| This Service Pack is standalone and must be installed into a directory that does NOT contain prior releases. |
Package Changes
Beginning with R22 SP1, the SPAXDefaultGeometryRep.dll file was removed from the InterOp Base Runtime Library.
Platform Changes
Platform
In R22 SP2, ACIS and Generic CATIA V5 Reader and Writer, nor their Manufacturing Option are currently not supported on IBM AIX. AIX binaries will be available soon.
Enhancements and Functionality Changes
General
- Document Type Support
- The limitation for DocumentType in SPAIDocumentHeaderInfo has been fixed for STEP/UG/IGES/Parasolid formats. Refer to the updated Document Type Support table and Document Type in IGES for more details.
ACIS Reader/Writer Component
- Behavior Changes to Free Parts Translation in ASAT Write
- InterOp no longer creates an extra node for free parts. Free parts will be added as top-level entities. Refer to Free Parts Translation in ASAT Write for more details.
- When translating IGES or STEP part files to ACIS Assembly with the Flatten option set to false, the output will include ACIS ENTITY_LIST (not asm_model_list). If the output is an ACIS file, then the given ASAT extension will be replaced with SAT or SAB depending on the save mode (that is, text or binary). This behavior matches that of CATIA V5 and Pro/E to ACIS translators.
CATIA V5 Reader/Writer Component
- Support for CATIA V5 R22
- The CATIA V5 Reader/Writer Component supports importing and exporting CATIA V5 R22 parts and assemblies on Windows platforms only. Refer to InterOp Platform Support for more details.
Pro/E Reader Component
- Pro/E Hidden Entity Support
- The Pro/E Reader Component now supports Hidden entities. Refer to Hidden Entity Support for more details.
- Translation of PMI Datum for Free Points and Workplanes
- Pro/E files can have simple free points and workplanes as construction geometries. These are not true PMI datum although the functional tooltip in Pro/E indicates them as such. Hence, the Pro/E Reader exports them as free points and workplanes; the component no longer exports them as PMI datum with the name "Default".
STEP Reader Component
- DocumentType Limitation Resolved
- The DocumentType limitation in which most of the STEP Assembly files used to provide Part+Assembly has been resolved. Beginning with this release, the correct DocumentType from STEP files in SPAIDocumentHeaderInfo will be provided.
Unigraphics Reader Component
- Support for Unigraphics NX8
- The Unigraphics Reader Component supports NX8 part, assembly, and PMI. Refer to Unigraphics Reader for more details.
XML E-BOM Writer Component
- Support for Pro/E Configuration Name
- The XML E-BOM Writer component supports translation of configuration names from Pro/E files. Refer to XML E-BOM Writer for configname for more details.
- Support for Pro/E Hidden Flag
- The XML E-BOM Writer component supports translation of the Hidden flag from Pro/E files. Refer to XML E-BOM Writer for more details.

Understanding False Memory Leaks Reported in ACIS-based MFC Applications
False memory leaks are reports of leaks by memory management systems that can be proven to be erroneous. In this case Spatial specifically refers to the leak reports generated by the Microsoft debug CRT when an ACIS-based MFC application exits.
Faulty leak reports are generated when the runtime library that was loaded last exits, not when the runtime library that was loaded first exits. In other words, the faulty leaks are reported when the first runtime library exits, not when the last one exits. (This is a bug that has been acknowledged by Microsoft.) Moreover, other libraries may be unloaded after the first runtime library exits. These other libraries may free memory when they unload, which is the case with ACIS libraries. These deallocations can occur after the leak report has already been generated, in which case they are incorrectly reported as leaks.
No faulty leaks are reported when all runtime libraries are loaded before other libraries during application startup. This desirable behavior can be achieved by managing link order and by managing the types of run-times used by the application.
Libraries specified as additional dependencies in the project settings are loaded in the order specified before all other libraries. (This is referred to as "explicit linkage".) Adding the appropriate MFC runtime library to the beginning of the link dependencies should remove erroneous leaks in most cases. Additionally, you can load all libraries with the use of pragmas. This is the suggested way to link ACIS libraries into your application. (This is referred to as "implicit linkage".) From our experience, applications that link libraries implicitly are less likely to encounter faulty leak reports. Note that pragmas added to source code will, therefore, require project rebuilds.
Faulty leak reports can also occur when mixed versions of runtime libraries are loaded because of dependencies from other libraries. For example, a typical MFC application may use MFC80D.DLL and have dependencies on other libraries that use MFC80UD.DLL. The latter library may be loaded after other libraries have been loaded, specifically after ACIS libraries are loaded. This is a scenario for faulty leak reports since libraries are unloaded in reverse load order. This cannot be solved with explicit linkage because of link errors (such as multiply defined symbols) and mixed runtime issues. The best solution is to manage the types of run-times used by the application by using the same ones whenever possible.
