API/Development (Acam.exe)
- New Method: App.UnAuthorise
- Can be used to release a license obtained via App.Authorise
- New Method: SetProcessAffinityMask
- The affinity mask for the threads of the process. Some legacy programs have problems running on multi-core machines when communicating with Alphacam using COM. Restricting Alphacam to run on only the first CPU can help.
CAUTION: It is important that you only use this call if you know what you are doing and have read the Microsoft documentation on this function.
- New Function: License.GetAcamOptionLicense (Long)
- Get license for option in given file (DLL or VBA Project). The license will be released when Alphacam exits, or may be released with License.ReleaseLicense(Handle), where Handle is the return value of this function. Handle will be zero if error.
- New Function: License.GetLicenseServerName (String)
- Get the name of network license server. Will return null string (empty) if local license.
- New Function: Drawing.UserSelectMultiGeos2 (Boolean)
- New Function: App.AuthoriseCheck
- This is the same as AuthoriseModeless, but with no messages.
- New Function: Spline.ProjectToWorkPlane (Spline)
API/Development (Feature.dll)
- New Method: Bodies.Filter
- Fixed: SolidPart and SolidBody return an Empty Variant on attribute not found
API/Development (Primitives.dll)
- New Method: gPoints.Seed
- New Method: gPoint.StoreIn
- New Method: gPoint.FromSpherical
- New Method: gPoint.ToSpherical
- New Property: FilePath.Digest (String)
