In addition to new features designed to make NC programmers\u2019 jobs easier, nearly 500 customer-driven enhancements and software change requests have been completed in version 7.4. These updates utilize the latest technologies to enable faster processing speeds, longer tool life and increased part quality. Added features to the user interface simplify the most common user actions and significant developer hours have been invested to increase simulation speed by more thoroughly taking advantage of multiple processors and background processing.
\nThe enhancements in version 7.4 provide the speed that organizations need to rapidly release new part programs to the shop floor, train new users, and continually optimize workpiece quality. Changes to how users interact with VERICUT further improve workflow and simplify day-to-day NC programming and simulation use. VERICUT is constantly refined to provide the flexibility and tools you require. CGTech is committed to continually introducing technology to automate manual tasks and increase productivity and throughput.
\nEase-of-use Enhancements<\/strong>
\nIn version 7.4, the first change you will notice is a Welcome Screen that automatically displays when first launching a VERICUT session. The Welcome Screen provides access to commonly used first actions for a VERICUT session. The user interface continues to get more customizable. VERICUT\u2019s desktop is enhanced with a new docking method enabling the desktop to be configured in the most efficient manner. The new docking method is very flexible and provides a high level of customization possibilities. Additionally, the Status window is completely redesigned for better viewing, customization and size. The Status window information is divided into Information Groups, each containing a specific list of information. The popular \u201cFavorites\u201d feature, added in version 7.3, has been enhanced to automatically read all sub-folders in a directory and a Favorites file can be opened by double clicking on it.

\nThe Reviewer is enhanced with a new MDI option in the Analysis menu, enabling you to move machine axes interactively. This feature is available in both the Windows Reviewer and in the iPad Reviewer App. Additionally, a Tools window is added to the Analysis menu showing all tools used in the Reviewer files. Selecting a tool in the Tools window automatically sets the \u201cStart\u201d and \u201cEnd\u201d motion markers that are used to define the range of NC program records in the NC Program. Version 7.3 and later Reviewer files are now upward compatible.
