Phew!
That was more work than I thought!

I have decided to upload the new HSMAdvisor Release Candidate here.

Please check out the attached screenshot:

Dark is the default sceme. But you can switch to the "Light" scheme in settings by uncehcking "Use Dark Theme":

I still have to do some work to the "Light" theme to make things more visually appealing, but i think i did a lot of work with simplification of the UI.

Please find the download link below as this update is not yet available (and will not be) as an official HSMAdvisor release.

Also if you have nay feedback (good or bad) please Contact me!

IF you were wondering if i had fallen of the face of the earth, here is what i was up to.

I have been developing a new cleaner look for HSMAdvisor (see the attachment).

First thing you notice is the Dark background color. I plan to make that the new default background.

The color theme will be configurable to appeal to those who want to stay on the light side.

Label positioning will change to above the input fields, because it seems to make it easier on the eyes to associate the label and the field.

The Tool and Cut drop-downs will be removed along with the "menu" buttons on the right of them. Tool and Cut selection will be moved to "Load Tool/Cut" buttons.
I believe the Load Tool/Cut dialog to be the better option.

Tool Limits and Speed and Feed Overrides expandable panels will be merged with Gauges and Cut Data panels respectively.
This will further lighten up the interface.

Soon I will publish a test version for our users to try out before i make it an official update.

Do you have any feedback on the changes I am making?
Make it known, because it is supposed to be done for your convenience!

Best regrards!

New Dark Design Old Light Theme

So yesterday I published another update to FSWizard calculator.

Unlike the last times this one includes the FSWizard.com web app as well.

From this point on both the mobile and the Web app will be updated at the same time.

The update includes some bug fixes and new G-Code reference page, that will be updated with more codes as we go.

Cheers!

This update marks a major pivot in HSMAdvisor development.

Behind the scenes the groung-work has been laid for tight integration between HSMAdvisor and FSWizard.

Next steps will include sharing of the tool and cut data with the FSWizard mobile app.

Whats new in this HSMAdvisor update:

• New materials: DME Steel 1, 2,3 & 7 and others.
• Improved Machine Definitions: Program now does not allow to upload duplicate machines to the cloud: you need to clone your machine first.
• Fixed issues with acessing CutCloud Fixed labelling and incorrect cut filtering

Thank you, our supporters, for the continuing feedback and support!

Please download this critical update.

It fixes the "No Internet Connection" error that was introduced by our service provider changing its configuration and not telling us in advance.
