New in TonCut 7.1.21 Build 4445 (Oct 25, 2017)

  • We are pleased to inform about the new TonCut 7. The new version includes following changes:
  • Fixed problem with exporting cuts to PLT, HPGL and DXF files. The problem was occurring only when the sheet was rotated.

New in TonCut 7.1.20 Build 4443 (Oct 23, 2017)

  • Added support for veneering.
  • Improved readability of printouts.
  • Completely reworked label printouts.
  • Fixed an error causing duplicate materials and devices when loading data from SSI files.
  • Completely rebuilt piece editing window.
  • Fixed a very rare bug that might caused on some computers need to re-activate the program.
  • Significantly accelerated calculations. In particular, this is visible on computers with multiple processor cores. With one core the acceleration is about 10%, but with four cores the program calculates 5 times faster. With default settings, this acceleration can translate into deeper calculations - in effect the optimization time can be even longer, but much more combinations will be checked. That is the nature of our optimization algorithm. To reduce the optimization time, change "Dynamic change method" option to lower value - we recommend setting its value according to the number of processor cores:
  • 1 core - 15 seconds,
  • 2 cores - 8 seconds,
  • 4 cores - 4 seconds,
  • 8 cores - 2 seconds.
