StairDesigner 7.17d is now available to download.

This includes:

  • Format4 post processor update to extend riser and step notches on the newels and stringer ends, configured on the tool level; this ensures the nesting geometry is fully squared off.
  • Format4 newel export feature added (one or two exported files per part) for more efficient newel manufacture on your CNC.
  • Fix for pocket emptying function with the Biesse post processor.
  • Measuring tool fix.

The two Format4 extension and newel export features are shown below:
