Initial SmartCAM v13.0 Applications Released

April 4, 2006 - Eugene Oregon - SmartCAMcnc has announced the release of Production Milling v13, and CAM Connection v13.

Highlighted improvements to the entire suite of CAM software applications include:

  • Hide Selected/Unselected — allows any element or set of elements to be hidden using the group tool – no need to mask an entire Layer or Step
  • Display Filters — allows hidden, masked, and surface elements to be removed from the list view – quickly reduce the sequence list to visible toolpath elements
  • Container Elements — collapse a sequence of many elements into a single named and described element – reduce sequence complexity and further documents process
  • Dynamic Viewing — use mouse button Zoom/Pan/Rotate controls – quickly change view in a single viewing mode
