    Fixed Defects

  • Sliding sashes only - Mortices in Rebates yes or no (JMS2-2)

    • Annotations on top or bottom sliding sash's without a frame have been amended.

    Within the joinery parameter for sliding sashes, selecting YES or NO "Mortice in rebate" will now reflect the selected option for the annotation on the drawing of the sash, for both width and height. This gives distance between components or distance between rebates for setting out purposes.

  • The new Glass Key is not printing correctly. (JMS2-3)

    • New layout for the Glass Key.

    The Glass Key has a new improved layout on the various printouts.

    Should you wish to not see the Glass Key at all, then turn it off by going to File> Properties>Other Settings and tick the option Remove Glass Key

  • Finishing Parameter Save option some times does not show its self. (JMS2-4)

    • We had an issue with a Finishing parameter whereby on occasion a new rate number did not save.

    This has now been corrected.

  • Issue when opening a job. (JMS2-8)

    • We had an issue when choosing and opening the very first job at the top of the list in the Open page.

    This issue has now been corrected.

  • Incorrect dims on Simple cutting list summary (JMS2-9)

    • BOM timber sizes were incorrect on the Simple cutting list Summary.

    This has now been corrected

  • Fixed sash gap (width) is now independent of an Opening sash gap (width) (JMS2-12)

    • Fixed sash gap (width) was using the opening sash gap (width) dimension. This was to keep the glass sizes the same width for the top and bottom sashes. We have altered the program to give you full control of the fixed sash side visual width.

    CAUTION BE AWARE:  SLIDING SASH MODULE.

    As the FIXED SASH GAP (WIDTH) has now been corrected and is independent of the SLIDING SASH GAP (WIDTH), please make a point of checking the sash and the sash glass sizes in new and current jobs.

    Old completed jobs saved that are not currently being worked on will also be affected when opened.

    The area of concern is row 155 (v2) in the sliding sash module.  If this is set to '0' then your glass width for the 'fixed sash' will be altered.

    To overcome this should you wish to, please set row 155 (v2) to the same value as in row 151 (v1).

    It would also be prudent to check and adjust if required, the visual width of the top and bottom sash stiles.

    Previous JMS backups will be affected when re-instated into JMS 2.4.6.0.

  • The project status line in one job is influencing a status line in another job. (JMS2-18)

    • An issue on a network setup with status lines was noticed when opening a job up on two different computers.

    This has now been fixed.

  • U-Values not calculated correctly in screen frame. (JMS2-19)

    • Occasionally when using screen frame and setting to use a wing-light cill with various cill horn lengths, the U-Value was not being calculated.

    This has now been fixed.

  • Problem with Update Fittings Minutes to Fit (JMS2-55)

    • When adding labour times to a fittings cost file within a large database, with many jobs saved, (say a 1 Gb database size), it was taking a very log time to update all existing jobs using the fitting where the time had just been updated.

    This has now been addressed with leaner code within the program. It now takes just a few seconds in a very large database.

  • Hang on adding new job (JMS2-56)

    • A customer reported JMS was hanging when adding a new enquiry. This has now been fixed.
