Hi FSWizard users,

We’re excited to share a sneak peek at something we’ve been working on:

A brand new technical drawing and dimensioning engine is now live in the web version of FSWizard!

You can see it in action here:
Drill Point Calculator

This new library powers the clean, precise visuals you see in our geometry calculators and reference pages. It's designed to improve performance, clarity and make reading geometric features easier than ever.

We're rolling it out to all platforms soon, but for now, it’s available on the web app only. We’d love for you to explore it and let us know what you think.

If you run into anything unusual, feel free to send us a bug report or suggestion - we’re actively polishing the experience.

Thanks for helping make FSWizard the go-to tool for machinists everywhere!

Cheers!
Eldar Gerfanov.

The FSWizard app, available on iOS, Android, and web browsers, recently received a substantial update for its G and M code reference page.

This update includes the addition and updating of the most commonly used Fanuc G and M codes.

Notably, the G code within the sample snippets is now highlighted, enhancing readability.

You can download the update from: https://fswizard.com/

or access it through your web browser: https://app.fswizard.com/#/GCodes.

Thank you to everyone who keeps sending suggestions and feedback!

Cheers!

I have just released a big update for our HSMAdvisor for MasterCAM.

Great news for our many Fusion 360 users!

Starting with HSMAdvisor v2.1.0, you can import HSMWorks hsmlib files into the HSMAdvisor database.
Holder import is not yet supported, but I will add it in one of the next updates.

Please have Fusion export the tool library in HSMWorks .hsmlib format

Not sure what to do with allowing HSMAdvisor to export tools into F360...
Please let me know if you are interested in this functionality, and I will work on it.

Take it for a ride and let me know if there are any issues with it!

F360 Tool Database Import

I just uploaded a new standalone and Mastercam 2021 hook version of HSMAdvisor Machinist Calculator.

In it fixed the issue with the loading of older database files and updating DB UI.

Also from this point on HSMAdvisor will switch to Semantic Versioning in the following format: major.minor.build

• Major: big update that makes older version non-forward compatible.
• Minor: a minor update that does not break any existing functionality
• Build: a bug-fix that does not add new features, but fixes the existing ones

Check out the latest version here: https://hsmadvisor.com/?page=Download

Have an enjoyable and safe weekend, everybody!

In version 2 we tried to keep the familiar layout of HSMAdvisor.

HSMAdvisor 2 is currently at the "Release Candidate" stage.
Every month I will be publishing an update that will reset its trial counter, so people can use it for free until it is finally production-ready.

The best thing of all is HSMAdvisor 2 license is completely compatible with its predecessor!
