RevWorks attempts to maintain backwards compatibility with earlier versions of SOLIDWORKS. You have selected an option that RevWorks only supports on versions of SOLIDWORKS later than the version you are currently using.

 

 

 

The spline curvature is too extreme between one or more points to sort.

 

The proximity of points on the spline is probably too close for the accuracy of the digitizing device, resulting in closely spaced, erratic point data. The spline, if generated would probably be self-intersecting.

 

 

 

The version of the attached SIM key is not supported by this software version. Please contact Revware to correct the problem.

 

The attached SIM security key is not compatible with the current RevWorks version. Contact Revware Technical Support to correct the problem.

 

 

 

Touch type probes may not be used while in scan point collection mode.

 

Touch probes are not compatible with scan point mode data collection. Scan point mode is designed for data gathering with the probe in constant contact with the surface. Touch probes trigger data collection by sensing a deflection of the probe. A touch probe, in constant contact with the surface would not be able to cycle point detection or would provide erroneous data.

WARNING! This probe has not been qualified for this probe set.

 

The probe you are about to used has not been qualified. If you are using this probe in combination with other probes to collect data your results may be offset by an undetermined amount.

 

 

 

WARNING: Since the reference probe was not qualified in this session, its coordinate system may not match the current coordinate system.

 

A reminder that the use of an unqualified reference probe during data collection may result in the creation of features that do not register with previously collected data.

 

 

 

WARNING! The reference probe was not qualified during this session. The current coordinate system MAY BE DIFFERENT than the coordinate system in use during the reference probe qualification. We recommend that you re-qualify the reference probe again.

 

You are about to use a reference probe that has not been qualified. If you are using this probe in combination with other probes to collect data your results may be offset by an undetermined amount.

 

 

 

Warning! Using the POINT method for determining the origin or the Horizontal Axis with a ball probe will lead to an erroneous custom datum since points are not compensated.

 

Compensation is turned off during datum creation. Any data collected with a point probe is at ball center. This may adversely affect the position and alignment of these datum features.

 

 

 

WARNING!! Your license key will expire on [specified day]. Please call Revware, Inc to renew your key.

 

The temporary registration for your copy of RevWorks is about to expire. If you have a hardware security key, attaché it to you computer’s parallel port when using RevWorks. If you need to acquire a permanent license, contact Revware Sales.
