 Version 1.92 adds the ability to load custom pipe sizes to appear in parameter dropdown lists.
The Node Joint and Mitered Node Joint have added Name parameter that appears in 3D view to identify which branch is which.
There are also several bug fixes.

Known bugs in v1.92 include: Issue with Union Joint's Simplify function.  Reducing Turn Joint alignment marks. Node Joint issues on complex situations.

Version 1.84 contains a few small bug fixes and a new joint.

  • Margins code changed to support some larger printers. (If you have seen wasted paper on large printers, that should  be fixed now.)
  • Added Reinforcing Pad joint.

(everyone should be using 1.92a)

Version 1.82 is a minor upgrade from 1.81.  It contains many small bug fixes and a few user interface improvements.

  • Setting margins now work as expected.
  • tested on Windows 8
  • Improved measurement interface by adding 'Shift' button to eliminate need to reach for the keyboard to navigate and measure previews.
  • Now it is better able to handle very large pipe sizes.

(everyone should be using 1.92a)

 Version 1.81 contains the following new features:

  • Hash marks in 2D template shows which side of line to cut on.
  • New annotated 3D render shows cutlines and alignment marks.
  • Better handling of near parallel components.
  • Bug fixes include: printing specific pages when units is set to mm, page margins now work.
  • Accelerator keys now supported (example ctrl-s to save joint)
  • Better algorithm to determine which cutlines to show in node joints.
  • Improved lighting and 3D rendering precision.
  • In 1.81b, template preview measurement available with Shift mouse click.
  • Windows XP Pro, no longer displays warning messages when running in user mode.

(everyone should be using 1.92a)
Version 1.72 contains the following new features:

  • New Joint: node and mitered node: for structural truss construction
  • New Joint: elbow inside branch: to complete the collection of elbow joints
  • Several other small bugs, performance enhancements and rendering quality.

(everyone should be using 1.92a)
Version 1.70 contains the following new features:

  • New Print Report feature generates reports which show the entire template on one printed page along with a printed table of measurements to allow hand layout of cutlines without needing to print a template.
  • New Print Dialog box allows graphical selection of pages to print.
  • 'Save as Default' on the Settings dialog box now correctly saves all settings.
  • Several other small bugs and performance enhancements.

There is a known bug with v1.70 regarding printing on larger than 8.5x11 paper. If you are currently using v1.70 please upgrade to the newest version above.

There is a known bug in v1.70a DXF file export that can sometimes cause AutoCAD® to error on import.  If you are currently using v1.70 please upgrade to the newest version above.

Version 1.63 contains the following new features: 

  • Union Joint - corrected inconsistancy in alignment of cone and non-cone components. Now, cone components are alligned to the OD end instead of at Org. This way multiple cones with differerent Org values can be combined. Pipes still align to the joint intersect point.
  • Fixed a condition where calculations could take a very long time if adjoining parts of two components were parallel.
  • Small improvements in 3D rendering code.

(everyone should be using 1.92a)
Version 1.62 contains the following new features:

  • Cone Bevel Joint – new joint - Intersect a flat plate with a cone or reducer shaped component.
  • Cone Miter Joint - new joint -  Two cone or reducer shaped components set end to end at a specified angle.
  • Cone Branch Joint can now handle cases where branch angle is small enough (or large enough) that it results in both components having end cuts.
  • Print templates to AutoCad® DXF files.    
  • Higher quality 3d rendering of complex designs.

(everyone should be using 1.92a)
Version 1.60 contains the following new features:

  •      Cone Branch Joint – new joint - Make branch joints using cone or reducer shaped components.
  •      Dead End Cap Joint – new joint
  •      Larger easier to see line thickness on templates.
  •      Better control of rotation of 3D preview
  •      Pan and zoom template previews and 3d preview with mouse and shift key on keyboard.
  •      Print sample templates with unregistered PC for evaluation purposes.
  •      Can set default parameters for new joints, “File/Store as Default”
  •      Better error and warning reporting for invalid parameters.
  •      Rewrite of the Manual
