Woodturner PRO Release Notes

Version 1.0.3.0
* Top most and Bottom most row's now display Wall Width's in the popup. The largest possible wall width is displayed.
* Cutting summary: Lower Outside and Upper Outside diameter column changed to "Diameter" and od, id, uod, lod added to the legend. This column was causing a lot of confusion because it was being used differently depending on the segment type.
* The grid lines now display using two shades of green and are allowed on the segment & ring view now as well as the cutaway.

Version 1.0.2.9
* Added ZOOM control for Cutaway, Ring, and Segment views.
* Added Keyboard help item in the help menu.
* Now makes an intelligent guess during install to default unit of measurement (metric/inches) by interrogating the timezone that the system is in.
* An error during the transfer from 3DP to WTP when units were set to Metric has been fixed.
* Increased authcode grace period.
* Updated the help file.

Version 1.0.2.8
* Printing: The ring and segment view now prints things that span the page width (not just height) on to extra page(s)!
* Added Ctrl-UP and Ctrl-Down arrows to adjust the height of a segment. If the shift key is pressed in conjunction with these keys, it will increase the amount of adjustment made.
* Added FILE/Unlock Software menu item (menu item is hidden once software is unlocked).
* Removed auto-launch to WTP website and changed "Purchase" button to "Authorization Code"

Version 1.0.2.7
* Integated with 3D Design PRO (new menu items, toolbar buttons, and IPC).
* Added vertical spacer representation to the ring view.

Version 1.0.2.6
* Project can now be compressed by checking the "Compress File" checkbox under the "Project/Project Properties" menu item.
* Compressed the "Kevins round bowl" sample project.
* Added ability to show/hide hover boxes via a new toolbar item and the "View/Show hover boxes" menu item.

Version 1.0.2.5
* Some people reported seeing "elvish" used in the cutting summary. We performed a usability study and found that a significant portion of our customer base is not literate in the elvish language. After studying the data carefully, we picked an option going forward most beneficial to our customers: We now specifically ask windows to use the "Arial" font when displaying the cutting summary instead of letting the operating system pick a font by itself.

Version 1.0.2.3
* The trial period is shortened from 90 days to 30 days. All features, including print and save, are now unlocked during the trial period.
* Ring View: Fixed a problem where the segment numbers would not be centered inside of the segment when just a few segments made up the entire ring.
* The "File/Options..." menu now allows custom wood species to be created. Both the name and color of the custom species can be defined and are stored for later use. The custom species are also included in WTP project files when they are used; thus, project files that use custom wood types can be distributed to other systems.
* New species added: Cherry, Hickory, Cypress, Hackberry, Poplar, Sassafras, Sycamore, Willow, Cottonwood, Gum
.

Version 1.0.2.2
* Solves a problem introduced in version 1.0.1.0 that would cause the application to crash when printing the cutting summary on windows 98 machines.

Version 1.0.2.0
* New Segment type: Open Segment. This new segment should be used for creating Flat Open Segments. The Ring view introduced in version 1.0.1.0 is ideal for lining up the open segments in the ring.

Version 1.0.1.0
* Metric measurements now use millimeters instead of centimeters.

* Cutting summary now has headers and smarter page breaks when printing to a printer.
* Swapped the order of the Upper Outside Diameter and Lower Outside Diameter in the dimensions dialog bar.
