WinBidPro v16 Change Log

New Features:

• You can now color glass by Glass Type. Turn this on in the layer settings and edit the glass types to set the colors.

• Stock List View now shows more detail. Added the Waste field for cleanups and saw waste allowance. Also, the Pieces column now shows drop and tail cleanup. Stock yields no longer include saw waste and cleanup.

• When you close the finishes view for the catalog, it will check the current open job and ask if you want to update it if the cleanup cuts are different on the job.

• We continue to add some experimental options to the TigerStop export to attempt to automatically handle variable cleanup cuts in a job.

Bug Fixes:

• Some rare issues could cause processing of an elevation to time out, but no warning or job error would occur. This could lead a user to run incomplete reports without any message about the missing data. We now prevent reports being run when this type of bug occurs and give a proper message about the failing elevation.

Bug Fixes:

• Attempts to resolve a program freeze that can occur when refreshing the parts list.

• Attempts to resolve a text wrapping problem in the cut list. Note the inch marker " has been removed for now because it seemed to be affecting the line wrapping in negative ways.

• Auto-splice commands are now removed when a new command or alteration to the frame make it not needed.

• Reports explorer was not loading/saving properly in some cases

New Features:

• Layout of the editor window will now persist across sessions

• New View menu with a Reports view available

• Reports view now gives quick access to reports and users can pin reports they use often

• Glass reports now print with drawings of the makeup when Glass Products are defined with detailed makeups

Bug Fixes:

• Various tooltips were incorrect in the Edit Door Leaf view.

Bug Fixes:

• Handles for doors without a lock stile were drawing on the hinge side of the door

Summary:

  This update adds a configuration feature for end dams/caps for receptors. Aside from that we also focused on bug fixes and updating some core code libraries to the program

New Feature:

- You can now configure end dams for receptors

Bug Fixes:

- The CAD engine was updated to resolve some crashing issues when switching between jobs.

- The caulk displayed incorrectly in some rake scenarios

- Copying to vendor was not working if some elevations had an overriden finish color

- An error could occur when we were loading a tool tip but the window was closed before it appeared.

- Final parts view would freeze when changing the quantity of an adjustment if there was more than 1 adjustment for the same part. The freeze was a loop incrementally adding to the adjustment and saving so it would be a high value after reopening the job.

- Couldn't add a final part adjustment for a part already in the job when the job finishes were out of sync catalog (common for received or imported jobs).

- Fixed some issues remembering window sizes

- Fixed various rake situations that caused glass to disappear

- We resolved various crashes that could occur when sending jobs to printers.

New Features:

• You can now apply different finishes to different elevations. Reports will now show finish in more places and multiple finishes may be listed in the report header for job finish.

Improvments:

• Highlighting in various tool tabs will adjust for easier selection when zoom out

Bug Fixes

• Modifying glass sizes manually was not instantly updating the drawing of the elevation with the modified size if it was already open.

• Job area in the Final Summary report was using the rounded elevation areas rather than precise elevation areas leading to compounded rounding error. Elevations overview will now show the area and perimeter with more precision.

• We believe we have solved an error that would seemingly randomly come up when switching jobs and that used to crash the program.

• An elevation with both a bottom and top rake would cause glass to not draw or be included in reports.

Improvements

• We are beginning to roll out a new Vendor Update notification feature to make users aware of minor and major updates. You initially will see a notification for updates since Jan 1, 2025. Future catalog updates will have notes summarizing the changes. We did not retroactively add notes to past updates except an important one for YKK.

Bug Fixes

• Adding/Removing the only glass product in the job could cause the glass tool tab to deactivate requiring you to leave the tool and come back to apply glass.

• We added local logging to a file for diagnosing a program crash that sometimes occurs on about 4% of machines when opening a job.

Bug Fixes

• Changing the elevation height after adding a rake could cause a drawing failure. The system now generates a job alert for the rake command instead.

• Cover page line entities were incorrectly displaying in white instead of black after a previous shop drawing fix.

• Adding an alternate with zero profile members to a drawing no longer causes an error.

• Added safeguards to prevent unexpected “title block file in use” errors in shop drawings.

• Fixed SSG logic causing the face cover and pressure plate on a symmetrical double rake with SSG verticals to extend into the peak.

• Removed overlapping text behavior in rake drawings.

New Features:

• Join Configurations - A new tab in the framing system view now allows you to specify joint parts with far more flexibility and variability. A new tool tab also exists to review joint conditions figured by the program.

• Job Explorer Data Tables - The job explorer now shows Glass Products and Framing Systems that are saved to the job. Right click on these items to modify them or highlight elevations referencing them.

• Integration with Shape Exchange that allows the bulk import of elevations

Bug Fixes:

 • Fixed a crash that sometimes occured when the cover page was opened

 • Attempting to save new glass products with simple makeup was giving a validation error

 • Merge command was failing when the merge crossed a vertical with a rake peak at the top of it.

New Features:

 • Cover Page

Bug Fixes:

 • Brief internet connection loss after using the program for an hour would not reconnect and required restarting the program

 • 

Bug Fixes:

 • Dimensions for horizontals at the same height as a door headers sometimes did not show

 • Switching printers in Shop Drawings will now select the default paper size

 • There was sometimes an issue with merges with a door transom when horizontals were continuous and different profiles
