NOTE: TPWIZARD2107 IS THAT LAST VERSION THAT WILL BE PRODUCED TO SUPPORT POWERMILL2521 AND EARLIER.

ALL FUTURE VERSIONS WILL ONLY SUPPORT POWERMILL3 ONWARDS.

This application provides a wizard interface for generating toolpaths in PowerMILL.
Only the main strategies of PowerMILL are included, to allow toolpaths to be generated quickly, and simply.

Toolpath may also be setup, and batched, on a PC not running, or not even licenced for PowerMILL. The batch file can then be saved, and transferred to a PC running PowerMILL, and the toolpaths calculated and post processed in one operation.

The latest version will support all PowerMILL versions after PowerMILL2495.

There is now a tool number field in the tool definition window.

TPWizard2104 now has the tool database object built-in. Click the tool database icon to start a new database session (you cannot connect to an existing one). You can then send tools directly into the wizard.

TPWizard2107 fixes some bugs with the decimal seperator, and now supports correctly, both the point and comma decimal seperators. Some post processing problems have also been fixed,
including support for INCHES, where before it would always default to MM.
