Updated the script function 'NCPRotate' to allow rotation in any of the three planes. The mirror tool will now swap G41/G42 commands in the mirrored code. This setting has been added to the 'NCPGetPrefSetting' and 'NCPSetPrefSetting' scripting functions as 'AnimateTCPause'. Clicking the animate button again will resume the animation. There is a new preferences setting labeled 'Pause animation at tool changes' that when checked will cause the program animation to stop at the end of each tool's motion. When set to 'Sign indicates direction' the rotary axis will move to the designated endpoint in the direction indicated by the sign of the endpoint value.

When the shortest path option is selected the rotary axis chooses a direction that results in less than 180 degrees of movement. The two types are 'Take shortest path to endpoint' and 'Sign indicates direction'. The new option allows selecting one of two rotary command types. There is a new setting called 'Modal values to display', simply enter the letter addresses to be displayed next to the viewport marker.Р”Р„dded a new option to the rotary 4th axis configuration. The information to display is selectable and is defined on the Machine Configuration under the 'Viewport Settings' page. Additional modal information can now be displayed along with the location display next to the marker.

As their names imply these two buttons allow jumping the plot forward or backward one toolchange at a time.Р”Р„dded a modal value display to the viewport marker. The plot controls then will skip over any hidden parts of the backplot graphic.Р”Р„dded two new buttons to the plot toolbar, these buttons are 'Plot backward to previous tool' and 'Plot forward to next tool'. The tool list can now control the visibility of its corresponding tool path on the viewport, allowing individual paths to be turned off or on. These controls may be adjusted to see the effect that they have on machine run times.Р”Р„dded new functionality to the tool list toolbar. Rotary 4th axis motion was not correctly displaying incremental moves greater than 360 degrees, this is fixed.Р”Р‡ixed a display problem when rotation G68 and scaling G51 were applied at the same time.Р”Р‡ixed a display problem that occurs when multiple files are open and maximized then one is closed.Р”Р‡ixed several problems with DXF importing for lathe.Р”Р‡ixed a problem that was preventing NCPlot from being registered on machines that had Asian language packs installed.Р”Р„dded feed override and rapid override controls to the run time estimation page. NCPlot v2.22 is now available at - Tools for CNC Programmers
