Enhancements

Date	Type	Description
15.08.03		Recent parts dialog, part picture a) in par Picture can be assigned to the part a) in part property dialog b) in 3d view "Save as bitmap" option - "bitmap for part preview" checkbox..
17.07.03		Sounds setup in options. Need to define more events
09.07.03		Multiple axd geometry files can be added to the part. Can be then saved as single axd file. Consecutive files adds an 'a','b'.. letter to the entity and layer names..
05.07.03	Pipe	Stiefelmayer XR Format for serial data transfer Folowing setup will send serial data: - serial port - features - digitizing - Selfaymayer XR Autotransfer option will send datapoints of the feature right after its finish. With Autotransfer option always last feature data only wil be sent. When there is no Autotransfer checked, manual send result will transfer all features data or last fetaure depends on Send last feature only option. If all features are being transfered feature Printout flag is used, when sending single fetaure it is done regardless thie flag. At the moment there is no signs send at the beginning of feature so all data points are contignous set of XYZ and RST lines.
03.07.03		Correct entity names after adding another iges while keeping previous geometry
28.06.03		Automatic PH10M probe calibration (first release)
20.06.03		Improved saving positions of toolbars
19.06.03		2D views with grid, relative to any coordinate system
14.06.03		Added Probe selection window menu item and toolbar button
		2D view menu options and buttons
12.06.03	CNC	CNC program stops on motor status error flags even if bit mots_ON is still set (0002h) mots_encoderr mots_noairpress mots_zoverspeed mots_emrgstop mots_unexpdp mots_expdpnot Until now program report these errors only if at the same time mots_ON bit was zero.
10.06.03	Surface	Improved time of processing large surfaces while loading iges
05.06.03	Pipe	Pipe 180 deg bends. Need check on real nominals example
20.05.03	CNC	CNC program- highliht correct command in case of program error.
		Error mapping indication in status bar
	Surface	Default surface thickness in SP options
18.05.03		SendResults toolbutton enabled
15.05.03		IGE,IGES extension filter in import geometry dialog
		AutoZoom feature working in 3d view
		New version of GLU32Axel13.dll
07.05.03		Corrections in surface points from cad -deviations are now =0 -correction dir taken from cad so can be used in learn

Bug Fixes

Date	Type	Description
15.08.03		Corrected spelling mistake in Transfer Setup window
17.07.03		Corrected buttons bitmaps (in disabled mode, with 16bit colour)
15.08.03	Pipe	Corrections in 180 bend pipe - nominal table xyz Pa,Pb points (but editing is disabled) - result boxes for Pa, Pb points - corrected generation when 180 bend goes with non-zero twist - HP bend point removed from the best fit
05.07.03	Pipe	Pipe end points correction StartPt and EndPt will be generated with probe correction option set to "forced". For existing parts this can be set manually, the probe correction option should be set to : StartPt: +X, element, forced and EndPt" -X, lasstrightname, forced
		Delete last feature on feature list scroller error
03.07.03		Dongle when checking time of the previous axel run now ignores few minutes differences so it should be posiible to use the dongle on other computer without waiting.
03.07.03		Corrected geometry extents after geometry transformation
20.06.03		Proper size picture in excel report
		Last zoom (last view) option working in 3d view
14.06.03		Errors in read surfaces from axd, only in versions from 5.06.03
05.06.03	Surface	Corrected load/save to axd with large number of vertexes in surfaces (102318.igs)
26.05.03		Corrected texts in delete features dialog box
	Pipe	Update pipe in 3d after generate
20.05.03		Corrected buttons for edit menu options
18.05.03	Pipe	Removed use of old setup PipeFileDir=c:\axel.exe\parts in pipe directories
	Pipe	Pipe serial 0 checksum
15.05.03		Corrected some default settings in case of missing axel.ini
		Backup of axel.ini (axel.in~) created when starting axel (no automatic restore)
		New calculation of centre of rotation on 3d after zoom to window
