Version 1.1.0-beta

  • Updated the buttons at the top of SolidConnect with cleaner icons. The Load button can now be pressed on the left side to perform the default load action, or the dropdown can be opened by clicking the arrow on the right side of the button to use a specific mode.

  • PlmXml files (export from TeamCenter) can now be imported. See the manual for details on what is and isn't supported.

  • First beta build of SolidConnect. Only a beta test license is valid in this version. This version operates completely independently of the normal build. Settings, logs, and other data are stored separately.

  • Fixed an issue where the 'Open File' action in the right-click menu was not available on documents.

  • Note: Major parts of the code have been rewritten; this may have introduced issues in existing functionality.

Version 1.0.10

  • Added a new method to read mass, found under ‘structure analysis’. This method no longer uses the variable table. It is more reliable and returns fewer empty values. The mass of frames is now correctly read per segment, whereas previously the mass of the base part was read (incorrectly).

  • Exclude rules now use regex instead of a fixed value. Old settings are automatically converted to regex.

  • Mass and Cut length are now read based on the units set in the active document that is loaded.

  • Pipe length is no longer read as it was incorrect and no alternative was found.

  • Added a new ‘any’ character set to the Regexbuilder.

  • Adjusted the Regexbuilder ‘Filename safe’ character set so that incorrectly rejected special characters are now approved.

  • The minimum length in the Regexbuilder can now also be zero.

  • Fixed issue where occurrence properties were not exported to CSV

Version 1.0.8

  • Added the following Csv export options: Toggle export, add column headers, export as separate files, file extension, separator character. (IMPORTANT: Existing users of csv export need to change these settings because the new defaults function differently)

  • Added a Product tab, This functions similarly to how the documents tab previously functioned but it is now not directly assosiated with a specific file. Related files of a product can now instead be seen in the updated details (previously properties) window on the right. This now also searches for other similar files in the same folder. The documents tab now provides an overview of all found files. These changes will allow for more functionality in later versions.

  • Excluding all suboccurrences in the import structure view is now again possible by ctrl-clicking the checkbox.

  • Context menu items are reordered.

  • The buttons which were also usable via the context menu are now removed from the main interface in our effort to clean up and simplify SolidConnect.

  • Backups are now created for setting files in the appdata folder (next to logs).

  • When editing which column are visible (right-click on column header > edit) the list of available options is now alphabetically sorted

  • Fixed saving settings as a new file, the displayed path in the setting window did not update.

Version 1.0.6

  • Removed old progress bar on main interface (obsolete since separate popup progressbar)

  • Added new button to display the current activation key (no longer auto-fill the current key in the activate key popup)

  • Combined save,save as and load settings into one button with a dropdown
    (when loading a settings file, it is not needed to save (which might not be possible when it is readonly), this is hopefully more intuitive now)

  • License system now only does a quick check when the license has already been checked recently to speed up starting the program.

  • Added loading info to splash screen

  • When loading a readonly settings file, the setting interface is disabled

  • Fixed crash when trying to save settings to a file without write permissions.

  • Fixed issue where the open properties button did not appear while the panel was closed on startup

  • Fixed issue where activating a key would crash the application when the ProgramData/SolidConnect folder did not exist

  • New Licensing system based around tokens is implemented. Specific features require tokens to be spent to unlock.

  • Setting added to toggle whether solid connect automatically loads again after saving settings.

  • When using an action such as open fileproperties while the active document in Solid Edge has changed, solid connect not ask if you want to activate the needed document again if possible

  • A context menu (right-click) can now be used on the import, export structure and documents list

  • When first launching solid connect and no settings file is configured, no longer does an popup appear that no settings were found.

Version 1.0.4

  • The file properties side panel can now be hidden

  • A single part file can now be loaded instead of only being able to load assembly files

  • The export settings for xml are completely reworked to a new very flexible system. The export settings interface for CSV is now a bit simplified but still functions the same.

  • Multiple export settings can now be created in one solid connect settings file. Example settings are added. These export settings can be added/saved independently.

  • FilePath property added

  • Fixed crash when Patterned or mirrored items are hidden and loaded with visible only mode

  • Fixed an issue where two occurrences were separated in the export tree even if their occurrence properties were the same (if 'separate by occurrence properties' was turned on)

  • Fixed crash when loading an assembly with missing files.

Version 1.0.3

  • When a regex is saved with list of items mode, opening the regexbuilder caused the characterset dropdown to have no selected item. This caused a crash when switching to custom rules and saving without changing the character set.

  • When using a quick action button (such as open fileProperties in SE), while the active document in SE has been changed since loading, errors are prevented and a pop-up informs of the problem.

  • When checking 'allow linebreaks' in regexbuilder, now correctly show the change in the regex.

  • The loaded assembly now also checks for a matching draft file.

  • When loading, the document/occurrence count is reset.

  • The export button will be disabled during loading.

  • When reading file properties but encountering a shareviolation, fileproperties will be read via a backup method. This reduces situations where files will not be read succesfully.

  • The revision number is hidden in the import structure as this currently does not yet have any functionally.

  • A button has been added to quickly reload properties of a specific file. This has a few limitations, dee the hover-tooltip for more info.

  • A button has been added to quickly open the selected file in SE.

  • Changes the location logs are written to from the executable folder to Appdata, this ensures logs can be written and will not have problems with write permissions.

  • Changed icon of the document include column and changed the selected row highlight color to improve visibility.

  • The layout of columns in the document view are now remembered (order,width,hidden). This is stored per user. Adding properties as extra columns can now be done with the context menu (right-click on column headers) and has been removed from the setup. Changes now don't need to reload the whole assembly. A button has been added to reset the columns layout to default.

  • Loading an assembly now opens a separate loading window that allows you to cancel the loading process.

  • The buttons to select all occurrences & open occurrence properties are now noticeably quicker in bigger assemblies.

  • The buttons to Open PhysicalProperties and MaterialsTable can now be used when a document is selected.
