Improvements
New Environment Editor (1)
Offers much easier and faster administration of environments. Key features:
Filter to search for criteria and model types
Add Criteria via drag and drop to profile / model type
Create “Clones” via Copy – Paste The separate application to clone and rename criteria is not needed any more
The processing order of the criteria is defined by their order in the profile tree It replaces the “Processing Groups” and exceeds their possibilities by far
One editor for all environment settings – including model types, priorities, GUI settings
Stand alone application - can stay open while working in CATIA
One “qchecker.qcenv” for all settings

Improvements
The scanning of big models has been improved
Time to read very many elements has been reduced
License check of “DSLS” has been implemented
The default value of the CATIA environment keyword “TCAQC_LIC” is “DSLS”
More than one directory can be set for “TCAQC_ADMIN”
Profiles form different locations can be used
Option to delete “Internal Reports” added to “Profile Options” dialog
Useful for example if models should be migrated to CATIA V6
