Best-Fit move - Originally from the X-Plane move in the Xform DLL, The Best-Fit move is similar to the Six-Plane move except that it can have more than six pairs of locators defined. Like the Six-Plane move, each pair of locators needs a direction defined.  Then, each object feature is best-fit to each target plane. Each target plane is defined by the target feature and the direction.

Pattern-Fit move - The Pattern-Fit move is designed to rearrange multiple parts relative to the fixed parts and relative to each other, by using hole/pin Hole Sets and point to point Constraint Pairs.

Dimensioning Location enhancements

•The first feature in the Feature list will be set as the Origin. Up and Down arrows in the dialog will allow users to switch between one or the other feature listed.

•Users can select Features of Size (Cylinders, Spheres) and select their Minimum, Maximum or Center edge as the feature. A Current value to measure was added in the options for reference.

•Only two features can be selected when created. Users can use the newly added Combined Feature is multiple features are needed for either the origin and/or the non-origin Feature.

Combined Feature - The Combined Features allows users to specify if multiple features are referenced in a Dimensioning Location tolerance.

General

•Added capability for the points at the ends of the "axis" of a sphere to also vary in the axial direction as the sphere size changes. (69792)

•Enhanced the Relationships Tree when using Slots that are used in GD&T and are defined by Feature Points. (69265)

•Fixed an issue with Read from Excel to create Tolerances and include points defined in the Excel file. (69712).

Monte Carlo Analysis

•Added support for the Simultaneous Requirement for Datum Shift on Feature Control Frames with like DRFs. I.e. all Feature Control Frames with A|B(M)|C(M) will now "shift" together. (69198)

•Fixed a regression. Changing the USL and LSL option in the simulation option will now instantly update the histogram chart.(69693)

•The Iteration loop regression issue is now fixed.(69745)

GeoFactor

•Enhanced the GeoFactor Worst Case Analysis to sum the contributions coming from the items on a Multi-Frame DRF taking the GeoFactor into account rather than simply taking the value of whichever one has the larger range. (69466)

•Fixed a bug where GeoFactor and Contributor Analysis would ignore the Projected Tolerance Zone setting in GD&T.  GeoFactor and Contributor Analysis values will now take the Projected Tolerance Zone setting into account. (69468)

•Fixed a bug that prevented GeoFactor Worst Case to work correctly with Point Based Features. (69480)

•Added a setting to the Analysis Options for Equation Based Results to show the Min and Max Worst case values in the Histogram Graph as Bars. (65860)

GD&T

•Enhanced the Datum Shift tool to also take into account a size change that comes from a Dimensioning Location distance between two faces rather than only just a Size tolerance working to trigger a Datum Shift contributor. (69275)

•Added the capability to use Dimensioning Location to or from the ends of a Feature of Size rather than always using the Center Points as the origins of the deviation. (69359)

•Enhanced the Projected Zone tool to work more similarly with how our usual features work. (69470)

•Added a Max/Min/Center feature option for the Dimensioning Location tool. The option can be extracted as Max/Min or manually set for a Spherical Feature.

•Enhanced the new Dimensioning Location function to also take Profile into account as a possible way to adjust the size of a Feature of Size. (69796)

•Added an option to the GD&T Options tab for Projected Tolerance zone. This option will allow users to switch the referenced direction. (69831)

•Default Distribution for Spherical Tolerance Zone changed to Normal instead of Right-Skew. (69636)

•Position with spherical zone and multiple spherical features will correctly be extracted and set to Spherical zone. (69625).

•Fixed a issue where Relationship wizard was wrongly showing a warning for inactive Datums as Datums not referenced.(65985)

•Smart Search GD&T will now extract GD&T for Slot Features also if it is used in any Moves, Measures.(69424)

•Revised the Dimensioning Location GD&T by adding a setting to change the orientation of cylindrical features.

•Fixed issues with applying the Process Capability Database to GD&T. Users will not be able to edit the tolerance range or offset values in the GD&T dialog. (69671)

•Limited the Feature selection for Dimensioning Location GD&T to only 2 features. Also added warning to catch if more than 2 features are selected. (69782)

•The GD&T Offset setting to be hidden if the GD&T DRF setting is set to "No DRF"  and also if the frame is made composite. (66203)

Moves

•In the Best-Fit move the object and target features will be selected in pairs; once the user selects an object feature, will be prompted to select the corresponding target feature. (69726)

•The Pattern move with Float-Hole-slot-Pin setting detects failed assemblies and reports them in the Run Log. (69319)

Measures

•Added "As Output" to the Dimension Distance Measure dialog. (69825)

Tree

•Slave features will now be displayed in the tree with a unique mask icon. (67953)

•The On/Off Output is now added to the measure groups in the Navigation Tree RH-menu. (69820)

Dialog

•The 3DCS License will now be displayed in the About dialog. (632014)

•The Feature Move dialog will now display the correct units for Feature of Size. (69567)

•Removed Local Coordinate information from the Feature Info dialog for Surfaces, Slots and Edges.(69577)

Display

•Fixed the histogram graph size be independent and not related to the Statistics list. (69739)

•Improved the Histogram graph sizing ratio to correctly re-size on expanding the Analysis dialog. (69788)

•The Min Max and Center Location will be shown correctly now in the graphics on the features for Dimensioning Location GD&T and Dimension Distance Measure. (69783)

Report

•Added Statistics column on/off option to the Report Page which the user can activate and deactivate depending on the requirement.(68961)

Preferences

•The "Middle mouse button closes dialog" is added to Preferences, defaulted ON.

User-DLL

•Enhanced the Raw Data Tolerance tool to show the GD&T deviations. (69574)

•Removed the following DLLs from the Add-ins folder: dcu_FeatureMs.dll, dcu_lsqgeotl_ms.dll, dcu_gdt_ms.dll, dcu_av_gap.dll, dcu_featureMv_ms.dll, dcu_runout.dll, dcu_CheckMs.dll (64819)

•Using the User-DLL RAW Tolerance Data file will be saved to the Model Report directory. (69296)

Dialog

•Updated the default Mesh Density values to 8. (69642)
