Release Information of best
IMAGE Patch 4.00/03
Solved CAD Bugs:
- Now supporting new generation 'Eye One' spectrophotometer with more spectral data.
- Skeleton performance improvement and bugfix.
- Edit drawing/cloning now working correctly during cursor increase decrease and color selecting ( pipette ).
- Photoshop plugin displayed an error if often opened/closed and crashed if a design was transfered to PS, deleted in bestIMAGE and then transfered back.
- Edit-AirBrush with pressure sensitive pen problems are fixed now.
- Rastermode 'Circle Equal' is working only with same Res X and Y.
- 'Drop plugin' also set drop into outputparameter.
- NetCom crashed at export losless, if there were masks in file.
- Import simulation file into 'simulation parameter' is now working and did not result in a crash.
- Edit Spline 'Use last point' is working correctly.
Solved CAM Bugs:
- Agrios: Laser-Parameter dialog now keeps current channel number after apply.
- Agrios: Laser-Parameter displays now correct parameters during switching from singlebeam to multibeam mode.
- Agrios: Axis X end switch array is now correctly activated for all retainers.
- EPU Machines. Error Writing Ramp at first engraving job fixed.
- Activating/Deactivating Z-Axis in configurable device is working now.
- Locking of serveral loaded files in CAM Plugin is fixed.
- EL4000 with automatic focus settings: Problems with Focustable are fixed now. Analog values for focus are interpolated exactly.
- Single Shot from Software does now work again on UCB EPU Machines.
- Jobfile path bugfix (mode: job-file only).
- Tailstock settings are saved correctly now (in former version position of left/right centerdisks and crashsensor are not loaded correctly from dev file)
- Removing of files on canvas area works now correctly in all situations.
- Improved handling of dev or cds files (file repair after input of invalid characters, detailed error message).
- Files sometimes were incorrectly merged, because the resolution has been wrong approximated (there were stripes in the engraving result).
- "No Rastercorrection for Endless printform" - Warning removed in case of 2 Level raster mode.
New CAD Features:
- New medium 'Screen on Plate' supported in output parameters to define job/output parameter for high mesh plates mounted on a magnetic drum.
- PrintToTiff is now able to generate an additional output file for external spooling software (e.g. Printer Connection).
- Due to compatibility issues (Printer Connection) it's also possible to vertically flip the output file.
- It is now possible to set a Stork profile to bestIMAGE's PrintToTiff RGB "file printer". This leads to color conversion during print process and allows calibrated printing (through "real" printers) with PrintToTiff RGB.
- Material calibrations don't change the device during save. Therefore a new button is implemented to change the device for material calibrations.
New CAM Features:
- Default mode for saving job files is now 'Complete job'.
- Import of old CAM Jobfiles is now possible.
- Engraving protocol is now stored under engraving job name instead of 1st file name.
Searching jobs with names (searched in filenames and jobname) is now supported.
- MAX4000: Machines with a new wax head of 256 jets are now supported.
- LEN4000: Focusposition remains valid unless fixing clamps are opened. This improves productivity since axis Z does not move to home position, when axis x is being moved. As long as fixing clamps are closed.
- LEN4000: Support for 'Tension roller' and 'Textile screens with endrings'.
- Circumference list for rotaMesh is editable and sortable and list can be exported and imported.
- Screen type list for rotaMesh is sortable.
- Abort possibillities of engraving jobs during startup phase has been improved, to react much faster.
- With new EPROM-Version 'L' (L4LA) Steppermotorfrequencies can be programmed.
Also during focussing with DC Motor, centerdisks are moved forward upon movement to front (even though drum is standing), so that suction does not interfere with focusposition (Sreen was attracted to nozzle previously. In fact Focussensor triggered too soon). Centerdisks remain in front position at least 10 Seconds after movement finished.
After changing the DeviceType (e.g.: LEN4000 -> MAX4000), default values (stepper frequencies, vacuum spread, temperature limits) are set to their defaults (This happens just on changing, not after setting the same devicetype!!!)
When axis z desired position variies > 256 Steps (1mm), an error (Repeatsensor) appears, indicating that the circumference entered within software does not match real circumference. This implies that the first time, machine is taken to operation, a valid value for calibration distance at a certain circumference needs to be given. Now this is mandatory else engravement is prohibited!!!
New CAM Features for Service Technician:
- Heartbeat feature can now be en/disabled at runtime.
Installation of Patch:
This Patch can only be applied on bestIMAGE 4.00/01 or 4.00/02 !
Download these 2 files into the same directory:
Patch.zip
In case of Windows XP: PatchSetupXP.exe
In case of Windows Vista: PatchSetupVista.exe
and double click on the downloaded file PatchSetup(XP/Vista).exe. This will start the Patch installation program which will guide you through the installation.
You have to close bestIMAGE before launching PatchSetup(XP/Vista).exe. The setup only was successful if you read a success message at the end of the installation !
If the installation can not be completed successfully for any reason, you have to completely uninstall all bestIMAGE software and reinstall it, otherwise an unstable configuration might be the result.
In rare cases it is necessary to manually remove the directory C:\Program Files\STORK-STK if the uninstallation program did not completely remove this folder, before you reinstall the bestIMAGE software.
