Mockup Updates - What's New (Updated 4/16/2014)

[pfwhite]

Yesterday (4/15/2014) we released a lot of great new functionality for Mockup 360; here’s what you can expect to see the next time you log in…

Dynamic Sectioning

Activating the section tool on the toolbar will now allow you to create section planes and slice your model to see hidden detail. You can create multiple section cuts concurrently and dynamically drag and rotate them to position them as you like.

 

Markup

Activate the markup tool to get the pen, line, ellipse, and other drawings tools you can use to markup and annotate what you want to highlight on the model.

 

Saved Views

Once you have a view you want to share or save for later, use the Share View command to save exactly what you are seeing. Everything currently on the screen will be saved in the view including the camera position, section planes, markups, and component visibility settings. Once you have saved the named view it will appear in the browser on the left hand side for you AND all of your collaborators. This command replaces the share/sync view commands and provides a more powerful way for you to communicate with your team.

Multiple Occurrences

Right clicking on a model under the components node in the browser will give you the option to create new occurrences of the model. This will create a copy of the model that you can place anywhere in the mockup. All occurrences will be associated back to the original model so any updates to that model will be propagated automatically to the occurrences.

Expanded Language Support

Mockup 360 is now available in French, German, and Japanese. Use the menu in the upper right-hand corner to change your language settings.

Changes to the Toolbar and Browser

As part of the changes in this update we move some things to the left hand browser for consistency. You can now find clashes, annotations, and collaborators listed in the browser. Right click on these nodes for specific options for each.

Mockup 360 Inventor Add-in

The Mockup 360 add-in has been updated! Users who had the add-in installed for Inventor 2013 or 2014 will need to uninstall the existing add-in from the Add/Remove Programs option in Windows. The new add-in can be downloaded from the link on the Mockup 360 client dashboard.

We hope you enjoy the improvements we have made to Mockup 360, and, as always, want to hear your feedback!

January 23, 2014 Update

Here are some of the notable changes you will see the next time you log into Mockup 360…

Free Move/Reposition

In addition to the current ability to snap-to-move we have added a new free move and rotate tool in the latest update to Mockup 360. When combined with snapping this should make it even easier to build the mockups you want. After the reposition command is activated and you select a feature, there will now be a triad that allows you to drag and rotate objects freely. When the triad is activated a mini-toolbar will also allow you to type in the specific distances you would like to move your model (i.e. 100mm along x-axis).  Before or after you drag your model around you can still select another geometry feature to snap your model to for a precise fit.

 

Other Enhancements and Fixes:

• Notable issue fixed: Dashboard is not clickable when sign in after sign out once viewer is loaded completely.  
• Notable issue fixed: Mockup 360 cannot be signed out from Dashboard.
• Notable issue fixed: The selected model still display in graphics if collaborators delete it. 
• Notable issue fixed: Mockup360 stops working when signing out during rending model.  
• Notable issue fixed: Mockup 360 crash when going back to dashboard without network connected.  
• Notable issue fixed: Mockup 360 crashes when close mockup client while loading files.  
• Notable issue fixed: Sign in dialog is hidden and cannot close Mockup client after session expired.
• Notable issue fixed:  Cannot sign out completely if enter a mockup by Open in Mockup 360 from A360.

You’ll Need a Little Extra Time for This Update
In addition to the new capability for building Mockups we upgraded our viewing technology last week as well. In order to get all the latest changes you will be directed to the Mockup 360 download page during this update to make sure all the correct components are installed on your machine. This will require some extra time (5-10 min.) beyond the usual update process so keep this in mind the next time you need to use Mockup.
