CAM
+Added function to import files (.cdr, .pdf, .bmp, .dxf, .jpf, .gif, .png, .plt) to "Gravurlayer"
Before import, App shows a preview of the current file
+Added support to align shapes in reference to center or border
+Added support to change position or size of the align object (e.g. align shape in user defined area)
+Added a object manager in app ui:
Show all shapes, contours, layers of current CorelDraw page/document
+Added support to move selected shapes on a help layer, which will ignore in generate the gcode
All shapes on this layer will ignore through the generation of the gcode program
+Added CAM settings: G-Code-File will generate with this user defined settings/lines
Programm_Start: At the beginnging of the G-Code-program
Programm_End: At the end of the G-Code-programm
Contour_Start: Before a single contour will engrave 
+Solved bug with import path from ini file: app crashes if directory not exists

​

CNC
+Added show current calibrated radius for rotation axis (Y-->A mapping)
+Added/Changed surface measurement algorithmus: Now it is possible to measure (probe) round workpieces
Only measure points in/on the workpiece will measure (measure points outside will ignore)
+Added selection for the measure point for zero Z-Axis (Z-Auto)
On this point, machine will zero the Z-Axis
+Added informations about the measurement range: number of measurement points
+Added progress bar and passed time for the current surface measurement (statur for measurement)
+Added visual representation of the finished surface measurement:
All measurement points will plotted three-dimensional in a 3D-Room
The measurement points are conected with a grid
+Added support for import/export/activate measurement data (for Z-height-compensation)
+Added support for import/export 3D point cloud (Plot 3D)
+Added progress bar an passed time for current cnc-job
+Added show number of current cnc-job line
+Added support for start a cnc-job from user defined line (e.g in middle of gcode)
Therefore any line in gcode will search and show/render in 3D-Room
If line is searched successfully then job can start there
All axis and spindle will synchronizie automatically
+Added check for start a job, if a newer job is generated
+Added Z-Auto correction:
This is a correction value for zero the z-axis (negativ/positv)
+Solved bug with loading/import a measurement file (zheightcomptable)
+Added CncServer.exe and important files for machineControl to install directory from gCodeGenerator:
User can choose the Cncserver.exe work directory (default-->gCodeGenerator or user defined-->e.g EdingCNC directory)
+Added window message in cameratool, if a new X- and Y- zeropoint is set
+Remove auto scale algorithmus in cameratool for scaling a picture and load it in CorelDraw
+Added new camera settings: 
Activate/deactivate auto focus
Crosshair with circle, which is selectable in size

CamDRAW 1.1.0

05-29-2020

General
+Added new modern App UI
+Added support for CorelDraw Standard 2020

​

CAM
+Added new node algorithm
Static: Add/Remove nodes in center of segment
Dynmaic: Add/Remove nodes dependent on curvature and segment length
Therefore: Settings parameter segment_length and curvature added to DockerUI
+Solved bug with missing cutting planes
+Solved bug with application crash, if window "Viewport big" is open and user changed engraving mode
