  • Increased the size of the quick offset buttons on the main guidance screen for easier usability.

  • Fixed a bug that could cause linework on the plan view screen to appear to change while the machine was moving of if the viewpoint was changed.

  • Fixed an issue where the operation indicator was not displayed in the plan view screen.

  • For machine guidance only licenses, bucket weight in bucket calibration settings can now be skipped.
