Dirac, Inc. Release Notes

V1.0.0

  1. Simulation Overhaul:
    1. Animations: We completely overhauled how we generate animations! Our new animations are not only significantly more accurate, but calculated much faster! BuildOS also automatically determines new animations when your assembly structure and sequence changes, so the visuals are always kept accurate and up to date.
    2. Assembly Sequence Suggestions: BuildOS now has the ability to accept recommended sequences for individual subassemblies in addition to the entire project. We also reworked the assembly sequence calculation to make it faster and more accurate, cutting down the time it takes you to create a set of instructions.
  2. Tremendous UI improvements: We completely rebuilt our user interfaces, making them easier to use, more performant, and much easier on the eyes! We’re proud of our new UI and confident it will make your journey in BuildOS a pleasure!
  3. Improved Upload Performance and JT Support: We made our upload services faster and much more robust, and expanded test coverage for all of our supported filetypes. We also added JT as a supported filetype!
  4. Streamlined Workflows: We’ve completely changed the user workflow within a project on how you create instructions. Now you can make changes to your assembly’s hierarchy and immediately iterate on the instructions! You no longer have to wait for simulation results in order to create your instructions.
  5. New Assembly Steps: We’ve improved on our instruction specific CAD structures with the addition of Kits! Kits are groups of groups of parts which are installed sequentially in one step. An operator no longer needs to guess on the order for a complex assembly step, as they will now see multiple parts installed in a clear and concise visual assembly sequence.
  6. Improved Application of Contextual Knowledge: We’ve improved upon our tools, notes, and media features, and given you additional tools to control how they are applied. Now you can easily decide which items are applied to all of your instructions, which are specific to a given instruction step, and easily make changes.
  7. Architectural Upgrades: We re-architected BuildOS for deployment into GovCloud environments. This also comes with performance and robustness upgrades, benefiting all users! Managed with Terraform, our architecture is built on Docker and leverages a microservices approach, ensuring scalability, security, and efficiency.
  8. Part Highlighting: We added the ability to highlight parts in the 3D viewer, which shows wireframes of all other parts not highlighted. This is one of our favorite new additions which significantly improves navigating your 3D model and determining how to structure your instructions. 
  9. New Annotation Tools: We’ve improved our annotation tools, allowing you to create higher quality annotations to add important information to your instruction steps.
  10. Project Sharing: BuildOS now allows you to control who has access to your instructions, providing for need-to-know requirements. You can also easily share your project with your whole team if you do not need to restrict access.
  11. Tool Images: No more guessing if you have the correct tool! We’ve added the ability to add tool images in your library, giving your operators clear direction to follow the instructions.
  12. Support: We have streamlined our internal support workflows. We’ve taken extra care to ensure it is given proper visibility to our engineering teams to significantly reduce turnaround times to resolving your issues.
