HSMAdvisor Version History

HSMAdvisor v3.0.6

May 18, 2026, 11:17 pm by admin

What’s new in this update:

  • Expanded stainless steel material coverage with new groups for free-machining, ferritic, martensitic, PH, austenitic, duplex, hardened, PM, and specialty stainless alloys.

  • Improved Cutting Speeds for all stainless steel materials.
  • Improved CutCloud sync so re-imported or locally newer tools can restore previously deleted cloud tools instead of being removed again.

  • Made cloud library ownership more predictable when moving tools, disabling cloud sync, or re-enabling cloud sync for a library.

  • Added clearer tool library pickers with alphabetical ordering, a separate “My Cloud Libraries” section, duplicate-name validation, and optional cloud sync during library creation.

  • Updated copy, move, merge, and import flows to use library selection dialogs instead of plain text prompts.

  • Improved plugin and XML re-imports so matching tools are updated in place while keeping their library assignment.

  • Prevented unsupported or incomplete tool records from being loaded into the calculator, avoiding invalid tool selections.

Previous update:

  • Fixed Permanent License automatic registration XML error.
