A busy month for the loadplan editor and the rules engine.
Editing layouts
Layouts are now editable inline on the Loadplan step, so you don’t have to leave the plan to tweak how it prints or renders. You can also open the layout editor from Preferences on a sample loadplan — handy for setting up a company default without needing a real plan loaded. Each layout now carries a name and description.
Rules
A new Complete layers only rule — restrict items so they only load in full layers. The input for Zone rules got a cleaner, less error-prone form.
Workspace
- A new TixHi column, calculated for single-SKU pallets with uniform layers.
- A new Group distribution block for your loadplan sections.
Loading instructions
Loading-step instructions now count per index in a stack rather than per height increment, so more fits into each layer of the printed guide. Identical consecutive stacks are grouped together in the output.
Fixes worth mentioning
- Excel loadplan: hold-column totals in the loadlist unit view no longer end up transposed.
- Feet-and-inch output always shows the unit, since it’s mixed by nature.
