Software Update 1.7.0
New Features:
- Added an Edging Calculator to the job's Tools menu. Enter the tape thickness and the roll's outer and inner diameters to estimate how much edge tape is left on the roll.
- Added override tables for drawer, drawer back and drawer bottom data.
Improvements:
- Cabinet processing can now look up data from your Hardware, Counter Tops, Cook Tops, Sinks, Hinge Series, Process Names and Tool Lookup records.
- When printing the Hardware and Assembly reports, a cabinet's rows are no longer split across pages, so each cabinet's details stay together.
- Column headers now repeat at the top of each continued page when printing the Hardware and Assembly reports, making longer reports easier to read.
- Section and room titles in the Hardware and Assembly reports are no longer separated from their content by a page break.
- Added a compact headers option to the Hardware and Assembly reports, which saves space when printing.
- The print options in the report header now show a description of what they do when you hover over them.
- Jobs that only contain benchtops now open on the first benchtop, instead of an empty product list.
- The Products row is now hidden from the job navigation when a job has no products.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where grained parts were not grouped correctly for products with a quantity greater than 1. These parts are now grouped correctly.
- Fixed an issue where some appliance product information was not formatted correctly, which could cause jobs to stall. These jobs now process as expected.
- Fixed an issue where some product dimensions were not formatted correctly when saving product information. Product dimensions now save correctly.
Software Update 1.6.0
New Features:
- Each cabinet now has a QR code that opens its 3D view. You can open it from a cabinet in the product list, or scan it from the printed Assembly report or the Hardware report's Per cabinet view to bring up the cabinet in 3D in the workshop.
- Added yield optimised nesting, which arranges parts to make better use of each sheet.
- Added a nest algorithm search for each job, which tries different nesting approaches to find the best result for that job.
Improvements:
- Variation forms now check your entries before they are sent and catch values that cannot be manufactured. This covers cabinet sizes outside the sheet limits, hinge and shelf positions, shelf hole sizes, corners and LED strip positions.
- When one variation form has an error, valid variations on the other forms are still applied, and the notice tells you how many were not applied.
- A warning now appears if a size change would conflict with a hinge, shelf or corner variation that has already been applied.
- The Hardware and Assembly reports now have clearer spacing between cabinets and less prominent supplier rows, making them easier to read.
- CSV files larger than 2MB can now be imported in Data Management.
- Files that are not CSV files are now rejected straight away when importing in Data Management.
- CSV import errors in Data Management now explain what went wrong, so you can correct the file and try again.
- Added a Hinge Cup Face field to the Hinges table in Data Management.
- Added AdjLegX50, AdjLegX150 and AdjLegX250 to the Accessories table in Data Management.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where reports could be affected when some information had not been entered. Reports now handle empty fields correctly.
Software Update 1.5.0
New Features:
- Added Benchtops to the job view. When a job includes benchtops, each one is listed in the navigation and shows a drawing of its shape (rectangle, L or U) with its lengths, edging, colour and thickness.
- Added a Hinge Series table to Data Management, so you can view and manage hinge series alongside your other data.
Improvements:
- Materials marked as non-supply are now handled correctly when a job is processed, instead of being reported as missing machining.
- The Hardware report now has a Per cabinet view that groups hardware by room and cabinet, making it easier to see exactly what hardware each cabinet needs.
- The Assembly report now lists the hardware for each cabinet, so the assembly team has everything they need on one report.
- You can now use checkboxes to choose which rooms and cabinets to print, so you only print what you need.
- Room product lists now open fully expanded by default, so you can see every product in a room straight away.
Bug Fixes:
- Resolved benchtop processing failures, including benchtop materials that were not being recognised. Benchtops now process as expected.
- Corrected how door styles and handles using Cabinetry.Online materials are matched, so they are now recognised when a job is processed.
- Fixed an issue where default oven information could not be found when a job was processed. Oven details now process correctly.
- Corrected the default kick height not being applied when a job was processed.
- Fixed an issue where your drawer slide overrides were not applied after the manufacturer updated its drawer slide information.
- Resolved the Single Part Finger Box global setting being missing. The setting is now available.
- Corrected the Rangehood wizard saving a Slide Out rangehood's overall depth as the fascia depth only. The overall depth is now saved correctly.
- Fixed an issue where parts in the Nest view could not be opened if you had left the Nest view while hovering over a part. Parts now open as expected.
Software Update 1.4.0
New Features:
- You can now change the sheet sizes used for a job, set default sheet sizes, and use more than one sheet size in a single job.
- Added a Sheet Sizes dialog, opened from a job's Nest and Parts views, where you can choose the stock sheet sizes each material is nested on and then re-nest the job with your changes.
Improvements:
- Nest gaps are now accurate to one tenth of a millimetre and always round up to the nearest tenth, so the spacing between parts in a nest is more precise.
- Outsourced parts that have operations applied now pass through job processing and appear in the Outsourced Parts section, so you can see all of your outsourced parts in one place.
- Materials are now linked to sheet stock, and multiple materials can share the same sheet stock, so you no longer need to set up separate sheet stock for each material.
- The last poll time for job distributors now only reflects distributors that collect job files. Distributors that are only set up for labels are no longer included, so the time shown gives a more accurate picture of when job files were last checked.
- Job distributor errors are now listed with the most recent error first, making it quicker to see what has gone wrong lately.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where oven information could fail to load because of a problem with the default oven data. Oven information is now found correctly.
- Fixed an issue where benchtops could fail to process. Benchtops now process as expected.
- Fixed an issue where door style and handle materials from Cabinetry.Online were not always recognised. These materials are now matched correctly.
- Fixed an issue where the Single Part Finger Box global setting was missing. The setting is now available.
- Fixed an issue where changes you made to drawer slide information were not used when looking up drawer details. Your updated drawer slide information is now applied.
Software Update 1.3.0
New Features:
- Added a new option to optimise the cabinet nest order for assembly. When it is turned on, the smallest cabinets are placed at the front of the job and each cabinet's parts are kept together as much as possible, so the assembly team receives complete cabinets in a logical order.
- When optimising for assembly, cabinets that are not marked for assembly and adjustable shelves are now moved towards the end of the nest, so they do not hold up the cabinets being assembled.
- Every Data Management table now has an Import CSV button, so you can add records in bulk from a spreadsheet instead of entering them one at a time.
Improvements:
- Data Management tables, forms and navigation have been reworked to make it easier to find, view and edit records, move between pages of results, and change table settings.
- Job navigation has been simplified, making it easier to move between the different areas of a job.
- When printing all labels, a sheet label is now printed between each sheet's group of labels. This splits the printout into sheet groups, so labels are easier to sort and match to the correct sheet (requires label printing to be enabled).
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where saving a Data Management form could be unsuccessful, causing the information you had entered to be lost. Your entries now save correctly.
- Fixed an issue where importing a CSV file could not be completed because of an internal setup error. CSV imports now work as expected.
Software Update 1.2.1
Improvements:
- The Job Distributor now checks that the printers requested for a print job are active before sending it, so jobs are not sent to printers that are offline or unavailable.
- Added a secondary request interval to the Job Distributor for polling queued labels. This runs alongside the existing job polling interval, allowing queued labels to be picked up and printed more promptly.
- Error messages shown to users are now clearer and more helpful, explaining what went wrong in plain language so issues can be understood and resolved more easily.
Fixes:
- Resolved an issue where newer shelf options, such as '3 Continuous', did not produce the correct number of shelves.
Software Update 1.2.0
Features:
- Added a Subcontracted Parts tab to the Left-hand menu, listing the parts that are not nested. Manufacturers can now see and check subcontracted parts alongside the rest of the job.
Improvements:
- Improved error messaging when several errors are returned at once. Now only the first is shown on screen to keep the message clear, and the full set of errors is included in the copied details for troubleshooting.
- Label files are no longer produced for parts that are not on the nest, only for parts that are actually cutting. Non-nested parts can have labels printed separately, as required.
Fixes:
- Corrected a Print button appearing in the Part view while printing is not yet available.
- Fixed the Nest list not opening the Nest view when a part was clicked.
- Addressed an issue where unsuccessful Oven and Microwave saves went unnoticed.
Software Update 1.1.0
Features: SCM nesting machine XCS output
- Manufacturers using SCM nesting machines can now generate an XCS output file directly from Cabinetry.Online, ready to send to the machine without manual conversion.
- Manufacturers can now select which of their available label printers to send part labels to, making it easier to direct labels to the right printer on the factory floor.
- Manufacturers can now view, search, add, edit and delete Profiles/Cutters, Profile Tool Settings and Pocket Tools records from Data Management, working the same way as the other catalogue tables.
- Hardware is now available in Data Management, allowing Manufacturers to adjust individual hardware records to suit their workshop without affecting the master catalogue, using the same overrides approach as other catalogue tables.
Improvements:
- Added CSV import to the Globals, Screws/Cams, Edging, Parts and DDP Styles tables in Data Management, so Manufacturers can update records in bulk rather than editing them one at a time.
- When a cabinet cannot be processed, a clear error message is now shown so the issue can be identified and resolved, rather than the job continuing without any indication of a problem.
- Improved error messages across Cabinetry.Online so Manufacturers now see a clearer summary of what went wrong, which can be copied, along with a link to raise a support ticket.
- Updated the Rangehood category images in the Add Rangehood wizard so each option is easier to recognise.
Fixes:
- Corrected PNG part labels so they now display with a white background.
- Resolved inconsistent toggle styling on the Add Oven form so all fields now match.
Software Update 1.0.2
Improvements:
- Thicker sheets can now be cut using multiple rough passes rather than a single pass, which improves cut quality and reduces load on the tool when machining heavier material.
- Machining files are now checked for bores that cannot be matched to an available tool diameter. Rather than those bores being dropped silently, a clear error is raised so the problem is picked up before the part reaches the machine.
- Groundwork for label printing has been laid in ahead of the feature being released, including label printer records in the database, endpoints for printing labels for specific parts, and support for listing non-nested parts such as metal drawer sides. The Print Labels button is in place but remains hidden, so there is no change to the interface in this release.
- Bores and other machining operations can now be placed so that they extend slightly past the edge of a part, allowing hardware that requires it to be manufactured correctly. Bi-fold door hinges are the common case, as some of them need bores that sit partly outside the edge of the door.
Fixes:
- Applied a round of fixes to rangehoods and appliances:
- Corrected a missing search link in cases where only the model was unmatched, so a replacement can be located directly from the record.
- Addressed cached data remaining in place after a rangehood was changed, so updated details now appear straight away.
- Fixed the approve step not respecting the verified state of the rangehood.
Software Update 1.0.1
Improvements:
- Improved shape cutout handling so a cutout can begin with a line segment that overlaps the original part outline, allowing a wider range of part shapes to process without adjustment.
- Materials supplied by length, such as some metal drawer sides, are now filtered out of the nest while continuing to process correctly through the rest of the job, so they no longer take up sheet space.
- Jobs containing horizontal or underside machining are now stopped during processing, as no currently supported machine is able to perform those operations. This prevents a job reaching the machine with operations that cannot be produced.
Fixes:
- Applied a round of fixes to Data Management:
- Corrected the ovens list not refreshing after a new oven was added.
- Corrected Heat Deflector so that it records a true or false value.
- Resolved boolean fields not displaying as true or false in Data Management tables.
