to be released 28 July 2020
Device Parameters
A new checkbox was added to the “Digital” tab, “Send the blank diameter as CRIB when the CRIB=0”. When checked, if the calculated CRIB is 0 (no cribbing) for a digital order, then send the blanksize in the CRIB field when a job is called in an OMA device session
Work Tickets
Fixed an issue with Essilor digital work tickets, the surface block information was not being printed.
Lens Styles
The “Blend Edges _LTLVL or CCBLND” field in the “Digital” tab is now accessible for all digital lens styles.
Added a new checkbox to ask for the VMAP label when needed for a design.
Orders
The “Surface options” (F12) screen has been modified for digital orders. If the “Blend Edges” switch in the lens style is checked, the fields in the “Optional” tab “Edge Blending” and “Blend Diam / Blend Bowl” are accessible for all digital styles. Previously, these fields were only used for the “Essilor”, “Crossbows” and “A2Vision” digital styles; nothing has changed in the operation of the fields for these digital styles. For all other digital styles, the “Edge Blending” field requires an entry from “0” through “10”. The “Blend Diam / Blend Bowl” field remains the same for all digital styles. If the “Fitting instrument information VMAP” switch in the lens style is checked, the fields in the “Optional” tab “Fitting instrument information” is accessible. These options now set the VC DCS labels CCBOWL and CCBLND as well as the labels previously supported.
When doing a remake from an order that had a trace attached, if you clicked the "Calc" button on the new order before assigning an order number to it, it would blank out the trace name field. This has been corrected.
The manufacturer drop-down boxes have been changes to only show manufacturers that are marked “Active”.
Remote Orders
When receiving a remote order using the VCA labels, if the VMAP field is supplied, it will be stored on the order. If the desired lens style requires the VMAP field and it is not supplied, the order will be marked as unvalid.
Added a new option to the Remote menu, "Tray Assignment". This will allow you to assign tray numbers to orders and to also change tray numbers. If Job Tracking is used, it writes an entry using a new station of "CTY" (Change Tray). Please see Tray Assignment for details.
When using a Job Station to transfer a job, the transfer was not being done. This has been resolved.
Frame Types
Added groove depth and groove width for frame types with a “Groove” edger code.
Device Interfaces
VCA device - When a device calls for GDEPTH or GWIDTH labels, the sequence of databases that the interface checks for a value is as follows: 1- Pattern database, 2- Frame type database, 3- Material database, 4- Device parameter default value.
VCA device - When a device calls for the VMAP field, the entry stored in the order will be sent.
VCA device - When a device request BCERxx for toric jobs and no value is found for these labels, send the values for BCOCxx instead of sending “?”
For Crossbows designs (including Crossbows designs sent through DEO), if a progressive design that allows a variable inset is done as an uncut without frame, the inset amount is now sent to Crossbows in the ERNRIN tag.
Customer Service
When un-completing an order, if the order was placed on a packing slip, the user will be asked if they want to remove the order from that packing slip.
Shipping / Packing Slips
When adding orders to a packing slip, if the order was already associated with a packing slip, the user will be asked if they want to remove the order from the previous packing slip.
Reports
When creating a comma delimited file (CSV) from a report, the program will now give an error message if the file was not created.
