Fixed several issues in which toolpaths were not being invalidated when specific parameters were changed: Safe Z, Origin or Chuck Front in a turning setup, Entry and Pre-drill positions, Bottom Height 'from selected point'.Fixed an issue in which the stock contours preview was incorrect when another tool orientation was selected in the operation.This can be used to correct expanded gun-drilling cycles. Post Processor: A new variable 'machineParameter.spindleSpeedDwell' has been added which specifies a dwell time in seconds when the spindle speed changes during a drilling cycle.There are also corresponding 'axis.getReset' and 'tReset' functions. A 'reset' parameter has been added to the createAxis function, which can reset the current rotary axis position to zero prior to scanning the section for the optimal rotary starting position.


“ASCENT’s Inventor curriculum has benefited countless design professionals over many years,” says Paul Burden director of product development, ASCENT. The hands-on, practice-intensive content teaches key skills and knowledge required to take the 3D model, set it up in the CAM environment, and assign the toolpaths needed to generate the code required by 2D milling machines. ASCENT- Center for Technical Knowledge announced the release of Autodesk Inventor 2020: Introduction to 2D Milling, its newest title available in print and eBook formats for students and instructors, and in ProductivityNOW for self-paced eLearning.
