Improved PMI Importing

This release includes the following improvements to PMI imports:

  • aPriori now imports the lowest (tightest) tolerance value listed in a composite frame; previously it imported the first value.

    Note: there is a known limitation for Creo and Catia CAD models that allows aPriori to read only the first two tolerances specified in a composite tolerance frame. Hence, if the example above was extended to have three positional tolerances, then the third tolerance value of 0.1 would not be imported, despite being the lowest (tightest) value: Image

  • aPriori now correctly imports tolerances that reference only another tolerance; previously such tolerances were not imported.

    For example, the Profile of Surface tolerance shown below was not imported previously, as it references only the parallelism tolerance to which it is attached. Now the designated surface will be assigned both a parallelism tolerance value and a profile of surface tolerance value: Image
