NC DSTV Enhancements

Added square bar shape class support to NC-DSTV reports
Improvements for welded shape reporting
- Symmetrical welded I shape is reported as I profile instead SO
- Saw length for Welded I shape is reported
Log file improvements
- Log files are created with unique file name
- List of processed and unprocessed parts
- Reason to unprocessed parts
- ProjectWise support
- Option to open the log file automatically after processing is complete
Amended shape inner contour direction as per NC DSTV
Enhancements to User Shapes reporting
- Create PR cell for Special profiles even if Force external contour for all shapes is off.
Improvements for external contour reporting
- Precision adjustment to the length value reported in AK Cell for B, C, M, L profiles
- Correction to NC Output for Radial Notch on parts
- Back Face(h) direction change for AK cell
- Report edge prep on mirrored plates
- Cuts on plates are reported as edge preparation
Drills/holes
- Amendments to countersunk and stepped holes reporting
- Validation added for superimposed punch and drill holes
Correction to reporting countersunk & stepped holes on "H" face
UI modification
- Moved the Add edge Preparation check box to the Shapes category and removed the Plates category from Customize data tab.
- Model units from NC-DSTV UI is removed
- Changes to the Customize tab
- Option added to write inclined holes to NC file
Text stenciling data placement/coordinate enhancement
Industry oriented approach for reporting H face and L shape hole direction for
Header data improvement for Welded profiles
Addressing defects into scribing information
- Report KO & PU cell at back face (H) for I profile
- Direction correction to KO & PU cell for Back(H) & Top(O) faces
Calculated header data improvements
Improvements in pipe as unfolded plates

Position/Weld Flag Enhancements

Once EED (extended entity data) functionality is setup on the system, you can incorporate parts and group EED data to a PositionFlag definition.
You can now place position and weld flags manually in drawing and sheet models.
Position flags can be distributed on drawing models.

Drawing Production/DetailCenter Enhancements

Improved sorting options for the DetailCenter - Number priority sorts by numbers regardless of their place in the detail name. Prefix priority sorts alphabetically based on prefixes and still maintaining Number priority.
Scaled dimension styles are no longer retained/added to the 3D model, eliminating clutter.
Now DetailCenter Preview(s) are displayed in one of 8 views specified in the Settings tab. This change provides users the ability to preview any number of times without switching design models, hence eliminating the need for re-scanning objects by the DetailCenter.
Note: Two separate default view settings are provided for previews and manual detail creation, they are initially set to view 8 and 7
You can now preview DetailBlocks from other models without exiting the active model, so long as the detail block was created and exists.
New replace 2D DetailBlock functionality is added to the DetailCenter:
- You can replace the DetailStyle assigned to DetailBlock(s) by selecting one from the available list of DetailStyles, the 2D cell is automatically updated with the rules in the new DetailStyle and the result can be seen dynamically in the preview window.
- You can also apply additional 2D sections to DetailBlock(s) in the preview, the 2D cell is automatically updated and the result can be seen dynamically in the preview window.
Improved dimensioning features:
- Arc dimensioning
- Assignment rules
- Element best side, based on local part references
- Local dimensions based on connected parts
- Local dimensions based on connected parts with local zone reference
- Local dimension reference structure, feature global and local zones
- Local dimensions based on connected parts contact face/edge reference
- System point dimension improved intersection point recognition
- Benefits from improved dimensioning features
- New control for cope hole diameter display
- New controls for slotted holes text location

Connection Enhancements

Pipe flange connection can be created at the intersection of skewed shapes, with options to have the flange plates perpendicular to the first or second shape or at the miter angle between both.
