Known issues with v11.01
-
When merging files with named elements or workplanes, if a duplicate name
is found, the first instance keeps the name, all others do not. Refer
to Technote.176
for an explanation of how to have SmartCAM automatically rename elements
and workplanes that have names matching existing geometry.
-
When merging files that cause the application to exceed 1,024 work planes
the following nonstandard error message appears: "WKPLN03"
