datecode 2018-08-23-01

Bugfixes

• For Inspection characteristics even for nominal or basic tolerances the upper and lower limits are shown. This is fixed now.

• In rare situations the Strip Wizard was crashing when the mouse pointer was close to a selection tracker of a strip entity. This happened especially for new components created by copy and paste. This is fixed now.

Enhancements

• Support of Creo 5.

• Visualize sketched strip curves similar to scrap curves.

• New Edit Sketch functionality for station curves in the Strip Wizard.

• Show station numbers also in the design review model.

• Apply orientations from the strip assembly to the design review model.

• Add Repaint Strip Information and View to the ribbon for the design review model.

• Allows to enter foreign characters to the project name for Creo 4.0 and above.

• New update functionality for inspection characteristics.

• New drawing template for inspection characteristics \configuration\drwtables\inspection_characteristics.tbl. In case this is not available, the old functionality will be used.

Bugfixes

• H3 dimension in form stamps can be defined in graphical user interface even if it is locked by relation for "WITH PART TRIM".

• Since Creo 5.0.2.0 the Plates Wizard does not show the plates in the different views. This happens due to a technical change in Creo which might also appear in the upcoming Creo versions Creo 4.0 M070 and Creo 3.0 M170. This is fixed now.

• Adding pins crashes Creo when they are applied to the lowest plate. They also fail in case holes are only drilled in one plate. This is fixed now.

• Creating or modifying pins uses wrong assembling constraints in case they are assembled immediately. This is fixed now.

• After committing or canceling the strip wizard, the ribbon commands are not re-enabled immediately. This is fixed now.

PDX 11.0.1.0

datecode 2018-09-19-01

datecode 2018-12-19-01

Bugfixes

• When using Creo Parametric 5.0.3.0 / Creo 6.0.0.0 or above the functionality to calculate input field fails due to internal changes in Creo Parametric. This is fixed now.

Enhancements

• New optional parameter PDX_ARTICLE_THICKNESS on the reference article is considered to specify a different thickness as measured in the article.

• Strip thickness is now calculated by the first article instance on the strip. Also the depth of the cut feature which is responsible to cut the article free from the strip, is adjusted to the strip thickness.

datecode 2019-03-12-01

Bugfixes

• Adding a variable bend feature caused a nested article family table. This is fixed now.

datecode 2019-06-21-01

Bugfixes

• Adding new instances to the strip pattern in the plate wizard was failing. This is fixed now.

• In some situations instances of the strip pattern are created in the wrong direction in the plate wizard. This is fixed now.

• Enabling the master view of a tool by PDX Tools > Plates > Master View terminated selections. This is fixed now.

• In Plates Wizard the strip offsets had been exchanged. Therefor the strip position was sometimes not correct. This is fixed now.

• Trim features by quilt for stamp reference parts with article as owner have not been updated. This is fixed now.

• Regenerate Strip in the strip wizard did not update the cutouts and stamp reference part geometry. This is fixed now.

• Rotating a proxy stamp reference part failed since the wrong dimension was modified. This is fixed now.

• Updating the stamp reference parts did not include the trim features. This is fixed now.

• Since Creo 5.0 M020 the dialog PDX Strip > Create Stamp Reference Part on Point became unresponsive after selection. This is fixed now.

datecode 2020-02-27-01

Bugfixes

• Creating pierce stamps in the design view did not create all cutout for the stamps. The reason for this is that for collision detection all plates have to be displayed. This is fixed now.

• Using SEARCH_FEAT_PARAM in a part, part_copy, asm or asm_copy program can in very rare cases lead to unexpected behavior in the Modify Component functionality in case AUTOMATIC_PARAM_UPDATE is not disabled. This is fixed now.

datecode 2021-08-11-01

Bugfixes

• Inserting stations in strip eliminated trim features for stamp reference parts on curves. This is fixed now.

• Stamp reference part trim quilts have not been updated correctly for articles which were not placed on the default coordinate system.This is fixed now.

• In some situations the stamp reference part was not creating all cutouts in the strip part. This is fixed now.
