***********************************
Application
***********************************
• You can now see that numerous application errors based on crash reports have
been fixed, and protection for various exceptions (crashes) to improve product
stability was added. See PCD-256656.

***********************************
Application Errors
***********************************
You no longer get application errors:
• When you answer “NO” to the message for probe repositioning and remeasure
when you measure a Notch Slot using the Find Hole method. See PCD-241081.
• When you use a child feature as a datum definition. See PCD-247705.
• When you enable Stable Probing for an AT901 Leica Tracker. See PCD-248487.
• When you execute a linear open scan with execution mode set to normal
(Execution=NORMAL) using a CWS probe. See PCD-249378.
• When you delete a block of commands that includes a geometric tolerance
command. See PCD-250166.
• When you delete a dimension that has its features deleted. See PCD-252288.
• When you cut and paste features in Summary mode with associated Geometric
Tolerance commands. See PCD-252651.

***********************************
CAD
***********************************
• You can now click and drag any of the section cut handles in the Graphic Display
window to modify the CAD Section Cut properties. See PCD-224078.

***********************************
Configuration
***********************************
• You can now modify the VolCompMethod entry value when you migrate your PCDMIS application. See PCD-252200.

***********************************
Constructed Extracted Feature
***********************************
• PC-DMIS now correctly generates a pointcloud point vector where the points are
along the line. This means PC-DMIS no longer excludes points that should be kept
when you use the Constructed Extracted Surface command. See PCD-245366.
• You can now set the BF_MATH_TYPE for a constructed extracted surface point
using BASIC scripting. See PCD-251709.
• You can now delete a selected hit when you press the Alt key plus the - (minus)
key when you create a Constructed Extracted feature from a pointcloud data with no
CAD model. See PCD-252229.
• You can now delete hits with the Alt key plus the - (minus) key combination
when you construct an extracted Round or Square Slot feature from a COP. See
PCD-252512.

***********************************
Execution
***********************************
• You can now see the media in the Operator comment message box when you
execute a measurement routine created from a template. See PCD-251971.

***********************************
Five Unique
***********************************
• PC-DMIS no longer modifies the Fxtserver.dat file when you restart the system. This
no longer results in a wrong fixturing location for the Five Unique systems. See
PCD-232240.

***********************************
GD&T Dimensions
***********************************
• PC-DMIS now restores the DATADEF command when you select the Undo icon
from the Edit Window toolbar after deleting a feature. See PCD-149333.
• PC-DMIS now correctly draws the tolerance zone for a cylindricity tolerance. See
PCD-242797.
• You can now see the expressions that use the .meas extension display the
correct (measured) value when referencing geometric tolerance commands. See
PCD-244140.
• PC-DMIS now correctly draws the tolerance zones relative to the datum reference
frame instead of the alignment origin when displaying graphical analysis for a
symmetry geometric tolerance command. See PCD-246687.
• 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.
• PC-DMIS is now updated to GD&T Library version 3.2.20231024. See
PCD-250396.
• You can now see the [DF] modifier for ISO in the Feature Control Frame Editor
when you select the Advanced Modifiers check box. See PCD-252670.
• You can now see that the Planar Zone Orientation vector no longer changes
when you close and open a measurement routine that includes a Geometric
Tolerance Planar position command followed by a recall alignment command. See
PCD-256173.

***********************************
Laser
***********************************
• PC-DMIS now correctly uses the assigned expressions to parameters in a Laser
feature when you use an HP-OW / CWS sensor. See PCD-250680.
• PC-DMIS no longer resets the Mesh command when you press F9 on the Mesh
command in the Edit window. See PCD-256648.

***********************************
Legacy Dimensions
***********************************
• PC-DMIS now updates the polar angle upper and lower tolerance to all the
dimensions with the same values you type in the Feature Location dialog box
when you click the Create button after you select multiple features from the Feature
List area of the Feature Location dialog box. See PCD-226504.

***********************************
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.

***********************************
Probes
***********************************
• PC-DMIS no longer overwrites the migrated settings with default values when you
install an updated version for the first time. See PCD-247065.

***********************************
Quick Features
***********************************
• PC-DMIS now displays the correct values when you create an Angle Point and the
part alignment differs from the CAD alignment. See PCD-248005.

***********************************
Reporting
***********************************
• PC-DMIS now generates a correct Excel output when you set
PREVIOUS_RUNS=DELETE_INSTANCES in a PRINT/REPORT command. See
PCD-248639.
• PC-DMIS now correctly displays the label of an Angularity dimension in a Text and
CAD report. See PCD-249934.
• PC-DMIS now shows the header correctly at the bottom of custom reports when you
use Report Expressions. See PCD-251791.
• PC-DMIS no longer removes report modification, specifically graphical analysis
modifications, in the Report window when you save and reopen measurement
routines. See PCD-252376.
• You can now export the results from caliper and radius gage measurements for
statistics. See PCD-252757.
• You can now see the correct measurement values in the Report window when you
open a measurement routine upgraded to a newer version. See PCD-255803.

***********************************
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.
• PC-DMIS now correctly retains the illumination intensity variables after executing a
measurement routine. See PCD-256668.
