WinBidPro v16 Change Log

New Features:

• Glass labels: Added glass labels (modeled on the cut list labels), with a label menu, selectable presets that show in the menu, and your choices saved when you exit.

• Shop drawing rendering mode: A new renderer setting lets you pick the rendering mode that produces the best result for different shop drawing outcomes.

Improvements:

• Added crash diagnostics and tracing for Eyeshot drawing/rendering failures, so these crashes are captured with more context and the app handles them more gracefully.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed lites not drawing on frameless interior systems with zero-profile heads and sills — a regression introduced when we switched to a lower-cost lite creation function.

• Refined the caulk region logic following the 2026 Eyeshot update, where under specific circumstances the caulk hatch could bleed into the elevation.

• Improved cover page reliability with additional error handling.

• Fixed the assembly detail control.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed the cover page not loading after selecting a template, and added extra error handling for more cover page error visibility.

• Fixed malformed drawing entities that could cause display glitches or crashes when adjusting a panel would cause a 0 width panel to be created.

Bug Fixes:

• Increased the update timeout so the app no longer cuts users off before the download finishes."

New Features:

• New "Intermediate Horizontal Row" count column added to the Elevation Overview.

• Added search to the Elevation Overview.

• Report header template buttons in the Reports view now respect user roles and permissions.

Improvements:

• Redesigned the error dialog with a clearer header and footer and more detailed, structured error information (including nested and API errors) to make reporting issues easier.

• Open document panes now refresh correctly when you close one job and open another.

• More consistent top/bottom bar colors and fonts across the Edit Door, Frame, and Leaf views, plus joints font cleanup.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a number of crashes caught by error tracking: rake elevations, adding a duplicate entrance via double-submit, deleting a placeholder row in the Assembly Quick View, glass lite generation on door leaves, a missing frame in the joints tab, an invalid lite cast, and shop drawing printer paper size / active elevation issues.

• Fixed child windows restoring off-screen on multi-monitor and mixed-DPI setups.

• Door frame transom stop selections are no longer cleared when editing other assemblies.

• Fixed editor panes not hiding or showing correctly (Telerik docking auto-hide issue).

• Job lock operations now handle upserts and report lock failures correctly.

Improvements:

• Large elevations should see a significant speed improvement, especially those with no rakes, arches, or merges. Our metrics showed elevations redrawing 3-10x faster.

• You can right click on a glass product in the glass tool tab to open the full edit view.

• Added a copy to global list button for glass products.

• Importing elevations from ShapeExchange will offer to overwrite existing elevations rather than just canceling the operation.

• We added some additional labor counting options

Bug Fixes:

• The applied labor ruleset did not appear in the Elevation Totals view. Instead the field was always blank.

• If a part number appeared more than once in final parts with different finishes, user edits did not always apply to the correct row.

• We attempted to correct an occasional issue regarding door frames and door lists refreshing properly.

• The part number and finish in the printed cut list did not always appear when cuts were filtered.

Improvments:

• Added ability to reorder alternate mullions (Assembly List Index Reordering)

• Added elevation preview in the job list

• Added quick action to send a job to Tech Support while open

• Automatically save job after Shape Exchange import

Bug Fixes:

• Prevented negative splice values and corrected stale position data when switching elevations in the splice tool

• Fixed issue where rakes incorrectly merged through top horizontals to ground

• Resolved arch merge inconsistencies

• Fixed patch token not being preserved on failure, preventing cascading save errors

• Fixed issue with returning to team menu by properly clearing caches

• Prevented double-loading of jobs to import.

• Improved handling of missing glass product errors with clearer alerts

Improvments:

• Support for horizontal positions and panel widths from ShapeExchange projects

Bug Fixes:

Bug Fixes:

• The sub-sill now extends beneath raked heads that interrupt the sill.

• The panel conflict window, when adding an entrance to fixed panels, wasn't updating the door leaf width when it should.

• Parallelogram lites that have equal sides but are not square were not labeled as Irregular lites.

Improvements:

• You can now disable automatic splicing per elevation on jobs where it is enabled for granular elevation-level control.

• Highlight negative prices in red in the parts lists.

• Improve catalog grid search: multi-word and flexible matching by normalizing special characters.

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
