Excel Cell Data in Calculator We now have 2 new functions for the calculator: Functions are XLS and XLSRC Both return a double Syntax: double XLS(string filename; string sheetname; string celladdress) double XLSRC(string filename; string sheetname; int row; int col) where filename  : string including the full path of the xls or xlsx file. Example: "c:\\temp\\sample.xls" \ needs to be indicated with \\ Sheetname: string with the sheetname (case sensitive) Celladdress : string of the cell address (example: "B25") row, col: integer indicating row number and column number (starting with 1, so B25 is row=25, col=2) example: xls("c:\\temp\\sample.xls";"Sheet1";"B25) xlsrc("c:\\temp\\sample.xls";"Sheet1";"25;2)

Additional Button to apply new masking Arcs Advanced Masking Additional Button to apply new masking Arcs Circle only By diameter Faces By type

Set Section Flag We now have the possibility to set a flag for the solids to let the system know if the solid should be cut or not as default choice.

The user can simply select all the displayed solids. Set Section Flag Once we set the No Section flags to the solids representing the bearings, the section will automatically recognize them as parts to be view and not cut without any further selection. The user can simply select all the displayed solids.

Draft Angle Ehanancements Added the extraction analysis. With this option the user will see 2 colors the first with everything below the angle indicated, the second for the angles above. In this case the function is also checking the possibility to extract the model along the Z axis of the construction plane. If it finds that there are faces of the model intersecting with the movement in Z the first color (red by default) will be used.

Move all instance The “Instance Alignment” menu is being renamed and a new function for positioning the instances is being added. The new menu name is “Instance Position”. The new function is temporarily being called “Position All”. This is intended to give the users a ‘windows like’ method for repositioning instances in a layout. It does not align any instances; it just moves them about the layout, thus the change to the menu name.

Move all instance

Long Break Instance enhancement. I've added a context menu during animation of the first break line to allow switching between horizontal and vertical. This came about from bug 31773 in which breaking an instance multiple times sometimes automatically created the break in the ‘wrong’ direction for one of the segments.

Movable cutting plane origin Having the origin of the cutting plane always in the ‘center’ of the plane is very limiting. So we have enhanced the cutting plane origin so that it can now be moved. The DynaHandle gnomon that is placed now also allows movement by using it’s origin ‘ball’ and the axis direction vectors.

Instance resizing enhancement The new “Dynamic” button activates a dynamic resize of the instances selected. If there are multiple instances picked this will cycle through them one by one allowing the user to resize each individually.

File Property Dialog Opening the file properties dialog box the system will now present as selected tab the last one used. This should avoid the need to reselect the tab everytime we enter in the function.

KC2016 V13.7 Fixes: The "Draw tangent lines" option is not working when creating a section view Cannot make Horizontal or Vertical independent arrows. A Generic Edit on a callout after the elimination of its label causes an access violation. Composites can now be renamed in the Composite list dialog. Groups also in the Group list dialog. Isometric View from Projected Instance, it does not create correct view. BOM and note tables exporting via DWG. Rectangular detail callout converts to circular and drops callout region border on DWG/DXF export. Saved solid fix (avoid to out of sync graphic and solid databases) Bom measurement dixes Move instance to another layout was leaving the instance listed Offset face bug fixed (avoid to out of sync graphic and solid databases)
