New Stuff - 10/2007 to 2/2008

 Remote Library Capability:  Pipe, End, Frame, and Grate Libraries may be set up for remote access instead of local access. This provides single access point for company users that reduces the potential for duplicate data and missing data.

 New Pipe Fittings Screen:  This is a new screen for capturing pipe fittings in a pipe run (downstream pipe between two structures.) for reporting in the Order Summary, BOM, and Pipe Detail Reports. Pipe fittings may include increasers, reducers, tees, wyes, caps, plugs, and any desired pipe fitting not mentioned in this list.

 New Miscellaneous Items Screen: This is a new screen for capturing miscellaneous items included in a structure for reporting in the Order Summary and BOM Excel reports. Miscellaneous items could include vent pipes, lifting loops, structure ladders, and any miscellaneous item not mentioned in this list.

 New Migration Screen: This is a new screen, which replaced the Archive Screen. This new screen includes the capability for exporting and importing a job. The new import functionality greatly reduces migration time.

 Support for Link Seal Connectors:  The Pipe Library now supports Link Seal Connectors, which include Link Seal sleeve connectors.

 New Pricing Screen Filters:  The Pricing Screen includes new controls for quickly filtering pricing entries.

 User Controlled Slope Tops:  The user controls the slope of a slope top piece using the slope top’s associated frame library.

 Support for Contech Storm Filters: Precast bases can include Contech Storm Filters, which generate graphically in the elevation and plan views.

 Improved Graphics: Added a new graphic option to generate chained wall and structure size dimensions in addition to the overall size dimension that previously generated only for extended bases. Block up risers now show for attached slabs.

 Calculated Cone Weights: Cone weights are automatically calculated unless otherwise specified (a know cone weight may be specified).

 Improved Structure Design Screen: The Structure Design Screen now includes new middle zones for designing a structure with more than one reduction.

 New Goodness Criteria: Auto Stacking now has new goodness criteria selections to allow over-height structures to minimize the total height.

Drainage Inlets are much more capable

• Arbitrarily complex openings can be drawn from AutoCAD blocks.
  See KOEG ViewShop.pdf
   
• Trapezoidal and V notch openings with guard rods are fully supported and drawn.
  See Trap Butterfly.pdf
• Base slab thickness and flange extension radius can be specified to any size, or selected from stock sizes. Illustrated in a round structure in Flanged_Submittal.pdf
• New Butterfly (fold out) views are available. These views can make complex hole and piece locations easy to understand and build.
  See 6x6ButterflyShop.pdf
   
• Openings in lid slabs can be placed anywhere on the slab and be of any size. See 6x6ShopPlan.pdf, 6x6Submittal.pdf)
• Steps in box structures can be placed anywhere on any wall. See 6x6ShopPlan.pdf, 6x6Submittal.pdf
• Report drawings can have 0 (plan view only), 1, or 2 (front and side) elevation views. (See ShopElevation2.pdf)
• Standard openings for sub drains are automatically added to standard catch basins.
• Structure and opening sizes are dimensioned on shop and submittal drawings

Round structures are much more capable

• New Rollout view is available. See 60inRolloutShop
• Boots bands are now validated to measure the fit of large openings in small structures.
   
• Drop openings now include a complete model for handling a variety of drop styles (e.g. Integral, Integral open tee, Integral inside, horseshoe encased).
• Openings in lid slabs can be placed anywhere on the slab and be of any size.
  
   

MH Pro! is more capable for BOMs

• Most parts can be marked By Others to distinguish between the structure as designed and the structure as shipped.
• Weights of holes are deducted for cored and formed holes (chipped dry-cast holes are not deducted).
• BOMs distinguish between shippable assemblies and the priced elements that make up the assembly.
• Boot clamps can be included in the incidental BOMs.

MH Pro! does more

• Structures can be copied and pasted with all stacking, notes, and input data.
• Structures can specify a quantity multiplier when a standard structure is used throughout a job.
• Anchor holes are a new top treatment available when required to attach a frame to the precast top.
• Reports can now select different display units for different reports. Produce metric reports from an inch database, or inch reports from a metric database.
• Input fields are highlighted to assist in data input
