What's New in 3DCS?
7.5.1.0 - July 2018
Below are a list of changes, enhancements and resolved issues based on the entire 3DCS suite or a specific CAD system available with 3DCS. Please review the list of changes and don't hesitate to ask about a specific change.
Any text written with a teal highlight refers to any Simulation Output change. In other words, some calculation changes were made to either a distribution, a measurement output or DLL result. This could result in minor changes to a previous Model Simulation output.
Creo:
3DCS Data
•Remove 3DCS Data cannot be done when the model is in build position. (60151)
Reports
•Adding Tables to the Model Summary Page will now be saved correctly. (62822)
Points
•Users can now convert CAD Points created from Creo and into 3DCS. User can decide to create either a Feature Point or a DCS Point. (61687)
•Resolved Feature Point creation where a torus was recognized as sphere issue. (63093)
Moves
•Creo Joints will get extracted into 3DCS (60853)
Dialogs
•Updated Preference Dialog. (62463)
•Improved the Points list dialog to show the entire value when editing the XYZ or ijk fields (61753).
•Improved MTM List dialog display by adding icons along with the Names.(62427)
•MTM Information columns will keep the same size while editing another dialog. (62753)
•Improved the Copy Data dialog by adding a scroll bar to the bottom of each field, if point names are longer than the display. (62792)
•Changed "Joint Type" to "Motion Type" in Mechanical Motion move dialog.(62940)
GD&T
•Range Values from Composite Creo GD&T frame will now be extracted correctly in DCS for Creo 4. (62367)
•Datum Target points will no more miss links on saving. (63080)
Results
•HLM and GeoFactor correctly show only one contributor for grouped features in GD&T.(60443)
File IO
•Update Model time delay on large models is fixed (63022)
•Fixed a Crash on opening a .wtx File (63000)
•Memory usage on saving is reduced and the saving time is also made faster. (63105)
Tree
•Tree will now get updated instantly on changing the order of spec studies from the spec studies dialog. (62114)
•Right Click menu pop up speed has now been increased. Now there will not be any delay in opening the right click menu from DCS Tree. (63004)
•Family Table instances will now be supported in 3DCS. (63068)
•The tree will only refreshes whenever needed. Unwanted Tree refresh is blocked which improves the performance speed. (62990)
Display
•The feature mesh highlight color will match the Creo selection color. (62175)
•Updated expand and collapse icons in right-click menu to match icons in toolbars. (61157)
•Selecting "link feature" from the feature linking wizard dialog and moving the graphics (pan, rotate,zoom) will no more hides the mesh. (62265)
•Changed "Dir" text to be like direction arrow color and follow Geometry color set in Creo instead of always being black. (62848)
•Fixed Direction arrows to appear in empty model. (62847)
•The Model Navigator nor the Graphics will not blink and also the time taken is reduced when large wtx files are imported. (62458)
•Ribbon Order for MM Add On tab has been updated. (63153)
Update GD&T
•Dimension Origin Surface can now be extracted. (60624)
Configuration
•Added Virtual Designer(VD) and Mechanical Variation Analyst (MVD) Configurations. These settings are added under the Configuration Tab in the Preference Dialog. (62979)
•Sweep buffer number setting in the Preference Dialog is fixed (63305)
