Mitutoyo America Corporation Releases MiCAT Planner Version 1.5

AURORA, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#CMM–Mitutoyo America Corporation announces the release of MiCAT
Planner v1.5 for the company’s coordinate measuring machines. In as
little as one click, MiCAT Planner automates the generation of
measurement programs based on CAD models containing Geometric
Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) information, as well as your
Dimensional Measuring Equipment (DME). When no GD&T information exists,
it can easily be added.

New functions:

• Multiple Coordinate Systems. MiCAT Planner now supports the
  import of multiple CAD coordinate systems and the creation of multiple
  part coordinate systems. These features can be created from the Plan
  View or the 3D View.
• Connection Line and Connection. The connection feature support
  has been expanded to include connection lines and planes.
• Mid-point, Mid-line and Mid-plane. These constructed features
  can be set as datums, used in an alignment plan and as referenced
  features for other constructed features.
• MCOSMOS Report Template Selection. Report templates for the
  measurement program can be selected from the GEOPAK installation
  directory.
• Angle Between Line and Line. Angle tolerances can be created
  from non-intersecting combinations of 2D or 3D line and axial
  features. Features that do not intersect will be created using a
  projection plane in the current PCS.
• Concentricity of Point Reducible Features with a Circle Feature
  Datum. Support for the concentricity tolerance was added for
  circles, construction circles, and spheres. The tolerance must
  reference a circle feature datum.
