ENCY 2.5 — What’s New

ENCY 2.5 is out. This update delivers 130 changes focused on smoother day-to-day workflows and increased stability across machining, simulation, and platform features. Painting simulation: Faster visual feedback The part now renders directly during painting simulation, so you can see what’s painted and what isn’t without toggling part visibility. By default, the simulation shows which areas of the model will be painted (no paint-film thickness gradient). To evaluate thickness, enable “Verify compare” and set a color gradient against a reference. Automatic face selection: Two one-click helpers With a closed contour pre-selected, right-click a face on that contour to access: “Enclosed faces.” Selects all faces inside the closed contour (e.g., the faces of a profile pocket). “Outer adjacent faces.” Selects faces adjacent to the closed contour edges (e.g., edge fillets around the contour). These options cut multi-face picking down to a single action and reduce selection errors on complex pockets and blends. Swarf: Automatic axial-pass calculation In Axial passes, you can now choose to calculate the toolpath
