VersionStateDate
Changes since last version
2.2.1.release27/Jun/2008
Bug fixes
This is mainly a bug-fixing release. You can view these by picking "with buglist" at the top.
PAF enabled
This now supports PAF licensing.
CSV output
This now contains the partname as well.
Security
New switch to avoid the deletion of parts by operators
Piece area change stopped
New switch to avoid the changeing piece area by operators
New function
Export CSV -> Efficiency / Waste Summary (what is exported depends on Efficiency switch : Shoecost options -> Piece)
Smallest Rectangle
This now contains the smallest value.
Smallest Rectangle(2)
Smallest rectangle called from Waste dialog + for all parts from Piece menu.
Long length filenames
Max filename length is now .
2.0.8.release11/Jun/2007
Cosmetic only change
This release is as per 2.0.7, but with Delcam splash and about screens, and registry entries.
There are no functional changes.
2.0.7.release08/Mar/2007
New Waste calculation formula
New Waste calculation new formula (updated 2.0.4) only for Preview, not for Theoretical calc.
Waste display
User Waste update - add Actual Waste, now has posibility to see it in Piece Menu Efficiency and also Waste.
Drawing of rotated pieces in nesting
Small problem with this fixed.
Efficiency could be visible instead of Waste in Waste column
Efficiency can be visible instead of Waste in Waste column, 'Piece' options dialog has new Edit box for customized efficiency name and switch.
I also find The theoretical value changes when we select the new waste (1-efficiency) in Files-properties-waste and now the theoretical uses the new waste figure to calculate the new theoretical(using old formula) whereas this figure should remain unchanged irrespective of which waste value is used. ie the theoretical should always use the old waste results in all its calculation as long as the old formula is used for calculating its value.
Piece rotation in Merge function enabled, wheel mouse only.
This partially completed function has been picked up as a possible solution to digitising parts that are two big for the users digitiser. While it can just about be used as it is it would be completed by the ability to rotate the moving piece and the ability to move the piece by smaller steps to get the position exactly right. Though not essential to the function some capability to 'recognise the common boundary' (when there is one) some that the two halves could be snapped together would be a added bonus.
The one problem it has at the moment is that you can't zoom in and move the piece because you have to pick the centre of the piece which can be zoomed out of the view. (Bigger window?).
Smallest bounded rectangle
Bounded rectangle information altered with Yield on Yield column. 'Piece' options dialog has new Edit box for customized name and switch for enable/disable of this feature.
2.0.2.archive03/Aug/2006
Measure facility
Ability to measure along parts of a line added.
General
Several minor problems fixed.
2.0.0.archive21/Mar/2006
Manual Parallegram
When using manual parallegram to make synthetic nesting, the system did not update the Pair/Add, and put the wrong Yield in the piece table.
Synthetic Nesting
When nesting a synthetic layout the system did not update the Yield in the piece table - fixed.
Pair/Additionals summary
Pair / Additional summary added.
Nesting inconsistency
Several nesting inconsistencies corrected.
1.1.10-6.archive09/Dec/2005
New Install Shield program
This now allows you to update the release, rather than delete it and then re-install it.
Network licence update
Network licence now works.
1.1.10-5.archive11/Nov/2005
Yield calculation change
.Yield computed only from pieces of actual part, additional pieces are not included, but only displayed in last column in piece table. - KU is included into yield calculation in piece table.
Allowance and PerPair in PieceInfo dialog
Possibility to change Allowance and PerPair in PieceInfo dialog.
Leather filename
Leather name (*.lth) also displayed in material column if nesting to leather is done.
New CSV report
Yield summary CSV export can be produced.
Export to CSV
Material table also with piece information.
Linear calculation
Show instead of Total area (Material table) - Total Yield (yield hasn't unit) but only if yield price calculation is chosen !! Theoretical (Base area) is grayed.
Allowance is customised
String 'Allowance' is customized : if it is renamed in options (ShoeCost options->Piece) system show always this term (Gap, space, margin, clearance? ) .
Switch for specific customer
Customer uses advanced system of calculating KU. We added an option. So if the switch 'KU - Utilization coefficient calc method' is :- Group (average area per piece) - system sum piece areas of pieces with the same material and divides it by number of pairs to get average area, This average are is base for KU (area coefficient) table.
Switching display
'Use Theoretical area for calculation of KU (Area * (1+waste))' must be switched ON for above function to work. It means that piece areas are multiplied by Waste for KU calculation. This value they called Theoretical (we didn't show it before), and Theoretical * KU is Base Area. If customer wants to see Theoretical (PieceArea * Waste) in our column Theoretical they must use switch 'Display theoretical w/o KU' . The piece BaseArea is than displayed in Material table - full view, otherwise is BaseArea displayed in theoretical column in PieceTable,and customer could rename column name to 'Base Area'
Layout Preview windows
These have been updated - more information about various nestings.
Export CSV
New export CSV, Materials, material table with new database items : Ref1 and Ref2
Rotation
Auto-set Rotation type based on material database entry
Shortcut keys
New shortcuts F9 F8 F7 for quick calculation
Linear material calculation
Linear material calculation update - two formulas available
Piece table
New column Pairs/Additionals - show pairs and number of additional pieces. Also displays theoretical yield in Yield column for leather materials in Piece table. Also CSV export avaialable. Update many other functions in Piece table to cover all sizes. i.e. piece name, allowance, copy piece
Leather *.lth files
Count and display Material area in Nesting window - status bar - updated for leather *.lth files
Import 2nd cut file
Import multisize 2nd CUT file into all possible sizes
Delete Piece
Allow deletion of piece across all sizes in one action.
Nest layout printing
Nesting layouts can now be printed
Multiple size changes
Changing the value of a part at one size now reflects across all the sizes of that part
1.1.07.release31/Aug/2004
Automatic Nest
Automatic nesting improvement - the 2nd algorithm ('auto bump') was improved for better efficiency.
Batches
The batch function was improved for allowing multiple sizes.
Operation Database
Implementation of pictures for better operation description
Assessment
Automatic Pattern Assessment, Leather Assessment and Synthetic nesting. methods (per pair) has been implemented (in right mouse button pop-up menu when clicking on the 'Waste' column). Automatic Collective Rubber Band, Square and Disk method has been implemented.
Security
Passwords were corrected with 6 characters for the initials
Collective selection
Function to set pieces parameters collectively for all or selected pieces.
Nesting
Improved both manual and synthetic nesting
P.A
Upgraded method of PA (1. step : first piece, 2. step: second piece: not rotated, 3.st continued by pair rotated, 4th step second pair again rotated, 5th 4 pieces to have 8 as a result.).
New Functions
Move, rotate layout and move to [0,0] position.
Material Data
Automatically copy material data to all sizes added.
Information duplication
Various pieces of data, (i.e. rotation values) copied to all sizes when set for one.
CSV Output
CSV export update - fixed price and area digits, mat. size only for synthetics, show Material Code
