* For example, the ROTATE was programmed at 90 degrees.  The custom move is 89 degrees - so the finish up command should be set to 1 degree to come to the full 90However, the finish-up command was 90 degrees - which caused the rotate to move to 89 + 90 = 179 degrees.<br><br>

* This problem occurred on benders where the ROTATE axis is set to a non-standard machine axis 3 because the machine axis number "2" was hard coded into the process list builder.<br><br>

Check.jpg ENHANCED: No Longer Clear Tool Data Page with TubeShape Clear

Previous versions of CNC Bender would clear the Tool page when the TubeShape page was cleared. This creates a problem in workflow, because the tool data is setup before the part is setup. Clearing the TubeShape page should never clear the tool page.

This issue has been resolved in this version.
