1.Changed all Config files to INI from cfg files. (72063) If a Config file exists, 3DCS will read from the Config file. After close, 3DCS will create a new INI file.
a.Changed all Batch Processor to look for INI extensions, instead of CFG files.
2.Excel Export changes:
a.Added the third features information to Excel for the Pattern-Fit move (69239).
Added the third features columns to apply to the Pattern-Fit Move.
3DCS Version 7.9.0.2
1.Excel Report changes (71392)
a.Removed ASCII .39 (') from TableSimu and TableSens ranges
b.Changed the TableSimu range back to Column C, from Column E
c.Removed ASCII .39 (') from TableSense range; fixed the double-measure name.
d.Fixed PicSimu range to show the measure name.

3DCS Version 7.9.0.0
1.Write to Excel/Read from Excel (*.xlsx)
2.Process Capability Database (*.csv)
3.Excel Report - Contributor Percentage
4.Save CMMDev will include Unit line
Write to Excel/Read from Excel
1.Added columns:
Primary |
Secondary |
Tertiary |
DRF Active |
Datum_A_Features |
Datum_B_Features |
Datum_C_Features |
1 |
Datum_A_Features |
Datum_B_Features |
||
Datum_A_Features |
Added Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary columns and rows to show multiple datum features or continuous datum features in the model.
For Example: in ISO, the DRF could read as A-A|B|C. The Primary column will show Datum A Features twice or how many times specified in the GD&T DRF. (70053)
2.Added ASCII 39 (') to all MTM, GD&T, Point and Feature Name columns and Part Name columns. This was to ensure part or feature names with special characters or with numbers were shown correctly in Microsoft Excel/Google Spreadsheet when using Write to Spreadsheet.
Process Capability Database file changes (70437)
Changed the DB Version row to 3.1. This row indicates the Delimiter setting and version for 3DCS. New version is 3.
Excel Report - Contributor Percentage
•Fixed an issue when creating a Report in Excel, with the 'Show % in the Contributor list' option in the Analysis Options. The report will now show a correct Contributor Percentage value. Also fixed for Comma Delimiter. (70630)
•Using the option to 'Show % in the Contributor list', the Excel Report will correctly show the value as a whole percentage. (70279).
Added the unit line (30 'Unit') when exporting a CMMDev file. (70969)
Example:
/* CODE LEGEND
/* 10 POINT/ MEASUREMENT NAME
/* 11 0 UDL LDL
/* 12 0 NOMX NOMY NOMZ NOMINALS
/* 13 0 DIRX DIRY DIRZ MEASUREMENT DIRECTION
/* 20 INDEX DEVX DEVY DEVZ DEVIATIONS
/* 30 LENGTH_UNIT i.e. MM, CM, M, KM, IN, FT (MM is assumed if key is not found)
/* key -1 val1 val2 val2 -- -1 means this line is useless
/* CMM DEV File; default extension = .dev

•Grouping: ON/OFF – Changes the Target feature list to Grouped or one feature; this may be removed in 7.8.1.0
7.7.1.1 Header: The header is different depending on whether the contributors are displayed per feature or per tolerance. This seems to be an issue in release 7.7.1.1.
•Contributor: per Tolerance
•Contributor: per Feature
Contributor List per measurement
•Adjusted information for 2nd part of tolerance (Rand#2) for Floats, Circular tolerances, and location-type GD&T (7.7.1.1 -68454)
•Range and offset values are now in the same column.
Added Random#2 for Plus and Minus
•If “Maximum Number of Rng/Off to Show” bigger than 1 and Plus and Minus are activated in the Analysis Options then the values are exportet in RSS file as well.
•For Angle Range = 360 the Plus/Minus values will be +180/-180.
Added CWCR% column:
•Optional CWCR(%) Column will be exported as well if it is activated in the Analysis Options.
7.7.0.3 Header: The header is the same whether the contributors are displayed per feature or per tolerance.

Added a column to the GD&T tab called Feature Type
7.8.0.0 -
•Changed the columns to be "#Feature","Feature Name","Feature Part"
•Added "Feature Type" column
