  • This issue has now been fixed, all settings in 2.1.4.0 should hold as required.

    Outstanding Defects

  • Popup does not work in grid cells when tooltip present and line length exceeds width (#192)

  • A tool tip is presented when the cursor moves into a grid cell where there are more characters than can be displayed. In these cases the popup menu on right mouse button click no longer works. E.g. in select parameter dialog, if the parameter set name column is narrower than the parameter set name, then when you move the mouse into the cell a tooltip appears displaying the full name. However, a right mouse click does not produce a popup menu. In order to copy or do any other popup menu operation either the column must be increased in width until all characters displayed or the menu bar at the top of the dialog must be used.

  • Help buttons are ignored on some dialogs. (#276)

  • The Help button on all properties and job details pages does not work correctly. The Help option on the main menu is unaffected. Also see ticket No. '#485'

  • Cancelling a Dialog Leaves Old Parameter File Behind (#306)

  • Changes to local parameter contine to exist even if you cancel changes within the window/door/screen dialog. This affects windows, doors and screens.

  • The 'Colours' column in the job summary does not get updated properly. (#316)

  • The last column on the main job summary which lists all the different colours for items is not being updated correctly as items change. This causes duplicate colours to show although when the items are opened and printed the correct colours are shown.

  • Online help not working over a network (#485)

  • Online help is not working correctly over a network environment, in a client / server topology.

    To overcome this short term situation, you could copy the help file jms.chm from the server to your local computer and run it from there.

    On a new installation, the installer/trainer will adjust your computer settings to enable the computer to view the jms.chm file over the local network. This problem hase been caused by Microsoft.

  • Allow all windows parameter sets to be deleted if customer not using Windows module (#592)
  • User named Admin is able to log in on two computers at the same time (#787)
  • Top and Bottom Estimate Text Cannot Exceed 1 A4 Page (#860)

  • Estimate top and bottom text cannot individually exceed 1 side of A4

  • Wrong picture displayed for first template in template folder with no picture data (#875)
  • Job is not recomputed if parameter change made via QuickMenu (#903)

  • In version 2.1.2.1 we have included a 'Recompute Job' button as a temporary fix to resolve this issue. In a later release this button may be removed to allow for a more intuitive approach to recalculating a cost of a job after a change has been made.

    This new 'Recompute Job' button can be found on the 'Job Details' dialog box.

    See also ticket #1030

  • Casement Window. Not holding frame sash rebate information in quickmenu (#1330)

  • From within the Quick Menu, should you drill down to the rebates (row 13, a4)and click on Rebates you will open up the Rebates dialog box.
    Entering any rebate information at this point will not be saved back to the main parameter.
    Should you wish to alter the rebates of a casement window, you would be advised to enter into the Full Menu and change the required rebates starting at row 92.

  • Minutes per door is not doubled when a pair of doors are selected. (#40)

  • In the door parameter file under Labour Time Rates, The minutes per item 'm16' time is not being doubled when you select double doors in 'q48'.

  • Changing from grooves to rebates in a door does not redraw the shoulders in the correct place. (#194)

  • When you call up a template door, '2x2G' for example, and and change in the 'parameter file' line 'q54' to 'Panel Grooves' . Now right click below the mid rail and select 'Rebates, Grooves, Stop beads' then select 'Rebates' the shoulder lines for the mid rail do not adjust to reflect the new option. The mid rail may be the wrong length depending on how you manufacture the door.

  • Mortices in rebates option in screen frames not having any visible effect (#288)

  • Mortices in rebates option 'q30' in screens should toggle the annotation for component view width from view width to between rebates width in the same manner as for casement windows.

  • The annotation on a door with a lock rail is wrong. (#352)

  • The annotation currently does not reflect the differences between the above and below lock rail grooves/rebate setting.

  • Comb joint reduction not being taken into account on the vertical setting out in casement windows. (#406)

  • Comb joint reduction 'v20' is not implemented on the vertical setting out. If the top tenon was 42mm prior to the comb joint reduction, it is still 42mm after the reduction. This will give you the wrong setting out marks.

  • Threshold length incorrect in a Screen (#427)

  • The length of the 'threshold' used in a screen is incorrect. The length given is the width of the frame less the thickness of both jambs. The frame rebates are not being taken into account.

  • Screens: Shoulder lengths incorrect: Version 2.1.1.1 (#553)
  • Screen With Opening In Door Retains Opening In Settings When Door Removed (#666)
