = (equals sign)

The Custom Commands menu and Custom Command Editor would sometimes show an error when clearing the menu then re-entering the Editor.

This problem has been resolved in this version.

The location of the CNC Bender executable files can change depending on the application. The Program Loader can now run the CNC Bender program from any location - not just the standard "C:\CNC" folder location.

• Removed the second scroll bar on the right side of the File Load menu since it was redundant.
