10/1/2008 This patch updates 7.01.002 and newer to 7.01.025 The patch can be found on the Geomet wen site at: Installer Information and download page: http://www.geomet-cmm-software.com/download/Geomet/Patch004/InstallInst.htm Files: http://www.geomet-cmm-software.com/download/Geomet/Patch004/Geo.exe http://www.geomet-cmm-software.com/download/Geomet/Patch004/Notes.txt There is no link inside the Geomet or Helmel web sites to locate this. The file, Geo.exe, is a self-extract achive. It will extract to the factory default program folder for Geomet. There is no password to extract this file. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // History // .025 Rebuilt the I/O handling functions for automated robitic operations. .024 Updated all DRO fields to work with the setting of variables both inside and outside of the System Options. .023 Updated the Stylus DB Manager with button hotkeys. .022 Added the auto build of the minus values based on the entering of the plus value to the tolerance dialogs in System Options. .021 In System Options, corrected a drop down selection tool that was adding 6 selections but the holding array was set to 5. Crash condition fixed. .020 Updated the System Options to read the default values from the Windows Registry for linear values. This ensures the linear compensation values are brought forward on legacy system. .019 Updated the handling of the flags used for Auto Direction. Added the system path to the Windows Registry making it available to open the gso database. .018 If there are no features but have global unassigned IPs / SOs / MPs, they will be automatically cleared from the global space if you open a new file. .017 The Draw in-progress flag was not being updated in the display when changing the setting in System Options. .016 Updated all functions calling the default system file variable to use the newer setting found in the System Options. .015 New feature. Added the selection to System Options / Graphics engine to toggle the orthogonal display of the current PCS. This allows the axis of the current PCS to always be true to the viewer. .014 Jump back. Corrected a bug that allowed the attempted jump back to a feature that does not exist. .013 Updated the expand option on the EZ Launch setup dialog to expand to the right, not to the bottom. Updated the Transfer to Geomet function in System Options. It was not updated bi-lateral -Y selections. .012 Updated additional hit items in the System Options. Specifically adding the PH9/10 volatile flag. .011 Updated base class for Stylus Manager to allow full row select. Added override to handle the Up/Down Arrows. Added custom size for icons to redraw in full row select mode. Updated System Options to handle most variables from probe setup. .010 Add a test at first startup to look for Linear Compensation values and move them from the registry to the System Options. As a backup, Geomet will maintain updating the windows registry. .009 Add the "qualify number of hits" to the system options. NOTE: There was an additional problem with Tolerance Pages. For some unexplained reason, the compiler assigned a different resource IF to the Daa/Rad + cell and that will cause the system to crash. Everytime the operator would launch the Tolerance Page edit from System Options, it would find this error. To correct, I placed a self-extracting Geomet.exe patch on the web site. The link to that file is: .008 Fixed the displaying of the highlight color during a inspection run. .007 Fixed the losing of the setup parameters for motorized probe heads. Geomet has a single flag that is set 'TRUE' when a PH9/10/50 is present. This flag was not in the new System Options and therefore was being cleared when Geomet was shut down, then remained 'FALSE' when started. The problem is that the Head-Controller setup page then selected "Manual Head" and no motorized operations could take place. .006 Fixed auto fill-in of data in Headers. Fixed matric handling in Systme Options Tolerance pages. .005 Extended EZ Launch to 200 buttons .004 Various - Slot/Web key. Added reading the gso when performing a restart. Added the company name to System Options. .003 Fixed the link between System Options and the Define Ref Sphere tool. You could edit the value in the Ref Sphere Tool and it would no update System Options.
