7.0.0-Release Candidate 10

This is the 7.0.0 Release Candidate 10. Below are listed the many bug fixes and updates that have gone into this release.

  • Release Date: April 04 2024
  • Expiration Date: June 04 2024

Known Issues

  • Trying to load a .dream3d file that contains a "StatsData" object will cause DREAM3D-NX to crash or refuse to load the file. You can use HDFView to remove the DataContainers/StatsGeneratorDataContainer group.
  • Long visualization operations can lock up the GUI. Please be patient for those operations to end.

What's New in DREAM3D-NX

Key updates

  • Oxford Aztec Import

    Oxford Aztec Import

    A new filter has been added that can import Oxford Instruments Aztec .h5oina files. This support is initial and supports version 2.0 of the .h5oina specification. More information can be found in the documentation for the filter

  • Enhanced DataStructure TreeView

    Enhanced DataStructure TreeView

    The DataStructure tree view has had additional visual cues that help the user determine the heirarchy struture more easily.

  • Drag-and-Drop to Insert Filters

    Drag-and-Drop files to insert a filter

    Instead of searching for a filter to read a filter, just simply drag-and-drop the file to the pipeline area. If there are multiple filters that can read the file a dialog will be presented asking which filter you would like to use. If there is only a single filter that can read the file the filter will be automatically inserted into the pipeline. In either case, the appropriate parameter will be automatically filled in for the user.

  • Stream Pipeline output to log file

    Stream Log File

    If you would like to stream the pipeline output to a file real-time, just click the button and select an output file.

  • Easier Import CSV Files

    Import CSV File Improvements

    • The tuple dimensions should be filled in with a more accurate guess
    • You can now edit headers from the file (if you don't like their headers)
    • Other misc. bugs that were interfearing with a smooth user experience

  • Measure Tool Improvements

    Measure Tool Improvements

    The measure tool has seen vast usability improvements. Select the tool from the toolbar, hold down the "1" key while clicking to select the first point, and hold down the "2" key while clicking to select the second point.

  • Orientation Marker Update

    Orientation Marker Update

    The orientation marker has been visually updated with a labeled cube. This allows the user to quickly identify what part of the geometry is being viewed.
