Pathfinder; Updates to Clamp Closed Position in Step Changes
Pathfinder

Changes made for Pathfinder V5 PC's.

Two things changed:

The Clamp Closed Position field in the step list is now read-only. Previously you could manually type a value into that field for Normal Bend, Radius Bend, Shear, and Close Hem steps. Now it's calculated automatically based on the clamp pressure and material thickness — you can't edit it directly anymore.

Changing Parameter 314 (Clamp Minimum Height) now automatically recalculates the Clamp Closed Position across all steps. Before this change, if you adjusted Parameter 314 on the machine, the clamp closed positions in existing steps wouldn't update — you'd have to reload the profile or manually fix them. Now Pathfinder recalculates every step's clamp closed position immediately when Parameter 314 changes.

Bottom line: You control clamp closing through the Clamp Pressure setting in each step. Pathfinder figures out the actual closed position for you. If you recalibrate the clamp minimum height (Param 314), all steps update automatically.
