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, etc…the relationship will re-compute, updating geometry and comparisons.

What's New in SA 2009.07.15

Fit and Compare to Nominal Relationship

Specific a nominal geometry and points as inputs and the respective geometry willbe fit and compared. For

example, specific a nominal circle and measured points.

A measured circle will be fit and compared to the nominal.


Fit Only RelationshipSpecify points for fit and choose geometry type to fit.

New geometry will be created.


Compare Only RelationshipSelect two geometries of the same type to compare attributes


Geometry Relationship Report OptionsThe 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.


Dynamic Report DesignerThe 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 thedevelopment 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 BroadcastSA’s 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


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.


Improved processing of Large CATIA V4/V5 files

Improved import speed, solids rendering, and faster analysis

after import.


Laser Trackers Update while Not Measuring


Laser Trackers will now update graphics while not measuring.

Access this option under Settings >> Tracker >> SA Interaction

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

New MP Commands

Many Commands have been updated to Collection Object Aware….See Readme.txt for listing of updated commands
