PowerMill 2026 fixed issues
The fixes in PowerMill 2026.
| Toolpath fixes |
| A problem has been fixed that caused PowerMill to close unexpectedly when applying automatic collision avoidance on closed segments with unmachinable points. PMILL-22885 |
| A problem has been fixed that could prevent gouging points from being removed from the toolpath when applying automatic collision avoidance. PMILL-23036 |
| A problem has been fixed that could prevent colliding points from being removed from the toolpath when applying automatic collision avoidance. PMILL-22861 |
| A problem has been fixed that could result in fragmented toolpath when applying automatic collision avoidance to 4-axis toolpaths. PMILL-22630 |
| A problem has been fixed that could cause PowerMill to close unexpectedly when calculating a spiral Constant Z Finishing to machine undercuts. PMILL-22273 |
| A problem has been fixed that prevented the Projection Preview from updating dynamically in response to changes to azimuth or elevation angles. PMILL-22996 |
| A problem has been fixed that prevented the expected leads in from being added consistently throughout a Curve Profile toolpath. PMILL-22963 |
| A problem has been fixed that could cause Toolpath Verification to incorrectly report a toolpath as unsafe, following a change via Edit Within a Region to the Orientation Vectors only of a 3-axis toolpath that uses Redistribute. PMILL-22937 |
| A problem has been fixed in the tool tip-based version of Flowline Finishing that could truncate the passes corresponding to the start and end drive curves. PMILL-22589 |
| A problem has been fixed in Steep and Shallow Finishing toolpaths that could prevent smooth passes at the interface between Machine and Collision surfaces. PMILL-22626 |
| A problem has been fixed in Steep and Shallow Finishing toolpaths that could result in small spikes at the ends of passes. PMILL-22568 |
| A problem has been fixed in Steep and Shallow Finishing that could result in unnecessary toolpath when using a boundary that lies outside the specified block. PMILL-22186 |
| A problem has been fixed that prevented orientation vectors along leads and links from being aligned with contact normals. PMILL-21876 |
| General fixes |
| A problem has been fixed where a stock model failed to export successfully. PMILL-23016 |
| Customer error reporting (CER) fixes |
