New features

• The Design Suite AI Assistant picks a real CNC3D TurboCut cutter for each part, matched to the material, with that cutter's feeds and speeds.

• AI chat takes attached pictures, PDFs and drawing files, and can bring a picture into your job as shapes, a 3D relief or a flat picture.

• Router lead-in and lead-out ramps for profile cuts, with defaults in the Router menu.

• Commander shows when a CNC3D Wand has control of your NightHawk and can ask the Wand to disconnect.

Bug fixes

• Probing wizard Z touch offset value mismatch has been fixed.

• V-bit finishing passes on 3D carves now use the right stepover instead of one worked out from the shank.

• Tiled exports now follow your post processor's spindle commands, and tool numbers in merged and tiled jobs match your tool library.

• 3D carve roughing no longer leaves strips along the walls, and a tool reused at a new speed now gets its new RPM.
