Support for colours has been added for text - the following colours are now supported (as demonstrated in a ticket produced with this update):
The top right box is “Cream”, which is faint but perhaps desired on coloured work ticket paper.
Background colours are also supported, and have been modified to recognize the “Show box only if value exists” checkbox - this allows multiple background-only boxes to be placed in the same location on the work ticket, and displayed based on different user-definable VCA tags. An example could be different coloured boxes indicating different AR coatings. The following background colours are supported:
Support for extended character sets has been added; this allows characters outside the default Windows-1251 character set (such as the € character, or oriental characters) to be displayed on the work ticket.
These changes necessitated a change in the behaviour of the “default” values in the LOHreport program. When setting up a ReportBox item, on the following screen:
anything entered in the “Value” box will now be printed if the label is not applicable for a given job. Therefore, this value should normally be left blank. This is a change in behaviour from versions of Rx-Universe prior to version 7.39. Note that this COULD be useful when wanting to set a field to a value to be printed in the absence of a field - for example, a default might be set to “No Coating” if such a message were desired in the absence of a coating value.
To aid with conversion of existing templates, a program lohticket-value-eliminator.exe is provided. This will remove all default DCS tag values from a template. To use it, run it from the root Rx-Universe folder in command prompt; the only argument is the name of the template file (including path if necessary). For example, to remove default values from a template named DEFAULT.XML in the RX-XML folder, type (at the command prompt):
lohticket-value-eliminator.exe RX-XML\DEFAULT.XMLUser-defined work tickets now support the use of extended characters (such as the Euro character, certain accented characters for some language, as well as oriental character sets), in both the template itself, as well as text from Rx-Universe fields.
Frame Trace Import
To facilitate import of frame traces from VisionStar to Rx-Universe, the VEN label is now considered equivalent to FMFR, and LIB is now considered synonymous with FRAM.
