What is new in 3.4.2.1 ?
- Minor improvements to optimization.
- A new example (in VB 2005 and Delphi 6) was added for manual arrange operations (moving a piece).
- C++ source code for registration from code.
What is new in 3.4.1.0 ?
- Better Nested optimization.
- Trim is taken into account by Nested optimization.
What is new in 3.3.1.0 ?
- Basic support for CNC machines has been introduced by the BasicCNC method.
- Help was moved to html format.
What is new in 3.3.0.0 ?
- Holes have been introduced for Repository sheets. No demand piece will be placed over a hole.
- Two new methods have been introduced for setting/getting the holes: SetRepositoryHole, GetRepositoryHole.
- A new parameter (NumberOfHoles) has been added to the following methods: SetRepositoryPiece, GetRepositoryPiece.
- Two new methods have been added for debugging purposes: SaveDataAndParameters and LoadDataAndParameters.
What is new in 3.2.0.1 ?
- The name of the following methods / properties has changed: StartNStages -> StartMultiStages, FirstDirectionNStages -> FirstDirectionMultiStages.
What is new in 3.2.0.0 ?
- A new algorithm for Multi-Stage optimization was implemented.
- The following methods and properties have been introduced: StartNStages, NumberOfStages, FirstDirectionNStages.
- The algorithm for 2-Stage implementation was removed along with the following methods and properties: Start2Stages, AllowZCut.
What is new in 3.1.9.1 ?
- The dependencies from Cut2DX have been removed. Now you may distribute only 1 dll with your application.
- Each piece (from Demand or Repository) has a priority. Pieces with higher priority will be cut earlier than pieces with lower priority. The list of parameters for the following methods has been modified: SetDemandPiece, SetRepositoryPiece, GetDemandPiece and GetRepositoryPiece.
- The manual arrange methods have been moved from Cut2DX to this component.
- Better optimization (several new heuristics have been introduced). Now you can obtain very good results even if you set the OptimizationLevel to 1.
- Cut2DXVersion property has been removed.
- ManualArrangeRemoveUselessCuts has been removed and it is used internally after each manual arrange operation.
- Advanced examples which can be easily transformed into a complex application.
- New examples in Visual C# 2005 and Visual J# 2005.
- Improved help.
