3DCS Variation Analyst is a powerful dimensional analysis tool that predicts the amounts of variation and highlights the causes for part and process variation in multi-stage assemblies. It empowers manufacturers to prevent build problems by quickly evaluating part tolerances, assembly tooling and sequencing ahead of time in the product development stage, so that desired fit and function specifications are achieved in production.

Enhancements
Hide/Show Points: Hide/Show Points and Mesh function has been improved. Users can Hide/Show Points and Mesh on specific Parts or sub-assemblies. (74608)Measures•Fixed the Feature Angle measure to show stacked angle GD&T; this works similar to how the Dimensioning Location will work if stacked. (73845) Dialogs•The Simulation Window will now instantly update the Measure when the Variant is switched in the Analysis Summary Dialog. (74572) •Fixed a crash when creating a Point-Based feature. (74519). Features•Fixed various issues when creating a Point with a Circle Tolerance. (74559) Read/Write Excel•Read and Write Excel can now be done from the branched part or subassembly. (74581)

Issues Resolved (Creo)
Creo useful topics: See more topics on Best Practices and FAQ on the DCS Community.Internationalization•Fixed to show Chinese character throughout the Toolbar. (74596) Extract GD&T•When a Size Tolerance exists on a Slot or Tab feature, with a datum, 3DCS will correctly extract the Size Tolerance as a Dimensioning Location tolerance, with the datum as the origin. (74649) •Fixed a crash when Extracting GD&T with Smart Search on unlinked features. (74518)

Issues Resolved (NX)
NX useful topics: See more topics on Best Practices and FAQ on the DCS Community.General•3DCS has been updated to integrate with NX 2406, starting from release version 8.1.0.1 Display•Reverted the size of the 3DCS Labels back to using a larger size. The size of the labels should be more visible with higher resolution monitors. (74482) •Resolved the issue where 3DCS Animate was disrupting NX arrangements. (73944) Extract GD&T•When a Size Tolerance exists on a Slot or Tab feature, with a datum, 3DCS will correctly extract the Size Tolerance as a Dimensioning Location tolerance, with the datum as the origin. (74649) Internationalization•Changing the language in 3DCS to Chinese will show Chinese throughout all of the 3DCS Toolbar. (74596) Features•Fixed a Master/Associative feature issue when Extracting Moves or GD&T. (74506) |
SOLIDWORKS useful topics: See more topics on Best Practices and FAQ on the DCS Community.•Creating GD&T with DimXPert or MBD. Extract GD&T•When a Size Tolerance exists on a Slot or Tab feature, with a datum, 3DCS will correctly extract the Size Tolerance as a Dimensioning Location tolerance, with the datum as the origin. (74649) |

CATIA V5 useful topics: See more topics on Best Practices and FAQ on the DCS Community.Update Model•Fixed an issue when editing Points by double-clicking on the point in the graphics window. Editing the Points this way will now correctly update the point's location and direction instantly. (74616) Extract GD&T•When a Size Tolerance exists on a Slot or Tab feature, with a datum, 3DCS will correctly extract the Size Tolerance as a Dimensioning Location tolerance, with the datum as the origin. (74649) Dialog:•Resolved an issue with editing Points by double-clicking on them in the graphics window. This method now correctly updates the point's location and direction instantly. (74616) •The Export CGR function, within the Spec Study dialog, will correctly open the dialog to export the Measures to CGR. (74603)
