April showers bring May flowers, but more importantly, another set of Voyager and Scanner updates. Look forward to a number of usability and interface enhancements to Voyager as well as Scanner Autowarm, just in time for the approaching summer heat.
Organization Management Improvements
Voyager's April release streamlines organizational management by showing workspaces and projects from one organization at a time in the project dashboard (vs the prior experience, where all organizations, workspaces, and projects were visible in a single list). You can now easily switch between organizations via the user menu, and your selected organization persists across sessions.
(New!) Unit System Switching
Users can now set their preferred unit system (metric or imperial) by clicking on the “Settings” button and selecting the system under the “User Preferences” section.
CAD Comparison Simplification
Prior to this update, comparing CAD models, meshes, and scans required two separate, somewhat disconnected steps: mesh alignment first, and then mesh comparison. CAD compare is now more user-friendly with guided steps through a single workflow.
(New!) Scanner Autowarm
Manual scanner warm-up, which is required to prepare the X-Ray for scanning, can take anywhere from a few to twenty minutes to complete (daily) With auto-warming, your scanner warms itself at a designated daily time, so that you can save time and scan right away. Reach out to our Solutions Team or your sales rep if you are interested in enabling autowarm to your scanner.
Other Enhancements
- Slice sliders now display physical units, which you can adjust to various precision levels
- ROI bounding boxes are now available and visible (with a toggle) on parent volumes and bookmarks
- Crop box handles now scale with the box size, making it easier to pinpoint – in particular, small – crop box bounds
- Using the auto-tuner on the scanner should now yield faster and better scans
