These include changes to or new inclusions of: - Groups, - Chordal Mesh, - GD&T Dim Loc, - Pattern-Fit, - Best-Fit, - Sequence Optimization Grouping **DCS is continually trying to enhance the software to create a better user experience:** **TREE GROUPS**   Was developed to better manage the navigation tree with large models and a high number of MTM's Moves, Tolerances, Measures. Simplifying and minimizing the Navigation Tree and Measurement Result Window.   The** CORDIAL HEIGHT** Preference setting With the Cordial Height setting the Mesh accuracy for the complex curved surfaces can be increased.  This is critical when doing gear models or producing accurate contacts between two curved surfaces   **FEATURE MOVE EXTRACTION** This gives the ability to extract Cad Constraints directly into DCS Feature moves. This enhances DVM for quick modeling if constraints exist.  This function is provided in all platforms but note: MVA and VA+MM can also extract joints and constraints as joints and constraints or feature moves.   **BEST FIT MOVE** Besides what was described in the webinar it is important to note that this move will become the move of the future as the industry moves to fixtureless designs and use robots to hold the parts in their best position based on the variation. ** Join the Webinar Learn about the new features ** Simulate Gear Contact Reduce Retooling and Optimize for Performance ![email-feb24-webinar-banner-lg](https://mkt.3dcs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CTA/email-feb24-webinar-banner-lg.png?width=787&name=email-feb24-webinar-banner-lg.png) ### Watch the Webinar ### Metrologic DCS North American Innovation Center 28064 Center Oaks Ct A, Wixom, MI 48393 Call us: +1 (248) 504 6200 [![Sandvik Group - Metrology Solutions](https://mkt.3dcs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logos/sandvik_group_endorsement_logotype_white_rgb.png?width=312&height=77&name=sandvik_group_endorsement_logotype_white_rgb.png)](https://www.manufacturingsolutions.sandvik/en/our-offering/metrology-solutions/) [mailto:sales@3dcs.com](mailto:sales@3dcs.com) Cookie Settings ### From Our Blog ### Reach out to us Copyright © 2025 Company, Inc.
