NCPlot v2.20 BETA 8 Release Notes
July 31, 2010


Fixed a bug in the subprogram handling that was created by the previous beta release.

Updated the new M98 subprogram call format:

M98 P1 Q1 L1
P = Program number
Q = Block number
L = Repeat count

Fixed a run time error that appeared if you tried to print from the viewport print preview without opening the setup dialog first.

Fixed a run time error that ocurred if you deleted the 'Script Timeout' setting on the preferences dialog.

Changed the way the file names are displayed for the open documents:
- The application title bar always displays the full path of the active document.
- The document title bar, the open files toolbar and the viewport will display just the file name unless one or more files has the same name. If one or more files has the same name then the full path is displayed for these files.

Added new edit tools "Jump to Top" and "Jump to Bottom" that will move the cursor to the beginning or end of the file, respectively.

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,

I think the link on your web site is still to Beta 7.
Glad to have you back.

haha, i hate to nit-pick, but does it still say, "this is the beta version,..." when you open it up? i would be nice to have a check box to not see the message. its a pita after a while.

Yes, the beta message is still there because, well, it's still a beta. I'm working on a file comparison tool which means that there will be at least one more beta yet before release.

looks as thought the full address is not showing in application title bar but is in macro translate window title bar. I had to uninstall and reinstall to show jump to top and jump to bottom (this may just be my system) otherwise all looks to be working fine

Hi Pat,

Thanks for the feedback, I finally noticed that the full file path does not show up when the documents are maximized. I'm working on a fix for this.

The toolbars are supposed to reset when you do an install, which is why those items showed up when you did that. You also could have reset the toolbars from within NCPlot using "File / Reset Toolbars".

Thanks,
Scott
