New Geometry Fit Relationships

1
New Geometry Fit Relationships
Geometry Relationships allow for dynamic fitting
and comparison of geometry. Relationships are
dynamic in nature and update when associated data
moves.  So as points are measured, moved,
updated, etcthe relationship will re-compute,
updating geometry and comparisons.
2
Fit and Compare to Nominal Relationship
Specific a nominal geometry and points as inputs
and the respective geometry will be fit and
compared.  For example, specific a nominal circle
and measured points.  A measured circle will be
fit and compared to the nominal.  
3
Fit Only Relationship
Specify points for fit and choose geometry type
to fit.   New geometry will be created.
4
Compare Only Relationship
Select two geometries of the same type to compare
attributes
5
Geometry Relationship Report Options
The interface will allow the user to choose which
components of the fit or comparison to report.
 In addition, tolerance and relationship
optimization settings can be accessed.
6
Dynamic Report Designer
The Dynamic Report allows the user to drag and
drop items from the treeview into the report
view.  The Dynamic Report stays linked with the
treeview so as objects update/change the report
designer will reflect the changes.

New SA SDK
The Spatial Analyzer SDK provides a means by
which to write custom applications that utilize
Measurement Plan functionality within Visual C
and VB.NET. Once the SDK engine has been added to
the development environment, Measurement Plan
Steps can be executed within the programming
language.
To execute the MP Step that will " Construct a
Point in Working Coordinates" the syntax would
appear as follows (shown in Visual
Basic) NRKSdk.SetStep("Construct a Point in
Working Coordinates") NRKSdk.SetVectorArg("Working
Coordinates", 10.1234, 20.2345,
30.5678) NRKSdk.SetPointNameArg("Point Name", "",
"TestGrp", "TestPt") Dim bSendStatus As
Boolean bSendStatus NRKSdk.ExecuteStep()

UDP Broadcast
SAs instrument interfaces have the ability to
send a stream of UDP packets when their
measurements are sent to SpatialAnalyzer.  To
enable this for trackers, for example, go to the
Utilities menu and select UDP Data Stream.  
SA also contains a diagnostic utility so you can
view this data stream. Navigate file explorer to
the SA install directory and run SpatialAnalyzer
UDPMonitor.exe. Set it to the same port and hit
Start.

New ASCII Import Format
ASCII File Importer now supports point weights
for best-fit transforms
10
Vector Groups Auto Update
Group to Group and Points to Object Queries now
automatically become relationships that have the
ability to auto update. Meaning as the points or
objects move the vector group will update
automatically. User still has the option of
making a Static Vector Group.
11
Improved processing of Large CATIA V4/V5 files
Improved import speed, solids rendering, and
faster analysis after import.
12
Laser Trackers Update while Not Measuring
Laser Trackers will now update graphics while not
measuring. Access this option under Settings gtgt
Tracker gtgt SA Interaction
13
New API Axxis Arm Interface
New Instrument Interface for the new API Axxis
arm and scanner.
Consult instrument quick start by using the Blue
? in the instrument log on dialog
14
New MP Commands
Many Commands have been updated to Collection
Object Aware.See Readme.txt for listing of
updated commands
