New Features

Automation Manager - Additional File Type Processing support


New File Types have been added to the list of
Supported CAD File formats. Automation Manager
now supports the following file types:

Solid Formats:

 Step format ( *.stp, *.step).


 SpaceClaim Solids (*.scdoc).
 CatiaV5 (*.catpart, *.catproduct).
 Creo NX (*.prt).
 IGES as Solids (*.ige, *.iges).
2D Geometry Formats:

 Adobe Illustrator (*.ai).


 PDF (*.pdf).
 Postscript (*.ps, *.eps).

Automation Manager - Additional File Flag applied during Processing


The ‘LicomUKljo_AutomationManagerFile flagged = 1’
Global Attribute is now applied to any file processed
by Automation Manager. This includes Nested
Drawings, Split nested Drawings, Part Files and Non-
Nested Part files.

Many Post processors are set up to look for this flag to


avoid Posted User Input.

Automation Manager - Styles - Use style relative path in Layer Mapping Setups and Machining Order
Using the full path to LicomDat or LicomDir caused
problems when users moved their location because
Automation Manager would then point to the wrong
location.

Using a relative path allows users to move their


folders without causing any problems.

The same issue can be encountered when obtaining a


support file from a customer. If the folder is not in the
same location on the target computer, processing and
machining order will fail.
Automation Manager - Support Zip File Improvements
The following files have been included in the support
Zip Utility:

 The .txt files when Posts use a .txt file.


 Fonts folder.
 *sheet_database_v2.db*.
