DateAugust 14, 2007




New Persistent Inversion Sign

When inverting XYZ coordinates, operators requested that Benderlink for MiiC track and display the state of the inversion. This is indicated by a bright orange label that reads "INVERTED" on the XYZ menu.

The inversion state is persistent. This means that it is stored along with the file data in the Benderlink for MiiC data file format so that you can always know this state - even at a later date.

Any Number of XYZ Points Now Allowed

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.)

PART SPLITTING: Allowing for more points gives the operator the ability to invert and keep the end bends of parts with a higher bend count than MiiC can handle.
