1.545: A Quick Usability Release for G-Wizard Calculator

Sep 10, 2011 // by page.lysupportadmin // Blog, Software // No Comments

Release 1.545 is a usability fit and finish release. It’s been a while since we had a GWC release, and I have a pretty big feature in the works (Notebooks), but I didn’t want to hold up these user-suggested revisions for that:

- Stickout is no longer locked when selecting a Tool Crib tool. It takes its default value from the Crib, but you can change it if you need to. Thanks Joe!

- The slot number (T# for a g-code program) appears on the item name for Tool Crib tools so you can easily see which one you’re using when programming or working with your CAM package. Another one from Joe!

- Added a dedicated button to set up all the particulars for the MeshCAM integration. For MeshCAM users, this lets you set up clipboard copies from Feeds and Speeds in a format that MeshCAM understands. Got another CAM integration waiting in the wings for an announcement from the CAM manufacturer too!

- Fixed a nasty bug that made all the cap screw data disappear in metric mode. Sorry George!

- GW will now remember if it was maximized when closed and will restore that status the next time it is opened. Thanks Grant!

Expect another release of GWC fairly soon with Notebooks (add your own custom data to G-Wizard’s Quick Ref section) and perhaps a little more.
