New Version released.

[ArtF]

Hi All:

  GM version has not changed in this download, GT has been updated to version 1.05. Fixes include some display issues in 4th axis
outputs. 4th axis rooting has been updated to include 2 radial rooting passes after normal rooting to clear below base circle for better
rooting of lower tooth count gears.
  Escapements module is updated for higher stability ( it really wasnt in release condition before). Data display now includes diameter of
Gear outside dimension. DXF output has "output shaft report" which outputs a dxf of shaft locations as well as overlayed parts for reference.

  The next modules to be done are Ratchets, followed by Noncirculars. This will undoubtedly take us into late January at the earliest. By
spring GM should be far in the rear view mirror with GT taking over all functions with some additional features added. Please report
any weirdness, more error reports are built into this version, I havent had many crash reports of late so I think their slowly going away.
(Though the last version had some bad code in escapements which could cause trouble.). 

Have fun,
Thx

Couple things.

Tool change is still in the output.  :)

The tool path is still off for my test 63 tooth gear.  (See screenshot)

Small update:  I just updated version to 1.93 which has calculators on the roundgear module to help figure out
setting for a set shaft distance or makeing a gear a set size..

I did a rough cut of the same gear from last time and I see the difference.

It did take forever to make that last cut at the bottom of each tooth.  A feedrate of 60 for the A-Axis means it takes 6 minutes to do a full rotation.  Maybe the A rotation could be at rapid.  Nitpicky, I know.

  Thx for that test, they do look better. It was your original display that drove me to add the radial cuts..I knew they had to go in at some point. :)

Ill look into the time on the bottom level...
