Summary

Description

Service Pack 2 for PowerINSPECT 3.05 has been released. Service Pack 2 is an upgrade for existing installations of PowerINSPECT 3.05.

Service packs for PowerINSPECT 3.05 are cumulative: they contain all bug fixes and changes made for previous service packs. For detail on the bug fixes and changes introduced with Service Pack 1 see the technical note that accompanies that service pack release. The new bug fixes and changes introduced with PowerINSPECT 3.05 Service Pack 2 are as follows:

• Fixed a bug where the X, Y, Z components of a surface point's deviation could be reported incorrectly for certain surfaces.
• Fixed a bug where using datum planes as reference planes for other geometric entities can give the wrong result.
• Fixed a bug where PowerINSPECT could crash while opening documents saved with earlier versions of PowerINSPECT, containing rectangle entities.
• Fixed a bug which prevented PowerINSPECT from opening documents saved with earlier versions of PowerINSPECT, containing free-form-fit entities that referenced edge points.
• Fixed a problem where PowerINSPECT could incorrectly favour the alternative solution for RPS alignments constructed using retrace points.
• Fixed a bug where the result of an offset plane through three points would not always go through all three points if there are multiple available solutions.
• Fixed a bug where using the HTML View for a probed line measured with two points would cause a HTML scripting error.
• Changed Geometry Explorer to give acceptable performance when working with CAD files containing curves made up of a very large number of control points.
• Fixed a bug where points imported from file would not be projected onto the CAD surface.
• Fixed a bug where it becomes necessary to press the tracking button for each retrace point measured in a group.
• Fixed a bug which gave a scripting error when measuring cones with the Windows locale settings set to use a comma for the decimal separator.
• Added handling for inconsistencies between the behaviour of the Dutch version of Microsoft Excel 2002 and other language versions.
• Fixed a bug which made it impossible to create a new probe head in the standard probe database with the Windows locale settings set to use a comma for the decimal separator.
• Fixed a bug where error messages reported by PS-Exchange during a CAD file conversion could cause PowerINSPECT to crash.
• Fixed a bug in the SPC add-in which can cause PowerINSPECT to crash if an SPC file is saved multiple times with the same name.
• Fixed a bug in the SPC add-in which prevented PowerINSPECT from opening documents containing multiple measures with the same name.
• Fixed a bug in the SPC add-in which prevented PowerINSPECT from fully closing documents.
• Fixed problems with using the SPC add-in with PowerINSPECT set to a language other than English.
• Removal of redundant diagnostics code from the release version of the Device Repositioning Wizard.
• A number of connection protocol additions, improvements and bug fixes:
  • Addition of a new connection protocol to support the Kosaka Vectoron articulated arm.
  • Addition of a new object to PWIToolBox to support encoder initialisation dialogs.
  • Enhancements to the PWIToolBox CommDevice object to allow script protocols programatic access to the user's selected connection configuration.
