1. Job Wizard
The Amada Job Wizard has been added to 2011. A powerful module that combines nesting, job scheduling and remnant tracking, Job Wizard is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing third-party nesting systems.
The Run Time Estimate for parts and sheets can now be saved with the part and sheet file and is viewable in the Part and Sheet Information dialogs. In addition, parts and sheets can now be saved with Run Time Estimate information.
3. 32 or 64 bit System Support
To solve compatibility issues arising from the latest hardware releases, the CAD/CAM program has been enhanced to support 64-bit systems. During installation the user can select the 32 or 64 bit version. (See the AP100US Installation Guide.)
4. Enhanced Special tool assignment when using OLE with SolidWorks
CAD/CAM tool inventories can be assigned from the SolidWorks UI by clicking the Assign SP Tool button. This add-in module allows tools from a job shop inventory to be embedded.
5. Spline Pattern Processing Improvement
Spline Pattern Processing allows imported dxf/dwg files containing complicated splines to be stably converted into prt files in the CAD/CAM program. In addition to conversion, this feature may reduce processing time.
6. Template Report Design Enhancement
Working in conjunction with the new Job Wizard, template part and sheet reports can now be configured to display WO Number, Router Number and Estimated Run Time variables. These new fields allow data to be shared more easily.
7. Increased License Manager Protection Options
The License Manager allows an administrator to control license monitoring at the license server, conveniently controlling usage of license resources. (See the AP100US Installation Guide.)
