General improvements
- Recent work to optimise our calculation kernel has resulted in a significant general performance boost for the product. The impact is most noticeable in the more substantial calculations, such as toolpaths, verification, certain toolpath edits, stock model, ViewMill, and machine collision detection. Testing on toolpath calculations shows a performance boost of about 15% on average, with some timings for longer toolpaths being reduced by up to 25%.
- Calculation times for spiral toolpaths that use both the Redistribute option Point Distribution and the Automatic method of Collision Avoidance have been improved.
- When applying the Toolpath Limit edit operation with respect to a polygon, it is now possible for the limiting to be done with respect to the visible sections of the toolpath only, as viewed down the direction perpendicular to the plane of the limiting polygon.
