Changes since last version
2.12.0.release12/03/2010
Wedge Angle
A problem with the direction of adjustment of the wedge angle has been corrected.
Toe Spring
The blending at the feather line after using the toe spring function has been improved
Arch
The program would crash if you picked 'Add Arch Support' before doing anything else. this has been fixed.
Location Pins
If you defined the cut plane then cut the leg or last and used 'Location Pins Properties' the program crashed. The option only becomes active once a 'Cut Plane' is defined and it now also only become inactive again once the leg and last have been cut.
Grading
After grading the Last, that has the control in my Default.GRF grade file, but has no Heel Height grade and no toe spring grade. The Heel Height and toe spring are graded but it also put the contact point of the ball through the floor. This had been corrected. Only files can be checked and fixed with the Orientation function if necessary
Heel Height
The 'Tools > Advanced Edit > Edit Heel Height' option was not working correctly. The sense of the adjustment was the wrong way around, this has been corrected
Foot Print
With a footprint image loaded and positioned under an opened last, using the Width Only function from the 'Tools - Ortho' menu and modifying the width of the last, with the image still displayed, moved the image away from its original position (attached to the axis of the template line/floor). This has been corrected.
Toe Spring
The Toe spring tool for adjusting the toe spring of the foot in the Compare function D/Box was inactive. This has now been made active.
Boot Leg Plane
It is now possible to remove this plane
Line Selection
A minor problem with lines selection has been corrected.
Toe Swap
The 'From File' option of Toe Swap operation crashed the program if used. this has been corrected.
Solid View
While working in the 'Orthotic' area it could become impossible to turn on the solid view of the Last. This has been corrected
Extended Last
Having extended last, created a Heel Section and used 'Edit Points > Upper Section' the last would incur some distortion. This is corrected
Export/Save as
After import this function now re-uses the imported file name as the basis for a new .v3e last file
Heel height
There is now an option to control the back height of a last in the 'Gender' file.
Heel height
Heel Height function 'created' Control planes. This has been inhibited
Edit Lines
An icon is added to the tool tray for this option as a convenience
Flattening
Flattening the bottom had corners around the TOE and SEAT areas. By using the 'By Properties' line smooth function and re-flatten, it smoothed the TOE and SEAT areas but, the START and END points were not joined. This is corrected.
Export Axes
For Insole or bottom flattening the heel seat and last axis lines are now both included/exported.
Entrance Axis
The value entered is now remembered.
Footprint
The image could lose its position on floor axis when using the Ortho -> Width Only adjustment. This is fixed
Line Information
A small problem with this function has been corrected.
Section Export
A small error in the displayed message has been corrected.
Ball Girth
Ball Girth should have modified the width and the height of the ball proportionally but was only applying the modification on the width of the last. Also it should not have been be possible to modify just the I/S, O/S of a girth measurement. The adjustment is now applied to the overall girth but retains the curvature of the bottom.
Body
References to the out of date term 'Body' have ben removed.
Modify Sections
Several problems with the 2D section edit facility have been corrected.
2.10.0.archive16/12/2009
Adjustment of area behind the ball joint
If the ball joint control plane is moved and/or the angle changed, the option to adjust the area immediately behind the control plane should be available. Moves the ball area in position and angle in accordance to the adjustment made to the corresponding control plane.
Orthotic support insoles for Lasts
Apply a last insole block to the last bottom by creating a 'bite line' above the feather edge, a 'wedge' shaped block is created from the bite line, down past the feather edge to a defined measurement below the last forming the basis of the support insole block.
Last extension for boot legs
The creation and modification functionality to produce a boot leg extension to an existing last.
Boot last leg cutting
The boot leg cutting function is specific to ankle and boot lasts.
Heel Height
Improvement to he Heel Height functionality to allow the height to be increased or decreased without affecting the Wedge Angle, Back Curve, or the top of the last. This modification also maintains the bottom length measurement of the last, although the overall stick length may change.
Last bending
New functionality which modifies the last shape from the bottom mid section, allowing the last to be 'bent' either inwards or outwards, giving the appearance of a 'banana' shape. A common condition in Orthopaedic feet and a major requirement for the program.
Display
The option to show or hide 'orthotics' has been added to the display dialog.
Advanced Edit
Access to a comprehensive adjustment dialog has been added to the Tools-Advanced Edit menu to make adjustments to all last modification parameters. For example, Scale, Heel to Toe, Heel to Ball, Ball Height Position, Ball, Instep Height Position, Heel, Entrance, Cone Top, Toe Width, Toe and Arch.
Engineer exports
The .PAT export (to Engineer) is now correct containing the bottom profile, with the start/end point on the 'inside' and the centre line toe to heel.
Ball cross section
A problem with the grading axis and this adjustment has been corrected.
Boot Leg Extension
A warning has been added if one or more crosssections fail to be created.
Help
Function key F1 did not open help pages. This is corrected.
Toe Swap
A problem connected with the use of Toe Swap that could cause the program to crash has been corrected.
Orientation Line
The addition of this line for KnifeCut in the .cut output caused problems for LastMaker and ShoeCost (2). The problem has been corrected.
Boot Leg Extension
In the Boot Leg dialog if the girth value was changed and applied the extended last was damaged. This has been corrected.
About
The program maintenance date is now shown in the 'About dialog'.
Ball Position
The default ball control plane is now calculated using the heel tangent to the tangent in the Ball area. It should be noted that this position can always be adjusted using the Verify-Sections-Move and Rotate function.
Control Planes
These may now be created up the leg of a boot last. The default control planes on the boot leg are defined either by measurement or by a percentage of the last length.
Grading Rules
It is now possible to control the grade of the leg height and, the 'grading size' is allowed to be up to size 58.
Flattened Bottom Export
The last axis line is also exported.
Editing Points
New functionality allowing Control Planes and Cross Sections to be edited within a 2D Window with these changes also being shown on the 3D model.
