Key Enhancement Update for DISCUS Software Now Available – Discus 7.2 Enhancements Improve Process and Save Time
Columbus, OH (PRWEB) September 30, 2014 -- DISCUS Software based in Columbus, Ohio announced today that the much anticipated key enhancement software update is now available. The DISCUS software tools are productivity solutions that dramatically reduce the time it takes to complete first article inspection, in-process inspection planning and process planning.
The 7.2 update includes enhancements to DISCUS Desktop, OCR, Planner and 3D DISCUS products. Key features to the software update include:
•The ability to compare PDFs improvements: This is ideal for finding the differences between revisions. Any changes in the new revision will display in the color you select.
•Enhanced OCR: The auto-compile option in the OCR Settings will auto-populate the Bill of Characteristics. As soon as you balloon, you will realize the structured data immediately.
•New OCR options - GD&T Dimensions, Text/Notes or Automatic. With Automatic, DISCUS will pick the best OCR recognition between GD&T Dimensions or Text/Notes, no need to switch between the two--it’s done for you.
•The OCR option last selected will persist as for your default even if you close and reopen the Characteristics Properties and/or the Technical Data Package (TDP). Whatever option you last select will be retained.
•Characteristic Editing and Navigation: Now you can leave the Characteristics Properties window up and navigate to any characteristic by selecting in the drawing panel or the Bill of Characteristics (BoC). The Characteristic Properties window has also been streamlined to take less screen space to facilitate characteristic editing.
Marketing Manager for DISCUS, Jake Hart comments, “This latest release offers improvements that will provide even greater efficiency for our users. The ability to compare PDF improvements has been dramatically simplified and will save time.” Targeted at the manufacturing, aerospace, automotive and medical device industries, DISCUS Software provides customer centric, modularized software with efficient and thorough customer support.“
