Tool Selection Assistant

New Functionalities

Support all axis for weld gun approach direction
This option will apply to all the commands of Tool Selection assistant. Biggest impact will be seen in the way Pie reports and section planes are positioned. The pie report and section planes will be positioned as per the approach direction defined in the application setting.
In case of Pie report: if a particular orientation of the weld gun is accessible then, the Axis of approach will lie in the green zone of the pie report.
In case of Section plane: By positioning the section plane as per the approach direction, you will always see the right view in the section result window.
Capability to update Robot Posture after changing the Robot Configuration in Generate stack of 2D Sections/3D Slices at the selected welds command
In Generate stack of 2D sections/ 3D slices at the selected weld, in current scenario once the user changes the Robot configuration using the Robot Configurations Combo box in the dialog, the corresponding change is not reflected. This highlight provides the functionality of changing the Robot configuration using the Robot Configuration Combo box in the Dialog.
Change Pie report colors for Analyze Welds for Robot command
Currently, it is difficult to properly analyze the pie charts if the pie chart color resembles that of the surrounding resources color. This enhancement would help to properly analyze the results of the welds, by changing the color.

Enhanced Functionalities

User Interface Capabilities for Generate stack of 2D sections/ 3D slices at the selected weld
In Generate stack of 2D sections/ 3D slices at the selected weld command, currently you can't change the manufacturing location. This highlight allows user to move the manufacturing location with a compass manipulation.
User Interface Capabilities for Analyze Welds for Robot
In the Analyze Welds for Robot command, you are able to select multiple welds by multi acquisition.
Performance improvement for Auto Gun Search Command
Auto gun search is the entry point command in process planning. It enables user to minimize amount of new tooling design for a new product. This command performs search over very large no. of weld guns and welds to enable validation. The improvement of performance of this command gives a significant value as; it directly reduces the time required to validate a new product.
Support gun position changes and moving manufacturing location, during manual weldgun search
With this option, you can lock the manufacturing location by using Lock Location check box. After manipulating the manufacturing location using compass manipulation and on checking Lock Location check box, the compass disappears and you can't modify the manufacturing location with out un-checking the Lock location check box.
