Unilink Onboard: Changelog 8.2

Wednesday, 5. August 2026|

New

  • The piece editor now displays a 3D view, a length view, and a cross-section view simultaneously, allowing pieces to be inspected from multiple perspectives without continuously rotating the view.
  • Selected machining operations are now highlighted in all three views at the same time. The length view automatically scrolls to keep the selected machining visible.
  • Machining operations can now be mirrored from left to right with a single click, making it easier to apply machining operations to the opposite side of a piece.
  • The mirror function is now available both in the machining toolbar and next to the X position field.
  • The machining list now displays an icon for each machining type, making machining operations easier to identify.
  • Remnant barcodes can now be matched using the profile name only. This supports setups where a series is not used.
  • The main OnBoard screen has been extended with an optional cross-section view next to the 3D viewer, allowing the profile section to be displayed while working.

Improvements

  • The piece editor view handling has been enhanced. View layouts are now retained, views can be re-centred by double-clicking, and the cross-section view includes an option to show or hide clamps on portal machines.
  • Locked machining operations are now indicated by a clear visual marker for all machining states.
  • Manual clamp editing has been extended. The selected machining is highlighted in the 3D view, conflicting selections between lists are prevented, and additional tooltips are available for buttons.
  • OnBoard can now utilise significantly more memory, improving the handling of large production lists.

Fixed

  • In manual clamp management, the 3D view is displayed correctly again after resizing. The view remains stable while moving clamps.
  • Adding a new piece while the 3D clamp view is active can be used again.
  • In OnBoard, memory usage now remains stable while loading pieces over longer periods.
  • When reopening a production list, bars that are already present in the spooler can no longer be added to production again.
  • In remnant piece editing, automatic tool assignment can be used again. In addition, machining icons are displayed with the correct status colour again.
  • OnBoard can be closed again immediately after confirming and closing the piece editor.
