Trimble proudly announces the release of Vulcan 2012 v1.

This release provides each user with the following updates and enhancements:

• A change to our accessories data that converts existing accessories data items to a single list called components that can be shared by multiple connections (TDC,TDF, and Duct Mate all use the same gasket) This functionality will eliminate redundant line item reporting and reduce the likelihood of having multiple instances of the same item and reduce paper waste
  
• Components provide greater flexibility to Vulcan reporting for shop and field use
• Components have the additional capability of accumulating using spacing.  With spacing we can for the first time calculate the number of Center Clips needed per job
• Components can be marked as items to be reported on the Shipping Report.  Now items can be shipped to the field independently of the fittings they attach to, such as slip and drives, center clips, nuts and bolts      
• Components marked as items that get shipped to the field can then be tracked by the Vulcan Tracking program
• New Bulk Reporting can now calculate items by the number of units, boxes, and rolls etc.  Traditionally, Vulcan has given our customers the total footage used.  Let’s say the job needed 87’of gasket.  At this point, the end user would have to determine the number of rolls needed, and in this case, they would send out a total of 4 rolls needed to be shipped
  
• Consumption can be represented in normal units or in bulk units
• Bulk consumption will be user defined such as box, roll or case
• Bulk consumption can get rounded off to the next higher unit
• From the grid, the status of a Vulcan item can now be set to “back ordered” until the items are ready to ship
• Lead-in’s have been added to Flat Pattern Modify
• Automatic Breakup of offsets 180 & 183 may now be forced to use automatic breakup when it is not oversized
  
• In Sheet Review, a polyline can be used to produce a longitudinal Shear Cut to maximize the amount of usable scrap
• Saving blanks as DXF files from Flat Pattern Modify and Flat Pattern View
• Sheet Border Spacing can now be set independently for all four sides
• The additional option of adding “Kerf” to most fittings located on the Special Fitting Input page
• View 2 sheets at a time in Sheet Review, and be able to drag and drop a blank from one to another 
• Ability to add or delete a sheet when in sheet review
• For our Vulcan and Trimble Design Link customers, we have added the Trimble globe icon to indicate a TDL job in the tree view display
