Version 6.38.00

Order Entry

A problem where a file error 23 could occur while importing a remote order, under certain conditions, has been fixed (version 6.37.01).

A new option has been added to Order Entry to permit the user to select a frame shape from a screen of frame shapes, and resize it (if desired): Complete details on this can be found at Pre-defined Shapes.

Digital Surfacing

Support for Hoya Digital has been added. Complete details can be found at Hoya Digital Surfacing (version 6.38.00).

Options for feasibility check have been added to digital types. For complete details, see Feasibility Checks. Feasibility checks can currently be done only for IOT, CrossBows, and Signet Armorlite (version 6.38.00).

Inventory

The Unused Stock report would not always display the correct information when a specific filter was used. This has been corrected (version 6.37.02).

An option to look up lenses by OPC code on the inventory catalogue screen has been added. Scanning the OPC in the appropriate box will bring the user to the correct lens catalogue screen, where the lenses in that product group can be activated, de-activated, modified, etc (version 6.38.00).

The ability to look up lenses in the inventory catalogue by OPC code has been added; when an OPC is entered or scanned in that field, the search key is automatically populated and the browse window moved to that lens (version 6.38.00).

Automatic Lens Update

A problem where new base curve charts and topography files were not being transferred to the customer site, has been corrected (version 6.37.02).

The ability to import and maintain topography files for progressive front surfaces has been added. Complete details on this can be found at Progressive Topography.

Reports

The Late Orders in Progress report was modified to add the Purchase Order Number to the report. The font of the report was also reduced in order to fit everything on one line (version 6.37.03).

Devices

A problem where the Weco Verifier would not initialize has been corrected (version 6.37.04).

If a user ELLH is specified that is smaller than the limits imposed by the ELLH rules, the user ELLH will still be sent to the device (version 6.38.00).

The ability to specify VCA labels and values has been added by customer. A new tab on the customer screen, VCA Info, allows specific labels and values to be set up. This permits labels to be set up for customer-specific engravings, for example (version 6.38.00).

The ability to specify VCA labels and values has been added by device session. A new tab on the device setup screen, VCA Over-rides, allows specific labels and values to be set up. This permits labels to be set up for a specific device session (version 6.38.00).

The ability to specify VCA labels and values has been added by order. A new tab on the “Surface Options” screen, “VCA Overrides”, allows specific labels and values to be specified for a specific order. This allows the lab to over-ride a default for a standard label (for example, set EPRESS to a specific value for the order, instead of using the normal rules based on material, lens style and coatings) for just one order (version 6.38.00).

A version field has been added to device setup. By default, the pre-308 version of the DRILLE label is sent to a device. If a device supports the parts of the DRILLE added in 3.08 (minimum thickness, maximum thickness, and group), setting the field to 3.08 (or higher) will cause these fields to be sent. If the device supports the resize option (added in 3.10), setting the version field to 3.10 (or higher) will cause the resize to be sent, in addition to the minimum and maximum thicknesses, and the group identifier. Of course the values can be sent only if they have been stored on the frame trace (version 6.38).

Labels MESG, and MESG1 through MESG12 have been added. MESG exports all comment lines as multiple MESG records (1 comment line per MESG record); MESG1 exports the first comment line, MESG2 the second comment line, up to MESG11 for the 11th comment line. This permits a VCA export file, for example, to include comment lines for an order (version 6.38.00).

Trace Exports

The ability to export traces to a VCA-format file has been added to the “Frame Tracings”. From within a trace, if the “Export” button is clicked, a new screen allows the user to select the location and filename to export to:

The specific labels to be exported can be modified using the “View/Edit VCA labels” button; this presents a screen as follows:

Labels can be added or removed as desired.

System Databases

The Blank Selection Alias database has been changed to allow an entry to be created with a blank Lens Style and a blank Material (version 6.37.06).
