What's new in NCG CAM 18.0.07
Just after the release of version 18.0.06 a problem with the compound cycles was discovered. That is why we immediately released version 18.0.07, in which this problem is fixed (7885). Therefore please consider the release notes for version 18.0.07 and 18.0.06.

Important:
We pointed out in the v17.0.07 release notes that the support for Windows 7 had ended in January (2020), and that while NCG CAM was still installing and running on Windows 7, we did not know for how long. It appears that time has now arrived, some of the libraries that we use are no longer supported or function on operating systems older than Windows 10. To use NCG CAM 18.0 you must have a Windows 10 operating system.

1385: UI: Reduced shininess to make surfaces more visible when viewed head-on.


4353: Cycles: The Dwell option is now taken into account when Post Processing Emulated Drilling Cycles.
7730: ModuleWorks: The ModuleWorks libraries have been updated to MW2021-08.
7872: Along Curve Passes: It was possible to created corrupt curves if the rotation model used for curve extraction differed from the rotation model for the passes. This has now been fixed.
7878: UI: Fixed the tool folder not being updated when running a macro
7885: Compound Cycles: Fixed a problem which prevented compound cycles written before 18.0.06 from loading into 18.0.06. Please note that compound cycles exported from 18.0.06 will not work.
