What's New in 3DCS?
8.1.0.4 March - 2025
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.

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
General•The dcsdb2 file shows the correct deviated values for Associated and when measured along the x, y, z axes as well.(75185) •Fixed the QDM web dialog to navigate to the specified link in the Config file. (75176) Moves•The Move Floats distributions using Rand #2 = Constant or Rand #2 = BiMode with Range = 180 are set to use the 'Legacy' distributions instead of the new 2D distributions. (75037) •The Feature Move on spheres now executes correctly. (75015) GD&T•The Legacy distributions for circular tolerances, position GD&T, and move floats can be accessed by holding down the HOME button. They will have the "1D" suffix added to the distribution name. (75066) •The GD&T Size Tolerance Scale will now read the correct value. (75065) Display•Fixed an issue while editing a part with Branch Tree, causing other MTMs and GD&T dialogs to deactivate. (75231) •The Feature Labels display will now show/hide correctly when using the Root button from the Selection dialog. (75079) Dialog•Resolved an issue with Model Variants that was leading to inaccurate Contributor Analysis results. (75021) •Fixed the Show Graph dialog and the results coming from Show Graph. (75214)
