Release Notes - 2023.2 SP3
*********************************
Application Errors
*********************************
You no longer get application errors:
• When you enable stable probing for an AT901 Leica Tracker. See PCD-248487.
• When you delete a block of commands that includes a geometric tolerance
command. See PCD-250166.
*********************************
Auto Features
*********************************
• You can now use the Max incidence angle filter to create a stud feature when you
mark the Ring Band check box in the Auto Feature dialog box. This allows you
to filter out points with normals outside a specified angle when you extract a stud
feature from laser data. This filter is particularly useful for data scanned from both
sides of a sheet metal part and acts only on the planar portion of the pointcloud
data, leaving the cylindrical portion unfiltered. See PCD-241367.
*********************************
Constructed Features
*********************************
• PC-DMIS now correctly retains the input of a constructed curve in the Edit window
when you copy a constructed curve including the input command and select the
Edit | Paste With Pattern menu option. See PCD-250517.
*********************************
GD&T Dimensions
*********************************
• PC-DMIS now uses the CAD elements of a linked GD&T reference when you
use GD&T Selection Mode (from CAD) and the selected GD&T callout has no
associated CAD elements. See PCD-199699.
• PC-DMIS now correctly draws the tolerance zone for a cylindricity tolerance. See
PCD-242797.
• You can now see that an expression that uses the .meas extension returns the
same value when it references the Geometric Tolerance command as it did when it
referenced the Xact Measure command. See PCD-244140.
• PC-DMIS no longer changes the measured value of a profile of a surface to nan in
the Edit window in Command mode when you select the FILE | Export | Part Model
| STEP | STEP AP214 menu option. See PCD-249034.
• PC-DMIS no longer displays an error message in the Geometric Tolerance dialog
box when you create a perpendicularity tolerance command between two 3D lines
created using laser auto Surface Point features. See PCD-249659.
• PC-DMIS now correctly stores the CADToPart and MachineToPart transforms of
a child feature from Adaptive Cone Line Scan, Adaptive Cylinder Line Scan, and
Adaptive Plane Line Scan strategies. You no longer get an error message stating
that the child features are out of sync when using them to create a geometric
tolerance command. See PCD-249966.
*********************************
HxGN Robotic Automation
*********************************
• The HxGN Robotic Automation Connector application dialog box now opens
when you click the left-most green Connector Application button in the
bottom-right corner of the HxGN Robotic Automation application screen. See
PCD-250189.
*********************************
Laser Feature Extraction
*********************************
• PC-DMIS now has improved behaviour for the incidence angle filter when extracting
studs (external cylinders) from thin sheet metal parts with pointcloud data on both
sides. The filter now excludes data from the lower surface during feature extraction.
See PCD-248468.
*********************************
Measurement Strategy Editor
*********************************
• PC-DMIS now correctly retains the selection of the Ending Offset smart parameter
when you click Save or Save As in the Measurement Strategy Editor dialog box.
See PCD-250180.
*********************************
Moves
*********************************
• PC-DMIS now utilizes the machine arm position instead of the tip location for
safe moves when the measurement routine contains a LOADMACHINE command.
This means PC-DMIS now correctly inserts clearance moves automatically when
you enable Auto Insert Moves with Feature Creation and Collision Detection. See
PCD-250547.
*********************************
Reporting
*********************************
• PC-DMIS now correctly displays the label of an Angularity dimension in a Text and
CAD report. See PCD-249934.
• PC-DMIS now correctly uploads the tracefields data to the Metrology Reporting
Cloud when you execute a measurement routine. See PCD-250021.
*********************************
Scanning
*********************************
• The Variable Scan Speed functionality is now available for the HP-L-10.10 LITE
sensor. See PCD-250313.
*********************************
Vision
*********************************
• PC-DMIS now correctly applies the filter and enables the Show Filtered Points
icon when you select the Nominal Form filter type in the Hit Targets tab of the
Auto Feature dialog box. See PCD-233817.
