[Ch...] Posted August 20, 2024 Share Posted August 20, 2024 We've all been friends for a long time; I can't figure out why no one told me you could change the feature nominals to polar coordinates just by clicking the 'Representation' button in the features menu.

[Ri...] Posted August 20, 2024 Share Posted August 20, 2024 Chad, I believe this is new to 2024. Which also adds the ability to use the transfer format tool to transfer this setting as well. The sad part is that the old feature representation window (I believe prior to 2018) was actually much more efficient than the new one. 🙁 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/5038-representation-in-features-menu/#findComment-16848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 Yes, this button was added in 7.8 (2024) to save programmers a few click. Avoid the need to use the Feature Representation icon at the top and then add features individually in that window. Although now you have me wondering what the tool looked like prior to 2018, I can't recall myself.

[Mi...] Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 Better, but still can't understand why we can't have both Polar and Cartesian at one time, with just a toggle to pick which set is driving and which set is driven.... The old menu was definitely better, although a warning for anybody with particularly old programs. That IS one of the things that doesn't translate into newer software if you bring an old program into 2018 or newer. You may have to redo those settings.

The main advantage of the old versus the new was being able to select as many features at once and change the representation all at once. Now it is a process of opening up the Features Representation window, adding the features, and then selecting each one individually and changing them one at a time. I appreciate the redesign at it does look cleaner and now you have the ability to change the default behavior of a specific type of feature, but we lost the ease that the legacy method had. 🙁 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/5038-representation-in-features-menu/#findComment-16854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability to change this within the feature would definitely be a TIME SAVER Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/5038-representation-in-features-menu/#findComment-16856 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reduces the number of items that need to be added to list.
