Release Notes for NCG CAM 18.0.13 - Date: 27th July 2022

8010: Import: There were occasions when reading surfaces from an IGES file with the Convert to NURB option, that some surfaces may not be read in, this has now been fixed.
8241: Triangulation: Fixed a rare problem where the surface quality could be worse for a tighter tolerance. This happened sometimes with very complex surfaces.
8261: Post processors: Heidenhain Master, ISO Master and Siemens Master: Added the option Output Tool name not Tool number to allow the tool name to be output in place of the tool number, in keeping with the main post processors. The default setting is false so existing post processors are not affected.
8267: Fixed a crash that could occur when loading a large database.
8310: Import: Fixed a crash that could occur when loading geometry files using a direct interface like Parasolid.
8316: Import: The Datakit libraries are updated to 2022.3. This supports the latest NX version 2027.
