Control Ucc: The libraries from Renishaw UCC has been updated
Languages
Polish Language: The language in Polis hit is now available
General Software implementations
Graphical Simulations of the Measuring Path: It is now possible , as an option, to
simulate the inspection path in Offline mode.
Graphical Editing of Path: It has been added the option to graphically edit the
measuring path on the teach panel before they actually got send to the part
program.
Modification o fan existing program: It is now optionally available the methods to
edit existing part programs and the nominal of the geometrical elements.
GSurf points - Delete: It is now possible to delete point in a Gsurf after the
inspection.
GSurf points – Visualization: It is now possible to show the deviation of the points
from the CAD area.
Visualization of the name of the feature: It is possible to show the feature name
from the CAD area.
Visualization of the ram of the CMM: The ram of the CMM can be shown in the
graphic area.
Manual inspection strategy: It is possible to create a manual inspection strategy in
run it without the need to interact with the software.
Auto Zoom: The probe can be located in the center of the CAD area during the
measures
Point Definition: The feature point can be defined with direct extraction the
geometry.
List in PROJECT POINT function: the list of feature in the PROJECT POINT dialog has
been re-organized.
2D Features in Sync: The sync of the 2D elements orient properly the features.
Toolbar Sync/Desync: In the CAD toolbar has been added two iconcs for Sync(De-
Sync operations.
Graphical Selection of lie direction: With the key-combination CTRL+CLICK it is now
possible to graphically select of the lie plane.
Coordinate System in Graphical Report: In the graphical report it is now possible to
show the coordinate system.
Model initialize: after deleting ,modifying or adding models, the geometry is now
automatically initialized.
Feature construction by points: The cursor for the Point feature definition has been
enlarged.
Dialog for Deviation of GSurf and GCruve: The dialog with the real time deviation of
GCURVE and GSurf can be shown in three different sizes.
Higling of deviation in GSurf: In the Gsurf deviation dialog the axis with the major
deviation it is now highlighted.
Multiple Import: It is now possible to import multiple CAD files in one shot.
Deleting Points: During the measurement of an element the point can be deleted by
graphical selection.
Collision handling in CNC mode: After a collision in a CNC mode the user can choos
chete he want to manually measure the elements. In this case after the inspection
the measure will continue in CNC.
Collision during the programmino in teach cad mode: If a collision happens during
the teach cad mode, the feature wil not the aborted but i twill stay with the current
points availables.
Rotation of the Head in Definition mode: When defining a sensor with tilt and Roll,
the system warn before the rotation.
Feature with INNER/OUTER tag: The features with the INNER/OOTER tag can be
switched in the DB viewer.
Virtual probe visualization: The probe can be graphically designed in the wizard,
and , optionally, be shown in the CAD area.
Expire date warning: When the license will expire in the next 15 days, a message it
is now shown.
IGES handling: the IGES import has been improved.
Multi-page reports: The creation of a multiple pages reports has been modified in
order to optimized the efficiency in report creation.
Adding an element to graph. Report: It is now possible to add an element to an
existing graphical report.
PH10 handling: It is now possible to orient the PH10 head from Arkey remote
controller.
Solving of the anomalies reported.
