Release notes starting November 1st, 2006 Nov 1st, 2006 Changed skewed sections so that the Z value of the point that is computed as being on the skewed plane is used as the section height for that section. Implemented Variable tolerance as a method for LEMIN and LEMAX tolerances. Use LE_VARTOL to define the plus and minus tolerances at the nose point, and MID_VARTROL to define the plus and minus tolerances at the LE_CHANGE locations. Nov 3rd, 2006 Fixed values reported for LEMIN and LEMAX when new variable tolerancing is used. Dec 18th, 2006 Fixed a bug involving calculating edge thicknesses using the POINTS method. Dec 29th, 2006 Fixed bug when using "No Fit" caused program crash. Jan 16th, 2007 Added support to use PC-DMIS PDF printer drivers. Don't select the PC-DMIS printer driver from the choice of printers, but rather check the "Auto Plots to PDF Files" check box on the Reporting tab of the Preferences dialog. Automatic Printouts will then be saved as one PDF files. Any menu options that request a PDF printout will be saved to the same file. Note that the files are originally created as separate files, but are merged when either the document is closed, or Blade is executed. Jan 17th, 2007 Added pdf driver to install. Jan 30th, 2007 Increased resolution of pdf files. 1 Feb 2007 Fixed bug where using Constrained Least Squares and RELTWIST caused Blade to blow up. 12 Feb 2007 Added option to "square off" an end in the nominal editor. Can only deal with one end being square (defined by two points). To square off an end, use 3 points. The first and third are points on the corner. The middle one should be close to the midpoint. The middle point actually gets thrown away, but it's normal vector is used for all the points that are generated on the end. The two corner points should be selected (double click one, and the control double click the other), prior to clicking the "Make Square" button. Note that no attempt is made to define the end. after one or both ends are squared off you must select the points on the corners again and define the ends. 19 Feb 2007 Fixed problem seen when computing zone form nominal. ======================================== Version 3.0 ======================================== 12 Apr 2007 Fixed two point fit from TE to use right offset values (they were swapped). 27 Jul 2007 Increased number of points used when computing points for the LE and TE edges for tolerance curves used by variable tolerances. 6 Aug 2007 Fixed problem with TE width reported by Bell. 14 Aug 2007 Fixed problem where DISABLE did not stick in tolerance file editor. 21 Aug 2007 Fixed problem where TE was not determined correctly for partial section with very small TE 4 Sep 2007 Removed check for demo mode on port lock 20 Nov 2007 Fixed problem where point tolerances were sometimes shown at incorrect position on form plots. Fixed problem where nominal zone form points were potentially not being reported correctly in XYZ file. 14 Jan 2008 Fixed problem where probe compensation was applied in wrong direction. 4 Feb 2008 Added message box to explain failure when Edit Nominal fails 29 April 2008 Fixed blow up that occured when trying to edit a flavor that has unknown calculations.
