Instead of applying only 20 glass/sheet options we can now apply 50 glass/sheet options to the Glass Parameters.

The original Tilt & Turn hanging notation was not allowing other options, we now have three other options.
To make your choice of hanging notation for your drawings go to:

• 1 File > Properties > Joinery Remember here you are choosing a Left Hand option.
  
• 2 Choose your preferred option from the A B C & D which will represent a Left hand opening in casement.
  Viewed from outside
• 3 Having then gone on to produce the window at local level you then use Right Click > Hang
  to choose the opposite Right Hand alternative.

The following applies to:

• Estimate/Quotation
  
• Invoice
  
• Delivery Notes
  
• Own Print Item
  

Using Print Manager>Template Options for the above Print Out Types
You will notice an extra option Titled Show Sub Item Descriptions for Screens if No
is choosen then when a door or casement or both are placed into a screen frame then descriptive
text for the door or casement will not appear on the print out. Only the screen frame descriptive
text will appear.

These four new head stops work with Doors and Screens
These four new additional stops when "Useage" is set to "yes" will replace the existing Frame Plant On Stops at the head.
Also when these new stops are applied there is an additional "c20" Frame head door seal available.

The new frame stops available are:

• "i203","Outer head stop"
  
• "i204","Outer head packer"
  
• "i205","Inner head packer"
  
• "i206","Inner head stop"
  
• "c20","Additional frame head door seal"
  

Please remember If "i203" or "i206" are set to "yes" JMS will try and add all 4 items (if they are set "yes").

One of the options included is Breezeway the other is Sash Less Unit.
These new options are aimed towards the Estimate/Quotation only.
They are available in Screens and Screen Casements

This new alternative is for our Australian customers who prefere to see Height before Width on the detailed cutting list.
This option is choosen at File > Properties > Other Settings

First option Angled/ Cant Cills

• 1 In the Door or Screen Parameter go to Items and "i6 cill" and enter a Width & Thickness of the finished
  cill that you expect to see on the cutting list.
  
• 2 Again in the Parameter go to MISCELLANEOUS VALUES "v133" Cill Working Height" or "v134" Winglight Cill working height"
  enter a dimension that represents the working height (top most edge) of the Angled/Cant Cill from the bottom of the frame.
  

Having choosen to use this Angled/ Cant Cill facility you can still configure as before "Cill rebate depth" and "Cill angle"

Second option Jambs running past Head

• 1 In the Door or Screen Parameter go to Items and "i5 Head"and in the Useage drop down options Column choose Head goes between Jambs
  

"v3" Frame tennon Length can be applied to the Head if required.

New options to use this facility are:

• 1 Go to "q9" Architrave Jointing in "Options" in both Door/Frame and Screen Parameters.
  
• 2 Choose from the Options column drop down menu one of the three new options.
  
• 3 Under the heading Frame related values in the Door Parameter look for "v135" Architrave Bottom Height
  and enter a dimension you require the Architrave to start above the bottom of the frame.
  
• 4 Repeat the above No3 in the Screen Parameter if required.

This option is available when making a flush door.

• Add painting or Polishing (cost per square metre) to the Glass / Panel Cost parameter
  

• Add the rate numbers for the painting, polishing, from the cost parameter to the Glass / Panel parameter
  

• When viewing a flush door, right click on the door to add: Veneer, Door Blank, Material, below Door Blank, there is now Surface Coatings,
  this allows for selection of an item from the current Glass Parameter.
  

The system will add twice (front & back) the selected coating into the cost of the item. The area used is the whole of the door.
Print a cost breakdown and the selected surface coating will appear under Glass/Sheet material.

Flush/Fire Door Edging (Left, Right, Top, Bottom) can now be independently defined.

Existing functionality using "i59","Edging", "i60","Left door meeting edging" and "i61","Right door meeting edging" has been maintained.

If "i59" usage is set to "None" JMS will attempt to use four new parameters (which can be independently configured):

1. "i207", Left Edging
2. "i208", Right Edging
3. "i209", Top Edging
4. "i210", Bottom Edging

It will still use "i60" and "i61" for the Meeting Edgings

New parameter: "v136". Add on if edgings (lippings) are missing

This value will be added to a door blank only where there is NO Edgings applied.
The door blank size will increase by the Add On value where there is no edgings.

e.g. door height 1980mm top edging 10mm Add on value 15mm door blank size 1985mm
This feature is so the is door dimensioned as a final operation.

The finish door size does NOT include the Add on

The Glass Summary print will show the door blank size including the Add On.
The Add On value will increase the cost area to Veneers, Door Blank and Surface Coatings.

All drawings show the finished door size.
Edgings will increase in length where there is an adjacent Add On value.

Extra Seals are available in the Door and Screen parameter, there are two seals A and B for:-

Door Frame, c21 – c28 Left Jamb A B, Right Jamb A B, Head A B and Cill A B
Screen Frame, c21 – c28 Left Jamb A B, Right Jamb A B, Head A B and Cill A B

For the Opening Door c29 – c40 only (these seals are not available for fixed doors)

"c29 Opening Door Seal Left Edge A" "c30 Opening Door Seal Left Edge B"
"c31 Opening Door Seal Right Edge A "c32 Opening Door Seal Right Edge B"
"c33 Opening Door Seal Top A" "c34 Opening Door Seal Top A"
"c35 Opening Door Seal Bottom A" "c36 Opening Door Seal Bottom B"
"c37 Opening Door Seal Left Door Meeting A" "c38 Opening Door Seal Left Door Meeting B"
"c39 Opening Door Seal Right Door Meeting A" "c40 Opening Door Seal Right Door Meeting B"

These seals will only work when the old seals are set to None:

"c15 Opening Door Waterbar/Cill/Threshold - None" "c16 Seal Opening Door Frame/Door Seal - None"
"c17 Fixed Door Water Bar/Threshold Seal - None" "c18 Fixed Door Frame/Door Seal - None"

Otherwise the old seals operate as usual.

The "c20" Additional Frame head door seal only works when the following are used.
The new frame stops available are:

• "i203","Outer head stop"
  
• "i204","Outer head packer"
  
• "i205","Inner head packer"
  
• "i206","Inner head stop"
  
• "c20","Additional frame head door seal"
  

Please remember If "i203" or "i206" are set to "yes" JMS will try and add all 4 items (if they are set "yes").

As an alternative way of costing glass by squared meterage JMS is now able to cost on price breaks based on squared meterage.
To use this feature:

1. Open a glass / panel cost parameter.
2. You will now see a new column heading called Unit Cost.
3. Now go to the R number rows you want to enable the unit cost to
4. Now enter the unit cost of the glass. Make sure you leave the rate /m2 cell blank.
5. Now go to the glass / panel parameter of your choice
6. In the Q1(or Q11 etc) line enter the rate number of your unit cost item then enter the maximum squared area it applies to.
7. Now in Q2 enter the second price break and maximum squared area that it applies to.

When a Construction line was placed in a Screen Frame and either a Door
or Screen Casement was used the beading would dissapear from either item, This has now been fixed.

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.

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'

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 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 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.

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

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

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.

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'.

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

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.

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.
