ChangedRows are now color coded. Rows are red if Remain<=0 or Released=0. So, rows are black only if the part is released for production and quantity is > produced.ORGANIZER
ChangedWhen registering parts there is a new checkbox that if checked will set released=0 if produced>=quantity. This means the released for production flag will be set to off when the part is fully produced.ORGANIZER
ChangedYou can now double-click on the Released column in the table to enable/disable the released flag. If the released flag is 0 and you double click the released flag will be set to 1 and produced to 0. This means that for recurring parts you can just double-click on the released cell to put the part back in production.ORGANIZER
ChangedThe sheet database rows are now color coded. The rows are red if quantity=0.CAM

ChangedThe DXF reader can now handle drawings with 3D-triangles.DATAEXCHANGE
ChangedNew Sheet database changes. When a sheet is inserted to a drawing it is NOT removed from the database. Instead it is flagged with Inserted=1, this means it has been inserted to a drawing. When this same sheet is registered again the sheet is updated in the database and Inserted is set to 0. So, Inserted=1 means the sheet is imported to a drawing and Inserted=0 means it is available for use. This means that if you forget to register or the computer crashes the sheet is still available in the database. This works even if you make changes to the sheet, like locking, dividing etc...CAM
