NCL/TOOLIB allows you to create and maintain a library of tools.
NCL/TOOLIB allows the following information to be stored for each tool:
• Tool number
• Tool description
• Cutter definition (mathematical definition used for tool motion calculation)
• Cutter display definition (used for graphic display)
• Cutter display parameters (moving or instanced, partial segments or full
segments)
• NCL/CADD symbol to be used as the displayed cutter or tool holder.
• NCL/CADD drawing file to be associated with this tool (used to display a
sketch of the tool)
• User defined command to be output each time this tool is loaded

New graphics engine in NCL

New graphics engine.
• Graphics are now always displayed in the back buffer only with the front buffer being updated directly from the back buffer.
-- This method does not display graphics as they are loaded or drawn thereby eliminating the flashing effect caused by frequent erasing and displaying of different areas of the screen.
-- All graphics will now appear at once on the screen when a unibase is loaded. This method results in a much cleaner display.
• The Display Buffer Modals form has been updated to match the current methods of displaying graphics.
To access this form choose Defaults -> Graphics Settings -> Display Buffers
• The “Buffer Copy” field determines the style to use when refreshing the graphics.
-- This field has two possible settings (Swap Buffer) and (Pixel Copy):
-- “Swap Buffer” swaps the back buffer with the front buffer. In order to use this mode, the graphics in the back buffer must remain unchanged when swapping the buffers. Most graphics cards on Windows systems support this feature (it may be a setting such as "Force Copy Swap"). Most Unix systems do not support this feature.
-- “Pixel Copy” copies pixels between graphics buffers.
• The “Erase Entity” field determines how a geometric entity is to be erased.

An Avoidance Entity option has been added to the FMILL command
• An Avoidance Entity can be any of the following geometry types: surface, plane, curve, line, circle. Up to 10 Avoidance Entities are allowed in a single FMILL command. Each Avoidance Entity can have an optional thick parameter.
Enhanced FMILL Boundary Control
• Added new AVOID option named BOTH that acts as a combination of the DOWN and the intermediate boundary retract.
• When using the BOTH or DOWN options the user can choose the direction of cut bewteen intermediate boundary sections.
• Added a Final Pass Feedrate option.
