Pipe
slot brackets
Bracket types available in the pipe wizard have been extentd with round
and rectangular slots.
They can be selected globaly in the 'Parameters' page or individually in
the 'Brackets' table in the tast column (its a 3-state switch working with
dblclick or spacebar)
By defult results enabled for slots are centre xyz and width. Generated
slot has length equal to with (its a 'dia' value) |
| 5.12.05 |
|
Enabled
possibility of moving fetaures on the list in case of
pipe part. |
|
CNC |
Edge
point cnc program EP_PT__.SEQ modified. Added two parameters
to work with 4-point EP feature. |
| 2.11.05 |
|
Edge
point Number of points added (2 or 4 can be selected) |

CNC
Learn - Protection against using a standard program for
learn. |
| 27.10.05 |
CNC |
CNC
program during run now also is checking motm_StatusChanged
message. Previously only mot_ReadAxisStatus function
was used during program run. |
| 3.10.05 |
DMIS |
DMIS slot feature
At the moment axel always creates rectangular slot (program W8BHJ07H43
has ROUND parameter, but measure points fits
rectangular slot) |
|
DMIS |
DMIS
probe setup in options
Setup of dmis probe direction in case there is no SNSMNT command in the
program.
NOTE : Mounting axis (probe Z) direction points towards the machine arm
(not the tip end)
Probe X axis is where probe is pointing whith 90,0 angles. |
| 30.09.05 |
DMIS |
DMIS
editor
SAVE menu command enabled |
| 23.09.05 |
|
DMIS
program files loaded with the part file |
|
|
Axel
off-line joystick mode enabled if pc-joyctick not connected |
| 25.08.05 |
|
Auto-add
plane to the circle.
If program adds a plane, and the status working plane is not 3D, then the
plane become status current working plane. |
12.07.05 |
CNC |
New
CNC commands added
MoveToRel
MoveByRel
with paraneter RelFetuare, which can be plane or point.
Move destination point is modified according to the RelFeature measured
deviation. |
| 05.07.05 |
|
Part
file version control
In the part open dialog there are informations about part version number.
One is the part file selected, and the current one for comparision. The
same information is in Part-Properies-Statistics.
When saving a part that was created with previous file
ver, there is a message box with information and question
if realy save the file in new version.
Relation between Axel release verions and part file
versions contain file part_files_release.txt |
| |
|
Result
labels - there is a choice of up to three columns :
measured, nomina, deviations to be displayed in the box.
Selection is done in the Option-Result Type checkboxes.
(At least one column is forced to be selected).
Each column has headre letter above, respectively M, N, or D
|
28.06.05 |

Arc_Pla1
program corrected
(ref. 27/06/05) |
25.06.05 |

Added
some pan modes in 3d view with shift key
Menu options\buttons LB LB+Ctrl LB+Shift LB+Ctr+Shift
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
None - ROT - PAN
Pan mode - PAN - ROT
Mouse rotation mode ROT - PAN -
Mouse rotation mode+ Pan mode PAN - ROT -
Zoom in/out with RB works whenever ROT or PAN is active. |
16.06.05 |

Bug Fixes
Date |
Type |
Description |
16.01.06 |
|
Corection
of grid display in 3D view - the grid would not always
show. |
| 3.01.06 |
|
AxRep
- fixed error about printer bin |
|
|
Distance feature - Dist result upper tolerance
modified so it doesn't accept negative number |
| 9.11.05 |
Pipe |
Pipe
bestfit end points options
Best fit with point option Dn calculation has been corrected. Now pipe
end points can have Dn-axis option checked (in best fit options table).
This gives correct best fit in case the end points are shifted along the
tube ends. Only distance to the tube nominal axis will be taken into calculation.
Now if there is at last 5 pipe points, axel enabled
Dn end points by default during pipe generating.
At the moment this function can be disabled in axel.ini file:
[Pipe]
BfitEndPtDn=0
The Dn optin can be also changed manually in best fit
option property. |
30.09.05 |

DMIS
Probes.
This gets a bit more complicated at the moment.
I have found out that the programs are probably designed for probe
directions +Y-X-Z (in axel notation), while itp machine is -Y+X-Z.
Unfortunately the programs doesnt contain definition of the probe mount,
and all commands SNSDEF has mount axis 0,0,1 (which is equivalent of
axel -Z).
As an experiment I have added to the dmis interface command SNSMNT which
defines all directions of the probe mount.
It deifnes ZVEC (our AB0 dir) and XVEC (our A90 dir).
NOTE : dmis ZVEC points towards the machine, while axel AB0 is along
the probe tip (the opposite)
If you put a dmis line in at the beginning of program :
SNSMNT/XVEC,-1.0,0.0,0.0,ZVEC,0.0,-1.0,0.0,MNTLEN,0.0,0.0,0.0
it defines that the program was designed for probe +Y-X-Z.
Now the dmis angles will be translated to the -Y+X-Z (probe which is
set in axel before translation (DMISProbe)
NOTE : the command is valid inside single program, so should be added
to each one before translation.

3D
view RB mouse data points.
Taking data ponits with mouse RB was sometimes incorrect if the grid
was displayed on top of the cad model. |
|

Correted
updat of nominal table bend and radius after editing
default bend and radius in the first tab of the pipie
data dialog. It was not always updated when changing
mm-inch because of some numbers rounding. |
