    We would like the ability to compare two AutoPIPE models against each other for the purpose to locating changes as new models are created.

    Our current work process is to receive PCF's from the 3D design model, translate, analysis and suggest changes if needed to the design team, then repeat as the 3D model changes. Currently the only way to see design changes is to visually search th...

    Allow small letters in point names to increase node limit to 40000

    If increasing the length of point names to 5 or six letters is too hard, I suggest allowing the use of small letters aa to zz. This will increase the number of segments and number of nodes by 4 times to about 2800 segments and 40,000 nodes.
