Revisions - Improvements for GO2cam 2026

Revisions are GO2cam versions mainly dedicated to fix software issues. Revisions are identified by numbers 1, 2, etc. and they are released approximatively once a month.

Minor improvements are sometimes added, they are described in this document. For the whole list of corrections, click here.

2026.7

Improvements

04 July 2026

Topic		Type	Subject	Explanation
	User Interface		Customize Toolbar	We added the Update command to the Customize toolbar. It gives the ability to create shortcut to launch the update.
	Wireframe Geometry		Segment	We modified the behaviour of chaining option: From version 2026.7, chaining creation of segments is the default behaviour. Popup menu then enables to cancel the chaining and we can be back to chaining with the same popup. And also, the option chosen is now kept while being back to the Segment function. Reminder: previously, the popup menu enabled to cancel the chaining, but with no possible turning back. And the next time you came back to the segment was in Chaining option to ON.
	Machining		Management of Collisions	From 2026.1, the option to test collisions with part was set to OFF by default. This option is available in the Machining tree, in each cycle popup. We decided to move the default back to ON from version 2026.7 and to name it ‘Control Collisions with Part’. As a reminder, this option had been greatly enhanced for version 2026. A new engine more efficient and faster has been developed. It enables this function to control the collisions for all types of cycles. Previously, only holes machining and rapids were checked. It also means that computing may be longer and that cycles will be set into ‘warning’ more often, because potential collisions are detected more efficiently.
	Simulation		Eccentric	We improved general dynamic simulation performance for eccentric turn cycles. Please note this improvement is used only with Simplified Machining option active.
	Turning		Broaching	Coolant parameter is now available in the broaching operation.
	5X Expert		Safety for 5X Expert	New behaviour for safety: if GO2cam safety plane is lower than the safety plane defined in the 5X cycle, we do not take it into account in NC file, as it is usually the case.

2026.6

Improvements

27 May 2026

Topic		Type	Subject	Explanation
	Wire EDM		Wires Library	Download of Wires The Wires Library Dialog gives now access to the GO2tool library, with 14 libraries available for download. This is the exact same window than in milling and turning.
	Swiss Machining / Turning		Form Finishing	New option in Form Finishing cycle We have added a new option ‘Tool Orientation’: it enables to compute a different toolpath, since we can define the projection orientation of the form tool. It enables to accede to different areas of the profile, such as undercut areas.
	User Interface		Files	Improvement of Add files The command ‘Add files’ now recover 5 axis expert cycles. But be careful to the axis defined in the cycle dialog, that may be changed while updating computing!
	Wireframe Geometry		Text	Single Stroke Font When you install a single stroke font, it is not recognized as single stroke by default. To make it possible, we added an option in the Text Command, with a checkbox that must be set ON.
	Tooling		Tools Update	Tools Update Enhanced Any modification in Tool page (diameter value, coolant, specific number) generates modifications in the Technology page of cycles using the updated tool. For instance, cutting conditions are recomputed, coolant numbers are assigned, etc.
	Simulation		Dynamic Simulation	Form Tools We have improved the management of form tools in dynamic simulation.

2026.5

Improvements

29 April 2026

Topic		Type	Subject	Explanation
	CAD Import		Multiple Import	We improved the assignment of names while importing several files or single file with several solids. Previously, the name of solid defined in the CAD file had priority on the file name. Now: If the solid has a name, we display: [file_name (solid_name)] If the solid does not have a name, we display: [file_name]. Also the file name will appear only in case of multiple files import; if we import a file with multiple solids, no need to repeat the file name for each solid!
	Measure		Shortcut	Measure is now accessible with shortcut Ctrl+m
	Machining		Safety Area	The sphere mode is not anymore a full sphere but an hybrid shape with a half-sphere on top and cylinder on bottom.
	Turning		Point to Point	The stock is now computed for a point to point operation.

2026.4

Improvements

02 April 2026

Topic		Type	Subject	Explanation	Video
	Measure on Solid		Angular Holes	Smart Turning Measure offers new information about angular holes: B and C angles values are given (in the Revolution Plane). Values are also accessible and copyable in the information dialogue.
	Finish Groove		Smoothing height	New parameter Smoothing height that generates a smoother toolpath by avoiding 'subpockets' and wave-types toolpaths.
	Tooling Menu		Unreachable Angles	Since years, unreachable angles are displayed in red in the list of workplanes: we have added a warning for these unreachable angles. This warning gives you the delta angle value that must be set in the tool to allow the machining. The values can be copied in the dialogue and set in the tool position settings.
	CAD Import		SpaceClaim	Read of new SpaceClaim format scdox. This format is more recent and compressed than native format scdoc.

2026.2

Improvements

12 March 2026

Topic		Type	Subject	Explanation	Video
	Machining		Extend profile / Change start point	New command that enables two types of Modifications of profiles: Extend profile from 2026.1 Change start point: runs on closed profiles only and enable to modify the start/end point of the operation
	Turning		Threading Profile Threading	In the strategy, we added a new choice for the Pilot Point: Left, Center or Right. Tool cursor is changed according to the selection, Toolpath, Dynamic and MTE simulations show motions on ITN point. Pilot points are displayed on the tool insert in the MTE Tooling menu.
	Milling		Safety Area	Multi axis linking between operations Linking between 2 operations using the same tool can be realized with a 5-axis simultaneous motion. For this, define a safety area (in Stock dialogue) and choosen ‘Follow 5Xs Area’ in the cycles strategy.
	Opelists		Import GO2cam File	The command that enables to import a PCE file to transfer the machining operations into opelists has a new behaviour: either you apply a single opelist from the operations programmed in the PCE file, or the new function creates several opelists executed one after another. We consider the folders, the grouped cycles and the opelists applied in the PCE file.
	3X Milling		Spiral	Toolpaths computing In the page Options, we have added the ability to ‘Decompose the arcs of toolpaths’. This will generate G01 segments in NC file instead of G02/G03 arcs.
