Shape Editor in Order Entry

There is sometimes a wish to amend library shapes.  This process has been updated so the shape editor that has been used in VCADevice is used, this allows more sophisticated changing to the shape and will adjust drill holes positions also.

Lifestyle

There is a need sometimes for questions to be gathered which in turn are used to calculate a design code. These questions are a questionairre with multiple choice answers. 

There is a new field in the technical data for Lifestyle, this is filled with a new for the lifestyle. 

There needs to be a CSV file with the same name placed in the files folder.  This CSV file has rows to cover each combination  of the answers. The answers are placed in columns in the same sequence and the selected designed code is placed in the column with the title "Answer".

Annapurna will look at the answers provided and select the appropriate design code for the answers provided. This can then be passed to the freeform engine via Kalahari or to supplier of the lenses.

Location Report

This report has been updated so machines (optical machine and PC IP address) can be collected into Areas.  Reports can then be run by area.  In order to add machines into the areas, a report should be run and all the machines used in that report are noted.  Alongside the Area selection, there is a + icon.  This is clicked and the machines in the report are listed.  Existing areas are shown or new areas can be added.  Machines can be added into areas for subsequent reporting.

Paused section.

There is a new section added: Paused.  

If a job is tracked to this section then the processing of this order is deemed to have been paused until some external action has taken place.  Such orders are highlighted with the entered date as 'Pale Mint' as in the browse order screen.  The report on performance has been updated so that paused orders are excluded from this report.

Copy Caption with right click

There is a new feature when screen labels such as order number or customer number can be copied to the clipboard by right click over the label.  This can then be pasted where required.

Editing Drill Hole Positions

VCADevice has been updated with improvements to adding / editing / removing drill holes.

The screen can be stretched so that the drawing of the shape can be true size.  The former can then be overlaid on the screen and mouse used to click on the position of the drill.  This will be more accurate on a screen with a greater number of pixels per inch.  Besides each drill line there is a selection box and if ticked then the lines ticked can be moved simultaneously up / down / left /right in the same direction.  If two lines are ticked then the line can be converted into a slot and if one line is selected then and it is a slot then the slot is split into two holes.

There is also the facility to save the drill hole information which can then be loaded into the drill holes for another frame.
