Release Notes - 2023.2 SP5

*************************
Application Errors
*************************
• You no longer get an application error when you press F9 to edit a location
dimension with a D axis when no input feature is defined. See PCD-257454.

*************************
Auto Features
*************************
• You can now see that the Cylinder Ending Offset smart parameter remains disabled
after you create a feature and remains disabled throughout any subsequent edits to
that feature command. See PCD-255835.
• PC-DMIS now correctly draws the clipping zones when you import a DMIS file. This
means PC-DMIS now correctly creates Laser Auto Slot features when you import a
DMIS file. See PCD-256163.
• You can now disable the Cylinder Ending Offset smart parameter using the
EnableEndingOffsetSmartCalculation registry key. See PCD-256797.

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

*************************
Documentation
*************************
• You can now see that when you run PC-DMIS and you have it set to use the
online help, when press the F1 key for help, the help opens from Hexagon’s Nexus
Documentation Center (NDC) site. See PCD-257401.

*************************
Dual Arm
*************************
• PC-DMIS now supports the MCR20 probe for dual arm machines with CW43L
wrists on DC4K controllers. See PCD-257451.

*************************
Environment Configurator
*************************
• You can now choose to start PC-DMIS in Online mode from the Environment
Configurator after PC-DMIS was previously running in Offline mode. See
PCD-256010.

*************************
ESF (VWMP)
*************************
• You can now see the correct computation of the Flush measurement for ESF
(VWMP) Optical features when the actual Gauge cloud is at a greater height than
the actual Master cloud. See PCD-257062.

*************************
GD&T Dimensions
*************************
• 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.
• PC-DMIS has improved the import of PMI CAD models. This provides better support
for Geometric Tolerance commands. See PCD-255885.

*************************
Laser Feature Extraction
*************************
• You can now see all the segregated points in the Graphic Display window when
you use the Max incidence angle filter and there are two overlapping pointcloud
patches in your measurement routine. See PCD-257238.

*************************
Moves
*************************
• PC-DMIS no longer moves the tip to the ClearanceCube when you execute a
Readpoint in Manual mode. PC-DMIS now treats a Readpoint as a constructed
feature, which means that it no longer has any ClearanceCube settings and
associated motion. See PCD-255532.
• PC-DMIS no longer moves the tip to the ClearanceCube after every hit when you
perform a basic scan with a tactile probe. See PCD-255598.

*************************
Pointcloud
*************************
• PC-DMIS now accurately performs pointcloud auto alignment with the refine max
distance. See PCD-241297.
• PC-DMIS now correctly exports Pointcloud data to a .PSL file when the size of the
pointcloud exceeds 4 GB. PCD-257254.

*************************
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 shows the header correctly at the bottom of custom reports when you
use Report Expressions. See PCD-251791.
