• – Added the caulking and backer rod options to the graphics design screen so that those options can be changed per frame if needed.
• – Corrected the vents to draw correctly if a fame is reflected.
• – Corrected setting splices on an elevation to allow for one plice to have a gap and then another splice on the same frame to have no gap.
• – Corrected the ability to use edit door when a frame only is inserted.
• – Corrected added parts to show up on a copied project.
• – Increased the limit of pieces that could be cut out of a stock sheet for the glass optimization.
• – Corrected fabrication on head and sill channels if the part used was an assembly.
• – Each update also includes any pricing or design changes to parts and groups for all vendors that have been brought to our attention.
• – When sorting or filtering the project list the program will now remember those settings every time you come back to the project list.
• – Multiple changes to the Metal Fabrication screen:
• – Added the option to change the machine direction before importing a project.
• – Added a color guide to explain what information is missing or needs to be addressed.
• – Added the Bevel/Miter angle settings for output to one of our Rhino Fab Saws.
• – Added a Split Stick button to allow an item to be split into 2 different cut pieces.
• – The function keys F2, F3, F5 and F6 are now available on this screen.
• – Corrected the program from creating blank list if the New button is click and no Name is entered.
• – In the fab operations you can recall a fab from the Fab Library
• – The elevation drawing will not be in its shaded color that was preventing from seeing the stick ids on dark colored frames.
• – The filler ids now match the main stick ids of the part they are attached to.
• – Corrected the numbers on the screen when using metric.
• – Corrected an error in the Glass PO if a new line item is added.
• – Increased the speed of running Bid Recaps, POs, and Proposals for users with a very large amount of projects on the system.
• – If you renamed the labor zones we corrected the update process from renaming them back to the original names.

Changes in version 5.0.0.88

• – Corrected a pinning and unpinning issue of the main menu on left side of the program.
• – Corrected the fab orientation when a male vertical and female vertical part are switched.
• – Corrected fabrication errors when choosing the design stile of “all horizontals penetrate all verticals”

• – Corrected some hardware parts and quantities on ir500, 501, 501UT and 1620 metal systems.
• – Corrected the use of a Pair of doors with inframe not selecting the proper door frame material
• – Moved vinyl pieces on the BOM to the vinyl section.
• – Corrected the metric values of part lengths on the BOM, Part lists, and Project material summary reports.
• – Updated pricing for October 2015 price changes.
• – Corrected frame dimensions when using a Jamb Channel.
• – Corrected the Freq. Use Rule “Per Door Jamb Companion” to calculate correctly.
• – Corrected errors when using the option “Import DXF Frames”
• – Corrected an issue on the pop-screens, when hovering over a stick, to show the correct length as compared to the details on the right of the design editor when a stick is clicked on.
• – Improved the overall time during an update when merging parts and groups.

Changes in version 5.0.0.86

• – Redesign of the Fab Operations screen
• – Added detail images for more explanation of entering information.
• – Added detailed information about the part you have selected.
• – Added error checking for missing information required to correctly process the fabs.
• – Added an option to rout a pattern based on a DXF file. (Contact DeMichele Group for further details on this feature)
• – Corrected a dimension issue when using Metric.
• – Corrected an issue with importing frames from one project to another.
• – Added the option to skip combining sticks from all frames in a project during fabrication for the purpose of having the frameset and frame labeled on each stick.
• – Added the ability to optimize multiply stock sizes if they are setup on the part in catalog parts.
• – Corrected an error on certain types of logo files for the reports.
• – Added an option to quickly add manual fabs on the fab operation screen form the END or by OC of the part selected.
• – Corrected the AutoCad 2016 error when generating a cad shop drawing.
• – Under the Metal Fabrication option we are no labeling Face Members, Pressure Plates, etc. with “FC”, “PP”, etc. and starting the numbering at 1 to match it mating member. This allows for large numbering of parts for large projects.
• – Added the option on “Cut Stick” with choosing “X,Y Location” to input the X and or Y location in an input box.
• – Corrected frame dimensions when using a Jamb Channel.
• – Corrected the Freq. Use Rule “Per Door Jamb Companion” to calculate correctly.
• – Corrected errors when using the option “Import DXF Frames”.
• – Corrected an issue on the pop-screens, when hovering over a stick, to show the correct length as compared to the details on the right of the design editor when a stick is clicked on.
