Powermill-2016 -

: A dedicated form was added to display live tool position data (tip, center, and gauge face) relative to various workplanes. This is accessible outside of the Dynamic Machine Control mode and updates in real-time during simulations.

: The "Adjust Overhang Only" option allows users to modify only the tool overhang during toolpath verification when collisions are detected. Specialized Machining Modules : powermill-2016

: This was the standout feature of the 2016 release. It allows users to mirror an entire machining project—including NC programs, toolpaths, boundaries, and stock models—with a single command. It automatically recalculates toolpaths to maintain the user's preferred cut direction (climb or conventional) for the mirrored part. : A dedicated form was added to display

: Users can now visualize "safe areas" and "plunge areas" as temporary transparent surfaces (red for rapid moves, blue for plunges). This provides a clearer visual guide of how the tool moves above the model. Specialized Machining Modules : : This was the

: A dedicated module for simplifying the machining of complex molds with deep, thin channels.

: New finishing strategies were introduced for the "Blades, Blisks, and Impellers" module to improve control and reduce cycle times.
