Bug Fixes and Additions Since 8.03 ------------------------------------------------- 1)Added UIDs to allowable reports fields. 2)Fixed bug where using the CTRL key when moving Items could cause a strange state where the CTRL key seemed to be stuck down. 3)Fixed a problem where one page reports would not display until they were scrolled in some way. 4)Added "Save as Version 7" option. 5)Fixed a bug where nominal pressure wasn't in the correct units in Zone Summary reports. 6)Make changes so that error 482 only appears once. 7)Set all layers editable and snappable after loading a design. 8)Fixed a problem that occurred when the horiz/vert corrections in the Vcadd.ini aren't 1. 9)Fixed a bug when floating Toolbars were visible. An extra click was required before rubber banding etc. worked. 10)Change default label keywords for control valves, junctions, contours and spot heights. 11)Unit Settings now saved when the dialog is exited. We need to do this in case the Database editor is opened. 12)Fixed a crash that could occur when saving plot templates as designs. 13)Fixed a bug in the old Job Report where the ClientName was being overwritten by the 2nd Job Address line. 14)Fixed a problem that could cause intermittent crashes when displaying reports with more than 80 characters of design notes. 15)Make sure all Layers are marked as printable. 16)Changing the paper size in "File/Reports Print Setup" changes the paper size when reports are viewed and/or printed. 17)All fields on the "Design Details/Miscellaneous" tab are available now in the report editor. 18)The Client "Home Phone" and "Code" are available now in the report editor. Add check in CheckCadEntities to make sure All items are in valid layers. Fix problem in CheckCADEntities when checking for bad layer. For some reason calling GetProperties() causes GetEntity to stop when the layer is bad. Use new Get/SetLayer functions instead. Bug Fixes and Additions Since 8.08 ------------------------------------------------- 1)Fixed a bug where some settings weren't retained in VisualCadd when this was also installed. 2)Fixed a problem that could very occasionally cause a crash when saving designs. 3)Fixed a bug where fittings selection errors for unconnected items weren't being reported. 4)Removed numbers that appeared in the line type combo box. 5) Fixed a bug where hydraulic connections could become confused when copying items that have been labeled. 6) Added a facility so that multiple pipes can have a single Label (e.g. sub-mains). For more information please refer to the release notes under the Irricad "Help" menu. Bug Fixes and Additions Since 8.61 ------------------------------------------------- 1) Fixed a problem in mainline reports where the Zone velocity limit was being used instead of the mainline one. 2) Improved the way outlet symbols are exported to Autocad files so that the display of these symbols is controlled by the correct layer. 3) Changes made so that outlet flow variation can now be displayed. Added a revised Zone Design Summary report that includes the flow variation. 4) Fixed a bug where the row option for slices didn't work correctly with the multiple option. 5) Tidy up warning messages when starting the Subdivision dialog when values are out of range. 6) Implement Irrigation blocks for all Irrigation Area functions arc orientation, water requirements etc. 7) Added ZoneArea field to Zone Design reports. Note this only allows for zones being in one area at the moment and will only be populated when a zone is inside an Irrigation Area or Irrigation Block. 8) Added Control Valve Table report. 9) Made changes so that the location of the minimum and maximum emitter in a Zone can be displayed in Zone reports. The coordinates of these are in ZoneItem->X1,Y1 and ZoneItem->X2,Y2 and are located in the last record outputted for each zone with a ZoneItem->Type of 32768. 10) Added a new Zone Design Summary Report (report template ZONEDESIGNSUM863.FPC) that includes the location of the min/max emitter. 11) Fixed a minor bug introduced in 7) that could cause Zone Design reports to crash when a zone wasn't inside any Irrigation area. Bug Fixes and Additions Since 8.64 ------------------------------------------------- 1) Fixed a bug where "Print Selected" option in "File"/"Print" no longer worked. 2) Fixed a minor problem that could cause Irricad to apparently "hang" (was actually just slow) when updating labels with many items selected. Note that it is not necessary to have any items selected when using the "Update Labels" tool. 3) Added a new Graphical Management tool - Assign System Flows to Zones. See the release notes under the Help menu. 4) Added Auto Valve positioning in the Irrigation Block Tool. See the release notes under the Help menu. 5) Fixed a bug when using "Change Type" to change the submain of Irrigation blocks. The colour of pipes changed but the pipe type wasn't actually changed. 6) Fixed a problem where a 187 error would be generated in Zone Design after an Automatic submain in an Irrigation Block was changed (via change/change type on the block). Computer sized pipe now gets the correct colour (not cyan) in this case also. 7) Fixed a bug where importing a DXF/DWG/VCD file into an empty but saved design caused Irricad to "Hang". Bug Fixes and Additions Since 8.66 ------------------------------------------------- 1) Fixed a bug that caused a "Problem in internal symbol table. Please run File|Repair." warning. Designs could then become corrupted (hydraulic items would appear to be drawing items, repair would break connections etc.). This problem would only occur when a design was opened after opening another design. If Irricad was restarted or File/New selected before opening a design this would not occur. Bug Fixes and Additions Since 8.67 ------------------------------------------------- 1) Fixed a bug where the flows calculated during design could be incorrect for pressure compensated tapes. This problem would only occur in certain circumstances on steep downhill slopes. 2) Added a separate replace check box for Water Supplies when assigning systems flows in Graphical Management. 3) When the graphical management process is initiated it now removes any existing Zone Symbols from the temporary layer. Bug Fixes and Additions Since 8.68 ------------------------------------------------- 1) Fixed a problem in Graphical Management with multiple Water supplies where the assignments for the water supplies WS were mixed up with those for zones. 2) Added a method to "simplify" contours by reducing the number of line segments. This method is used both for importing contours from DXF files and the "Convert to Elevation" tool. Two new parameters to control this feature have been added in "Settings/Irrigation Items". See the release notes for more detail. "Import Contours" will now issue a warning if the number of segments exceeds the number allowed during interpolation. 3) "Import Contours" now allows for multiple entities sections and also for LWPOLYLINE DXF entities. 4) Fixed a bug in the creation of blocks with headlands/sideLands where in some circumstances the wrong value was used. 5) In "Design Parameters" changed the recommended minimum for velocity to 0.1 m/s and recommended minimum/maximum for lateral length to 1.0 and 100.0 m respectively. 6) Fixed a problem when after using the change tool on an Irrigation block the automatic area number was set back to 1. 7) Added checks so that an Auto generated name doesn't exceed 20 characters. This helps avoid duplicate zone names for subdivided blocks. 8) Added handling of the Automatic valve placement when Tape blocks are subdivided. 9) Fixed a problem where layer names that differed only by case caused duplicate layer names in layer manager. 10) Fixed a problem that occurred when an Irricad derived dxf/vcd/dwg file was imported more than once. This caused duplicate layers to be created. 11) Fixed a problem where pressure checks at the conclusion of design didn't use minimum/maximum emitter pressures for tapes. In some cases this meant that an out of range warning wasn't generated during design although these were correctly listed in the reports. 12) Added new Label keywords for Tape Blocks "ACTFLOW","SHIFT","MINEMITPRESS","MAXEMITPRESS","MEANPRESS". See the release notes for details. 13) Label Settings are now design based. This means it is now possible for each design to have a unique set of label settings. 14) All settings for the dialogs of Hydraulic tools are now saved with the Design. See the release notes for more details. 15) The subdivision tool has now been enabled for indented blocks. See the release notes for more detail. 16) The subdivision tool can now handle tape blocks with grouped laterals. See the release notes for more detail. 17) The subdivision tool has been changed to avoid duplicate laterals when slice gaps are zero. 18) The "Zone Design Configuration" option now appears before Zone Design in the Design menu. 19) The "Zone Design Summary" and "Zone CV Table" reports are now ordered by Zone name. In addition the calculation of percentage pressure and flow ranges has been changed to 100*(Max - Min)/Max rather than 100*(Max - Min)/Nominal or 100*(Max-Min)/((Max+Min)/2). 20) Similarly, zones are sorted by name in the "Mainline Summary Report" and "ML Design Pipe Report - Nodes". 21) This version upgrades the version of VisualCadd Dlls to V5.06.137. The significant changes in this version of Vcadd are:- a) Added a fix for a memory conflict bug that is occasionally reported and results in an error message of "Dll Load Error" and failure of Visual CADD to launch. b) Fixed a rare crash after some dialogs were closed. c) Fixed a problem with incorrect scaling on DWG export of Curves and Bezier. d) Fixed bugs on dimension part colors for DWG/DXF export. e) Fixed bugs on default color mapping for DWG/DXF import/export. Bug Fixes and Additions Since 8.70 ------------------------------------------------- 1) Improved combining pipe labels - previously there were some circumstances where pipes weren't combined when they should have been. 2) Added "Check Label Length" and "Label Length Allowance" fields to the Label settings tab. These values were previously only available by editing the registry. They are now saved for each design. 3) Fixed a bug that could cause a crash/hang when creating labels (containing the ValvePress or Shift keywords) for Irrigation Blocks when management or design hadn't been completed. 4) Changed the error value displayed for some Label keywords to "NA" (previously would be a -ve number). 5) Changes so that the nominal flow is displayed for the ACTFLOW keyword if design is incomplete. Bug Fixes and Additions Since 8.71 ------------------------------------------------- 1) Fixed a problem that occurs under Windows Vista where the "Printer" button is hidden in the "Plot Layout Dialog". 2) Stopped unnecessary "Do you want to save" warnings when exiting from a clean design. 3) Fixed a crash when labeling blocks, with no laterals, using the "ValvePress" keyword. 4) Fixed a crash that would occur when Importing an image (with relative path selected) after an auto backup ran. 5) Fixed a problem introduced in 8.13 where items used to make a symbol had their layer changed to 0. 6) Fixed a bug when adding more than one sub-block together in the subdivision tool. 7) Fixed a problem that would cause the block flow in a label to be displayed as "Nominal" for the last zone analysed . 8) Fixed a minor bug where Mainline outlets that weren't running were displayed in some Mainline Design reports. 9) Added panning via the mouse wheel button (by clicking and dragging the mouse wheel). 10) Fixed a problem that could cause LP design to fail when rerunning the design. 11) Increased the maximum number of areas that can be enclosed by another to 1000. This could cause a IDE_MAN_359 warning to be displayed in reports. 12) Fixed a problem that occasionally would cause a crash when creating Blocks from curves. 13) Changes to remove unnecessary points from polygons/Curves before creating Blocks. This fixes a crash in reports that could occur occasionally. 14) Fixed a problem where areas weren't displayed for some blocks in reports. 15) Increased the maximum number of Irrigation Areas to 1001. 16) Fixed a bug where a IDE_DES_400 (difficulty opening design file) warning could be generated when running zone design after labeling blocks. 17) Allow Irrigation areas to be labeled using the Irrigation block label settings. 18) Changes to better allow for multiple enclosed areas. Irricad now uses a new method to determine if areas are overlapping that allows for a very small amount of overlap. This helps overcome IDE_MAN_358 (overlapping areas) warnings when running reports. 19) Fixed a problem where Mainline LP design would fail in some circumstances. 20) Changes made to improve Zone LP design when the number of submain sizes is restricted. Bug Fixes and Additions Since 8.72 ------------------------------------------------- 1) Added Highlight Elevations tool. This tool allows contours to be colour coded by elevation. For more information see the Release Notes under the Help menu. 2) Many changes have been made to the "Zone Design Configuration" dialog to improve it's functionality. For more information see the Release Notes under the Help menu. 3) Fixed a bug which after an Irrigation Block was changed could cause the number of rows, in a block label, to be displayed incorrectly. 4) Fixed bug where applying the label tool to a selection didn't return to the parent tool. 5) Added function to display the DEM grid in 3D. For more information see the Release Notes under the Help menu. 6) Fixed a minor bug where some Sprayline settings were not saved correctly. 7) Fixed minor problem that could an error when the inlet pressure of tapes was negative. 8) Fixed a bug where no LTO would be selected when no Tees were enabled in the database. 9) Incorporated a new version of the report writing/viewing engine. Only minor cosmetic changes including enabling the mouse wheel in the report viewer. 9) Fixed a long standing bug where after cutting using "Cut Lasso" sometimes not all pipes/tapes/spraylines within the lasso were selected for changing or deleting. 10) Made changes to the "Convert to Elevations" tool so that only items on visible layers are considered when attempting to join lines to create contours.
