NC Program Review Enhancements
A new “NC Program Preview” offers an option to process an NC program in VERICUT without actually simulating material being removed. This “quick check” is very fast and uses much less memory. When in preview mode, VERICUT displays a tool trace of the NC program over the design model. At the end of the preview VERICUT enters NC Program Review mode. Preview checks for collisions, gouges, minimum excess and instances where axis limits are exceeded.

Several new utilities have been added to the NC Program Info window. These include: a Calculator, and user-configurable text Coloring, syntax checking and block renumbering options. The syntax check enables you to check the NC program for syntax errors based on a user defined set of criteria. This feature is also accessible from the NC Program Review editor. You can turn On/Off VERICUT defined syntax checking rules (error conditions) and define custom syntax checking error conditions. For those who manually create and edit NC programs, you can now position your to ol on the part using the MDI window and transfer the created NC blocks directly into the NC program.
New Tool Setup Wizards
Complimenting the milling tool setup wizard introduced in VERICUT 6.0, a turret setup wizard has been added. The new Turret Setup enables you to easily load, change tools, or change tool positions in a turret. You can also easily create a swept model of a turret.

The Tool Manager has also been enhanced to enable you to describe the shape, position, and orientation of a waterjet cutter or a tap in a tap tool assembly.
