__TOC__




=Summary of Enhancement Information=


*This version retains both the XYZ and YBC data intact.  There is no forced conversion in one direction or another between the two data types.

*Now ALL data found in an FIF file is converted to the Supravision format.

*Distance data can be automatically converted to the other unit (Millimeters to Inches, or Inches to Millimeters).

*Improved error handling.

=NEW Conversion Features=

*NEW - Properly skip REFERENCE points in the XYZ data.  (Reference points are not intersection or end points.  They are not used to define the shape of the tube.)
<br>
*NEW - Retain XYZ data as it exists in the FIF file.  No longer attempt a recalc from YBC to XYZ.  This allows measuring centers to be sure to retain original XYZ MASTER data during conversion.

=Automatic Conversion of Units=
[[image:Fiftrans4_convertunit.jpg|thumb|300px]]
NEW - All distance values can be automatically converted to the opposite unit during conversion.

''Note: This does not apply to the EXTENDED Setup data, as Supravision does not attempt to convert these values between units.
