• Coordinate Precision. You can now control the coordinate precision up to 6 decimal places for PCF output. Click the Options on the ISOGEN Output dialog and use the Coordinate Precision controls to modify the decimal places for the output file.

  • This release improves separation between components in a run and interfacing components. It provides two new options for specifying whether or not to include fittings from outside runs or from another run. These options are:
  • Include connected endpoint Fittings from Outside a Run (default is ON)
  • Include connected endpoint Fittings from Another Run (default is OFF)

  Option selection is remembered between sessions. The option Include Connected Endpoint Fittings from Another Run is disabled when saving a file for each run.
