on the mark.
Geometrical Tolerances
- Ability to measure or extract a surface
feature when evaluating a GD&T profile.
Point Cloud
- Improvement of the surface mapping sticker now showing two links to the min and max extracted points.
- Ability to teach an acquisition command
line into the program without being connected.
- Ability to teach an extraction command
line into a program, without point cloud in the session.
- Ability to record in a GM2 program the
point cloud database attributes (visibility and color).
- Ability to acquire several scan groups without closing the acquisition window, thanks to the new repeat function.
- New point cloud selection toolbar for filtering and extracting functions.
 |
 |
|
|
- Ability to merge scan paths within the point cloud database.
 |
 |
- Improvement of the quick fit split graphic views, one is only displaying the point cloud and the other only the CAD file.
- Ability to define an exclusion area during scanning by selecting a plane.
 |
Without exclusion plane
|
| Plane PLAN1 is the
exclusion plane
|
Measurements
- Improvement of the measurement mode
function, when probing using spherical artifacts, by adding an
additional hit point counter.
 |
 |
- Improvement of the Built&Inspect function : ability to measure 3D curve points with or without projection and probe compensation.
- Improvement of the Built&Inspect function : new feature name and family management, ability to change the feature name while measuring.
Features
- Ability to duplicate a multi-selection of features.
- Ability to force CAD alignment as
defining alignment when defining a feature with a specific setting.
- Ability to set a material thickness on a surface feature.
 |
 |
- Ability to retrieve I, J, K values from 2D features when using variables.
- New values calculated on section : average deviations (signed and unsigned).
- Ability to change the type of coordinates (Cartesian, Cylindrical, ...) on a multi-selection of features from the feature database.
GM2 Program Engine
- Ability to force probe center correction when importing PNT files from the program menu.
- Ability to change the type of coordinates (Cartesian, Cylindrical, ...) on a multi-selection of feature statements in a program.
DMIS Program Engine
- Improvement of the search and replace function.
- Ability to modify the name of the features, alignments and probes by adding a prefix, suffix,... when doing a mirror program.
- Ability to manage surface features in DMIS.
CAD
- Improvement of the Unigraphics CAD file
import with NX6 format now supported.
Alignments
- Ability to select families in the best fit alignment inputs.
CMM Interfaces
- Integration
of Metris Handheld API v3.1 (Beta version) on portables measuring
systems.
- Support of
Eagle Eye sensor with Zeiss CMM-OS interface and full integration in
the Metrolog Point Cloud module.
- Support
of SP25 on direct Mitutoyo CMM.
- Integration
of Metris Toolkit API 5.1 for optical sensors on CNC.
(Warning: needs to update the Metris licence).
- Integration
of Romer RDS driver v2.0.
- Integration
Kreon Toolkit v2.1.0.4 (Solano sensor supported).
Miscellaneous
- T-Probe stylus mount is now displayed in
the tracker toolbar.
- New "Connecting..." status
display during Leica laser tracker connection.
- Ability to display a multi-lines comment on a text value sticker.
- Improvement of the temperature monitor with ability to set a maximum range and display a warning when the temperature is out of range.
Functions available as from XG 11.002
- New work export format: ASCII GE.
- Possibility of limiting projection of surface points on non-extended CAD surfaces
- Support of Baces3D arm.
