Changes made for Pathfinder V5 PC's.
The Blank Production screen now shows live machine feedback along the bottom of the window — the same readout you already see on the operations and One Step screens.
What you'll see:
CB — clamping beam position BG — backgauge position LB — bending beam angle Shear — shear/slitter position RA (radius adjust), BG2, and clamp pressure appear only on machines equipped with them Why it matters:
While cutting blanks, you can watch the backgauge move to each cut position and see the shear cycle in real time — no need to close the dialog or walk around the machine to confirm what the axes are doing. The readout stays live during an automatic run, even while the rest of the screen is locked. When you open the dialog, it immediately shows the current positions, not zeros. What hasn't changed: everything else about Blank Production works exactly as before — sheet width, blank width, quantity, remainder selection, and the run button are untouched. The display is read-only; it doesn't add any new controls that move the machine.
