SMARTElectrode Changelog

16.0.1.0

Remove deprecated behavior for 'DEFAULT_START_DATUM < 0'. A negative option value does not start calculation of workpiece height in Z direction of selected csys anymore. All values for DEFAULT_START_DATUM are now used as offset from FREE_FACE datum plane. [RM-16690]

Cleanup transformation matrices to get correct angles in edge cases. [RM-16748]
Base UI: fix problem with display of undersize values queried from 'overburn_calc.txt'. [RM-16691]
Burnsheet UI: fix wrong reset of workpiece display after "Isolate" or "Show Notifications" in Burnsheet UI. [RM-16692]
Base UI: recenter base on electrode solid if Z position is adjusted automatically. Lateral surfaces with draft angle lead to different coordinates for base. [RM-16547]

Add new command "Quilt Envelope" to allow creation of a rectangular, closed quilt around the selected solid or datum surfaces. Selections from workpiece or active electrode are valid. Created envelope can be used for trim, extend, merge and solidify features. Use command "Edit Cutout" to redefine. [RM-16455]
Parameters in Properties UI and in Base UI can now be filtered by category. Available default categories are "Default" (as defined by Show in UI), "All", "Position" and "Technology". Use Parameter Configuration UI to add custom categories. [RM-15975]
Assign electrode to different operation. Use page 'General' in Base UI to set a different zero point for active electrode component. Parameters will be recalculated after user confirmation. Changes assignment for active electrode component only! [RM-10410]
Add new page 'General' to Base UI. This page combines basic information about the electrode: operation, csys, holder and notifications. [RM-8256]
Add new commands to ribbon group 'View' to display workpieces or electrodes with transparency.

Remove deprecated option 'CALCULATE_XZ_PROJECTION'.
Remove deprecated option 'USE_ORIGINAL_TABLE'. If a table is updated by software is decided by value in row 2/column 1 of the placeholder. Check changelog of predecessor [RM-7306].
Remove deprecated option 'AUTO_UPDATE_PROJECTION' for automatic updates of effective burn-area calculation. Effective burn-area can be calculated in Base UI and Check UI. [RM-8713]
Remove deprecated option 'CALCULATE_OVERBURN' for automatic evaluation of undersize values from database. Undersize values can be calculated in Base UI and Check UI if technology values are prepared in overburn_calc.txt. [RM-8714]

Correct behavior of FREE_FACE in new electrodes, Base UI and definition/redefinition of cutout if normal vector of FREE_FACE parent is not parallel to Z direction of first csys in solid. [RM-16099]
Consider flipped normal vector for user-defined FREE_FACE. Normal vector of FREE_FACE created on reference surface is not automatically parallel to normal vector of reference surface. [RM-16074]
Fix empty table on separate electrode part drawing if placeholder 'ASM_EDM' is used. Assembly is automtically added as drawing model if necessary. [RM-16088]
Fix wrong evaluation of userdefined FREE_FACE in Base UI. Affected versions: SMARTElectrode 15.1.2.0 in Creo 9.0.0.0 and Creo 9.0.1.0. Compare https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS369850. [RM-15938]
Output/Interfaces: one operation (= zero point) must be seleced to start export. Electrodes, from simplified representations or selected by user, belonging to a different zero point are skipped during export. [RM-15864]
