What’s New 2010 in DimXpert
New Feature Recognition
The following features are now recognized by DimXpert tools.
Intersect Circles
An intersect circle is a circle derived at the intersection of a cone and plane. To show the
reference circle created by DimXpert, click View > Curves.

Patterns of Boss Features
DimXpert supports dimensioning and tolerancing of patterns of boss features.

Patterns of Cone Features
Patterns of cones are supported as long as the included angle is the same..

Auto Dimension Scheme
Polar Plus and Minus Dimension Schemes
iYou can use Auto Dimension Scheme to apply polar plus and minus dimension
schemes. Use the polar dimension scheme to apply DimXpert patterns with axial features
to define a bolt circle. In the Auto Dimension Scheme PropertyManager, set the Minimum number of holes to recognize as a pattern..

Dimension Layout
When you use Auto Dimension Scheme , the layout of dimensions has been improved
to account for the sketch direction.
The example below is the same part, but each sketch is extruded along a different axis:

Location Dimensions
You can apply location dimensions between pairs of axes and lines that are skew
(non-intersecting and non-parallel).
Supported feature types include cylinders, simple holes, counterbore holes, countersink
holes, cones, slots, and intersect lines.
