WinBidPro v16 Change Log

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

Bug Fixes:

 • Could not change paper settings for shop drawings

Improvements:

 • You can now modify the label of custom cuts to indicate their location

 • Operable window templates now allow you specify glass bites for more accurate sizing

Bug Fixes:

 • Switching a printer in shop drawings did not properly update the paper sizes available and selected size leading to unexpected output sizes.

 • The quick filter for door frames was automatically filtering to a profile matching the framing system when looking for subframes causing the list to be empty since subframes are generally smaller in profile.

 • The elevation import feature (beta) was not correctly copying glass products and entrances into the job.

Bug Fixes:

 • Remove function that removed horizontals when a horizontal assembly was not found. An issue when changing framing systems for an elevation.

 • A duplicate entrance and horizontal dimension case resolved.

 • If only Has Face Covers was checked the input box for end gaps was not visible.
