? End of availability of FTP download links with PolyWorks 2022
As the latest versions of well-known Web browsers no longer support the FTP protocol, for security concerns,
we will no longer be offering FTP download links starting with PolyWorks® 2022.
Starting immediately, you can download products using our principal content delivery system that uses the
secure HTTPS protocol. Our HTTPS download links start by downloads.polyworks.com, which must be an
allowed URL for your network.

? The PolyWorks|DataLoop Profiler is now available in all products of the PolyWorks Metrology Suite.
? Fixed issues:
? When using the search box in the option dialog boxes, clicking in the box would clear its content.
? The & character could be duplicated in the search results in the option dialog boxes.
PolyWorks|Inspector
? Improvements have been made to CNC probing to avoid potential collisions and better measure slots and
rectangles that are deviated compared to their nominals, as shown in a). After the first side of the slot or
rectangle is measured, the location of the remaining measurement points is now adjusted to follow the actual
position and orientation of the slot or rectangle, as shown in b).

2021 IR5
The approach and retraction distance limits when measuring slots and rectangles have also been adjusted.
Note the following:
? When measuring slots, the submethod must be Sides and Arcs.
? The measurement paths of slots and rectangles may be changed to adjust to these improvements.
? Fixed issues:
? Improvements have been made to the GD&T calculations when using the SN ISO modifier.
? An issue with the GD&T residual mobility optimization using a single feature has been fixed.
? Issues when mirroring cross-section features have been fixed.
? Repeatability issues when computing the GD&T Surface Profile have been fixed.
? Issues in the Geometry Controls pane when editing a pattern of features have been fixed.
? A report snapshot update issue when replacing a Data object in a project containing a surface feature
has been fixed.
? A software crash when importing a JT file has been fixed.
? An error while meshing a polygonal model could result in an empty Data object.
? The measured Data points could not be selected on features probed using the Hole Smaller than Probe
submethod.
? Issues when splitting the measurement points of cylinders probed using the Use Initial Circles
submethod have been fixed.
CMM plug-ins
? The CNC CMM plug-in now supports the Renishaw MCR20 tool changer with two, three, and four ports.
MCR20 has been renamed to MCR20 6 Ports.
? Fixed issues:
? The probe tip display could be inverted when using a zCat CMM with the I++ CMM plug-in.
? Unpredictable motions on a zCat CMM could cause collisions with the part.
? The No-Air error is now detected on a Pantec controller.
? The sequence execution could inadvertently stop when using an LK CMM.
? Collisions could be falsely detected in some CMM measurement sequences.

PolyWorks|DataLoop
? A new section has been added to the Edit PolyWorks|DataLoop
Property dialog box. This dialog box can be accessed by
displaying the PolyWorks|DataLoop Properties dialog box using
the Tools > PolyWorks|DataLoop > Properties menu item, then
pressing the Edit property button. The new Options section
contains the following:
? Visible when creating a new piece - A check box that,
when selected, displays the corresponding
PolyWorks|DataLoop property in the properties list area of
the New Piece dialog box. The check box is selected by
default. Note that it is still possible to see and edit the
PolyWorks|DataLoop property value in the Project
Properties pane when the check box is cleared.
? Value required - A check box that, when selected, displays
a warning if the corresponding PolyWorks|DataLoop
property is not assigned a value when creating a new piece.
It also prevents the upload of the piece to
PolyWorks|DataLoop if the value has not been assigned. It
is cleared by default.
Two new columns, Visible and Value Required, have also been
added to the table in the PolyWorks|DataLoop Properties dialog
box. They display the status of these two parameters for each of
the PolyWorks|DataLoop properties displayed. They are hidden
by default.
? The performance of the upload of projects containing multiple control views has been improved.
? Fixed issue:
? Users are now warned when uploading a workspace or piece will result in a version upgrade.
