16.1.100

• Cam-Roller and Cam Steel and Heat-Treatment not stored with model - Corrected.
• Polynomial Fit - scale factors corrected with export to MotionDesigner.
• Pattern FB - corrected a conflict between old-style and new-style Pattern FBs

15.1.54 - Release version

• When dimctrl dialog is open, crash when dragging connector and Measurement FB.
• Motion-Path: reference corrections to handle new Tnil nil element node pattern.
• Measurement FB - between 2 Points - Correction to Linear and Angular Acceleration data

15.1.46

• Dimctrl now works again.  Removed  when  implementing the thread solve.  Now re-inserted
• Trying to eliminate the graphic context Popupmenu issue.   The OpenGL context interface reference count goes to zero which then causes the Delphi Tcompont to free which is bad.
• Outlines stable. Removed tangent mates

15.1.44

• Polyfit module algorithm improved. More Parameters included :-
  • Minimum segment width
  • Split segment at velocity zeros
  • Split Segment as Acceleration zeros
• Sketch tool improvements
  • Still issue with curve slot.  Can only constrain fully using angle dimensions not vertical or horizontal constraints.  Not sure why as they are equivalent.  Suspect occasionally SVD algorithm has parallel vectors whch cause confusion even though each vector represent a perfectly valid constraint.
• Library file bugs fixes
• Could not import into mechanism without doubling axis constraints
• Could not import generally in ground part when editing the ground part
• Checked all combinations of import :
  • Onto plane
  • Onto mechanism
  • Into base part editor
  • Into Part editor
• Mechanism Transformation errors when importing onto a part
• Language import/export.  Must use the EXCEL test data import option
• Mechanism delete caused crash on program exit.
• Hopefully corrected a rare bug associated with the popup menu in the graphic area.

15.1.38

• Vel and acc and force arrows now update as you change them
• Vel and acc arrow size data now saved with the cxl file and so should remain the same size on file load
• Removed box selection on design set updown changes to prevent color change crash in the Windows style component.

15.1.36

• The "billiard ball test" works.  Radius dimension can be added.
• Problem with the passive freedom of the circle verticalPtoP constraint which was counted as a ground connected constraint.  It sort of is but only passively as the they have no effect on centres “structure” ground connection.
• The reason there are a different number of constraints in the "Eggs test" is because CoincidentPtoP remove two freedoms and so if there are more of them in one example, then that example will contain fewer constraints.

15.1.34

• New: ask theme on first clean install.  Choice of dark or light
• Geometry issues improved.
  • Problem horizontal and vertical not being counted as grounded
• CAD control now works

15.1.32

• Hints on time in full: fixed

• Improved sketcher.

• Help included in the build file.  F1 help will now work immediately after installation

• Updated library files

• Different splash

• Movie issues corrected

15.1.22

Completed library features.

Started and included cycloidal position straight-line generator but encountered a difficulty with controlling link lengths.  This uses Euler-Savary and created some constraint loops which are proving difficult to solve for two rocker links ( ok for one )

Outstanding issues are :

• Help hints seems to display out synch
• Movie corrected

15.1.18

• XML INI file
  • There are now two INI files
  • Mechdesigner.ini; form info and minor stuff
  • MechDesigner.xml; all the application settings

The Program starts for the first time and loads the default XML file from

Program data/PSMotion/style/stop or comma depending on region

Thereafter, on exit, the two MechDesigner.ini files will be saved in the usual place.

This modification is to simplify the saving and loading of application settings as complication arose when I created new ones.

• New position list code
  • I have done extensive testing on the code and found it behaves inconsistently
  • So improvements
    • The derivative algorithm completely changed to cope with end points better.
  • When data is posted into a position list segment it will behave in two ways
    • First:  if the end points are different then the user will be able to edit the start and end positions to adjust the stroke
    • Second: if the end points are identical the user will not be able to adjust the end point as this will always be the same as the start point, obviously.  However, using the parameter, they will be able to multiply the points by the scale factor.

• Rename motions can now achieved by right-clicking to get a popup.  The text needs to be added to this popup in the language database
• Motion dimension colors can now be edited
• Extrusions can have parameters controlled by design sets
• Point cloud bugs have been corrected
• Overlay color can now be changed.
