- Supplementary pipe data updated after units change.
- Result preview window updated after units change.
    HTML export - part name field
06.01.04   Result boxes options (All,In tolerance,Out of tolerance) working in 3D view
22.12.03 CNC - program after error always stay in pause, then it can be run or stopped
- cnc error causes to switch to joystick mode, run or step reenables cnc mode
- permament error like emergency stop and limits display message box until

  Pipe Pipe nominal table import.
Pipe data dialog - Load button imports text file which contains nominal data.

29.696, 3.473, 0.000
No other data is read at the moment. Nomber of strights is determined by number
of correctly read lines.
Other data like tube diameter and bend radius for a moment have to be set
manually until file format for those will be defined.
10.12.03   Result options dialog - "Save as default" checkbox option added for Results options are saved for each view separately with the part file Default values are used for all views of the New part.
    Coordinate systems ignored for zoom all in both MW and 3D views.
    Axel header in raport text box - date and time placed in the sepearate line
the same changed in save results to file.
27.11.03   Additional text info and logo in axe splash bitmap, data in axel.ini
Example for itp.
[AxelSplash]
User=ITP
EnableUserData=1
Text1=ITP
Text2=www.itpgroup.co.uk
Text3=itp@itpgroup.co.uk
;picure 122x80 pix, no stretch done
Bitmap=itplog3d_small.bmp)
    AxReport notifies Axel about report file and its disk path. Its location is
now remembered with part file (previous default search path was 'parts' dir).
Axel gets the report name in the moment of load/save/close the raport.s
22.11.03   New 22-characters code to avoid characters mistyping. (Previous version of axel still accept 20-char code)
17.11.03   3-axis joystick support. Accesible though F2 toggle (a small icon appears in the probe status). In Setup menu there is Joystick setup
12.11.03   Modifiations inside calibration program :
- measure points slightly above the equator (80 deg of the sphere)
- message about probe psitioning is diaplyed only for the first position
- corrected moves to avoid the stem
- increased margin, but later there will be access to this parameter from the dialog
Calibration sphere uses its nominal diameter for drawing in MW and 3d instead
of measured like other features do.
Selection colour is disabled in 3d for the calibration sphere.
23.10.03   Message property dialog of the feature. Del key now can be used in the editor.
The dialog box is closed before feature is deleted.
14.10.03 Surface Enabled draw of safety planes in 2d views. This is for MW view only (change of 3rd mouse coordinate - Ctr+Shift+LBmouse move)

Now definition of the size is in mm/inch plus selection of dpi.
  CNC With learn option "Use standard program" switched off, now there is possibility
of selecting existing feature from the list (measured erlier), press
remeasure function (instead of new fetaure). Learn will insert Measure-Finish
comands.
    3d Points mode points can now be selected when geometry is referenced
to any system
    3D model position updated after changing geometry reference system
12.09.03   Bitmap added to standard printout, setup in printout page of
options dialog. It is a global setup for all parts
09.09.03   Fonts of standard printout header lines changed
26.08.03   Geometry transform dialog, removed change of checkboxes after coord system change view
