v4.18 release notes

- Reactivated the DXF Import feature in Intercon with improved DXF import library

- Fixed issue where axis pairing was not available under any conditions.

- Fixed issue where laser measurement was not working regardless of license type or trial code.

- Fixed issue where the prompt "Press CYCLE START to continue" is not displayed when executing an M0 command if M0 jogging is available. When M0 jogging is enabled, the message "Press CYCLE START to continue (jogging enabled)" is now displayed.

- Fixed issue where the 4th axis was being set to 'N' (disabling it) when entering the Motor Parameters menu. It does prompt for changes on exit, so one can discard those changes if they were just going into the menu to look at values. Otherwise, the workaround would be to make sure you set the label again before saving changes.

- Re-enabled the setting of P500 = 1 to allow G43.3 and G43.4 to remain active when exiting MDI or running job.

- Fixed bug in the VCP where PLC memory wasn't able to be used to set LED state.

You will have to reset any MPG related parameters, see the New Parameters Guide attached to the instructions PDF below
