New User Interface :
The new user interface is using the Windows colors, buttons are updated and user can choose gradient color for background
Example of updated Inca3D buttons :
Tools – Hotline Messenger – Help – Reset measure – Create new measure In the Action Parameters Window :
Etc …
Also, new Inca3D logo
Graphical View & CAD Management :
• Colors management of OPS & CAD elements
OPS element (measured entities) :
- Global color – e.g. All circles will be displayed with same color
- Tolerance color – e.g. Measured circles will be displayed using position according tolerance (Green, Red or Blue)
CAD element :
- Global CAD color – all surfaces with same color - default
- Color of CAD file – all surfaces take color of the CAD file, useful to display several CAD files
- Color of CAD entity – each surface will be displayed with its own color During CAD files import to BGF, Inca3D retrieve colors from original format (only for Iges)

• Graphical Views Management
Label displaying “View name” is replaced by a drop down list to switch easier active view
• New display of error vectors as arrows
The arrows are always displayed out of the material – arrow direction gives information about error sign.
In shading mode all deviations are visible
• Trends
Graphical labels can display deviations as trends (customizable : gradient color, tolerance zone, …)
User can also insert the trends in labels for measuring report (customizable : gradient color, tolerance zone, …)

• Extract a nominal keyboard point from CAD
User can calculate third coordinate and vector of a point from CAD Example : X=80 Y=20 Z= ??
By clicking "Get from CAD" Inca3D find Z=-12.070 on CAD, vector is also extract from CAD surface
• Extract a geometrical entity from CAD by probing
When activating the button "Calculate keyboard data from CAD and probed points", Inca3D is automatically calculating the nominal value from CAD surfaces
• Others
- Ability to set link line attach point for label to nominal or actual entity - New short cuts :
Ctrl + L : rearrange labels
Ctrl + R : reverse Normal vector in graphic view Ctrl + E : reverse Edge vector in graphic view
Crtl + G : CAD creation available even if not in CADtool view
Ctrl + T : CAD element treeview available even if not in CADtool view
- Ability to display CAD file in section view
- Ability to rename a CAD-action regarding CAD element referenced
Global Modification for Measuring path wizard :
Ability to apply global modifications for Measuring path wizard on several entities (probed & measured)
Can define parameters & apply others modifications in meantime (e.g. tolerance + measuring path + alignment + …)

Tools Management :
Information about calibration date-time is displayed for each probe and sphere
User can enter “allowed shape deviation” in Tool manager, Inca3D will display a
“warning information” or “cancel the calibration”
Driver Machine Brown & Sharpe DCC :
Inca3D is able to manage a CMM equipped with a Brown & Sharpe DCC controller (contact us for details)
Do not hesitate to contact us for more explanations
