Incremental release of market leading metrology software

North Kingstown, RI – November 24, 2009 – Hexagon Metrology announces the release of PC-DMIS 2009 Minor Release 1 (MR1), an incremental update to PC-DMIS 2009, which was newly released in July 2009.

"The model of doing frequent minor releases represents the continuation of our new agile programming model, which provides incremental value in terms of enhancing core stability plus faster release of important features that our customers have been asking for," said Ken Woodbine, president of PC-DMIS developer Wilcox Associates, Inc., a Hexagon Metrology company. "With this release we continue what we started with PC-DMIS 2009, offering value-added enhancements that are geared toward delivering the greatest benefit to a large cross-section of our customers."

PC-DMIS 2009 MR1 includes new features in all modules of the product including CMM, Vision, Portable (for Arms and Trackers), and NC probing. Many of the improved features focus on productivity gains; in the CMM version, automatic probe path creation and path editing, with graphical manipulation of path lines is included. A new setting called 'smart moves' allows "on the fly" insertion of probe moves during programming, without interruption to programming workflow. Programming enhancements that improve the speed of creating programs allow the implementation of new measurement routines quickly, which improves overall efficiency in the inspection department.

The PC-DMIS 2009 MR1 update is available for licenses with current software maintenance agreements via download from www.HexagonMetrology.us.
