GibbsCAM 2027 Build 27.0.42.0 introduces the following bug fixes and enhancements.
Bug Fixes

• Resolved a Shrink Wrap issue when using Lathe MDD. (65750)(67049)/(776466)
• Fixed a missing Rotate button in the Operation Data dialog for Double Rotary Head configurations (AC configuration). (67073)(67080)(67081)/(794647)
• Fixed an issue where the Rotate button was unavailable in Op Data for eccentric parts using Double Rotary Table configurations (BC configuration). (67074)(67083)(67084)/(794647)
• Resolved a KeyNotFoundException crash in Document Control when switching the machine (MDD). (67085)(67086)(67087)
• Fixed the Mill feature's Retract Z setting when using "Same as Approach," which previously used a stored retract value instead of the current approach value. (67054)(67066)/(795036)
• Resolved a 5-Axis regression from V24 that caused multiple C-Axis overtravel errors in 5-Axis Operations. (67034)(67041)/(793727)
• Fixed a custom drilling macro that used an incorrect turning plane orientation. (66582)(67062)/(789995)
• Resolved an issue where Copilot response content could overflow the chat window boundaries. (66972)(67063)
• Fixed a crash that occurred when deleting grouped solids in certain files. (67060)(67064)/(795045)
• Resolved an issue where part images were missing from generated reports when the Start Maximized option was enabled. (67059)(67065)/(795086)

Enhancements

• Added LTHREAD_LAST_CUT_VAL, allowing macros to set this value. (67104)(67105)(67106)
• Improved Tools United flute-count handling. GibbsCAM now checks the first supported flute field and accepts either a numeric value or a string that can be parsed as a number. The first valid value found is used as the number of flutes. (67042)(67043)(67044)
