R2022x GA

Computing Measurements

You can now compute measurements based on the canonical or the geometry type of the selected element. The Canonical Type and Geometry Type options are now added to the Measure Tools preferences page.

Benefits: Computing measurements is now easier.

For more information, see Measure Tools

Modifying the Icon Size for Text Markers

You can now modify the icon size for text markers. The legacy text markers are also upgraded using the new icon ratio property.

Benefits: The user experience while using text markers is now improved.

For more information, see General

Linking a Slide to an Object

You can now link a slide to an object. When you move the occurrence, the slide position changes accordingly.

Benefits: The user experience with slides is now improved.

For more information, see Working with Slide Links

Marker Preferences User Interface

The user interface of the marker preferences page is now improved.

Benefits: You can now modify the graphic properties of one marker without changing the graphic properties of other markers.

For more information, see Marker

Updating a Section Automatically

A section is now automatically updated when you perform any product modifications, such as hiding a product or moving a product interactively.

Benefits: Updating a section is now easier and faster.

For more information, see Sectioning

Measuring Canonic Polyhedral Surface Geometries

You can now measure canonic polyhedral surface geometries. The supported canonic types are plane, cylinder, cone, and sphere.

Benefits: The user experience for the measurement commands is now improved.

For more information, see Polyhedral Geometry in Design Synthesis

Working with Positional Links

You can now create positional links for 3D markers with leaders and measurements.

Benefits: The 3D marker or measurement body is linked to the object irrespective of its position. The positional link ensures that the text box follows a specific occurrence.

For more information, see Creating Text Markers

Working with 3D Arrow Marker Links

You can now create links for 3D arrow markers.

Benefits: The arrows can now be associated with two objects.

For more information, see Creating Arrow Markers

Creating and Editing a 3D Line

You can now create and associate 3D line annotation markers.

Benefits: Working with 3D line is now easier.

For more information, see Creating and Associating 3D Line Annotation Markers

Measuring Thickness and Running Band Analysis

The thickness and band analysis modes are now removed from the Measure Item and Measure Between commands. Measure Thickness and Band Analysis are now available as dedicated commands.

Benefits: The user experience while measuring thickness and running band analysis is now improved.
