When a digital job has an error (or is otherwise not manufacturable), this is indicated on the customer service screen with a "#" characters, as follows:
In version 6.45, Rx-Universe was changed to automatically set LDTYPE based on the file extension of the surface point file. This caused problems for older equipment, and for the old non-VCA Epson-Seiko digital calculator, so this is now an optional setting. A new checkbox has been added to the Device tab of the Digital Type screen:
Default LDTYPE if not explicitly set - if the LDTYPE is not otherwise explicitly set (by the previous checkbox, or by a VCA over-ride), checking this box will cause Rx-Universe to automatically set LDTYPE based on, first, the file extension of the surface point file. If the surface point file has an extension of .SDF, then LDTYPE=SDF. If the file extension is HMF, then LDTYPE=STF; otherwise, the LDTYPE value will be the same as the file extension. If this box is NOT checked, and LDTYPE is not otherwise explicitly set, then LDTYPE=?, and the device will attempt to determine the format of the file (version 6.48.00).
Some digital vendors allow NPD to be specified for progressive digital designs. A new checkbox has been added to the lens style setup, Digital tab, to allow a design to prompt for NPD in Order Entry; this NPD will be sent to the digital calculator. Labs should ensure that the design in question supports variable NPD before enabling the option (version 6.48.00).
Order Entry
When the tray number is changed on the Order Entry screen, calcs are required so that the OMGEN record gets updated (version 6.47.02).

When sending orders electronically to Rx-Universe, the sending party can specify the OPC of the blanks that are to be used. If these blanks cannot be found, or cannot be used (because of thickness, curveout, etc), or if the blanks different in design from the design that was requested (requesting a SV design and specifying OPCs for Flat Top blanks, for example), the order will be saved unvalid for manual intervention. When the OPCs are specified in the remote file, blank selection will NOT be attempted by Rx-Universe (version 6.48.00).
Rx-Universe now support user-specified center thickness for all jobs. For complete details, please see Thickness Controls (version 6.48.00).
