Release History

Changes/Additions

Category	Feature Description
Waterfall Edges	The Slabsmith Basic bundle now allows for Waterfall (drop) edges in Perfect Match.  This works much like assigning a backsplash to a counter only it drops the edge at 90 degrees.   See this video for a better understanding of what can be done with this new feature.
Cost and Pricing Propeties	While you could always make your own custom properties, cost and pricing are now first-class citizens in Slabsmith.   Cost is what you paid for your materials.  Price is the price you sell the material.  Remember, you can limit who see’s what in your company by assigning users and roles. Cost includes: Cost/Area Shipping Cost Landed Cost (Nominal area * Cost/Area) + Shipping Cost Price includes: Price/Area Price/Slab
Live Scan	Live Scan is a complete re-write of the previous “Scan” extension.  It provides realtime confirmation of your progress while completing physical inventory.   See this video for an overview of Live Scan.
Many minor updates, fixes, and changes.

2023.6.0

• Initial release

Changes/Additions

Category	Feature Description
New Add-on! The “Image Enhancement” Extension	This is an extension to the Basic Bundle that enhances the quality of the slab images.  Details here.
Upgraded handling of multiple templates (Perfect Match v2021.3.3+)	Templates and slabs always open in their own space on the left. Selecting a template highlights all pieces of the template Selecting a template makes ONLY that template visible in the right preview screen, and it fits the selected template to the screen.
Added: Scripting automation ( Slabsmith DB Admin )	Create SQL scripts to auto-populate slab properties in Slab Maker Creat Javascript scripts for slab property verification in Slab Maker Force empty fields to be filled in Force a default value on an emtpy field Create a custom overlay icon for thumbnail images in the Slab Manager.
Added: Customizable remnant naming ( Slabsmith DB Admin )	Provides a way to customize how remants are named.  By default, remnants are named with the original slab ID appended with a “-1”, “-2”, etc.   This allows customization to match external ERP system remnant nomenclatures.
New: Material Description Hierarchy (Slab Manager, Slabsmith DB Admin)	Updated Material description group to include a 4 tiered hierarchy in Slab Manager. Your current two tier hierarchy will be importend into the top and bottom levels, so nothing will change until you add the middle tiers using the Description Editor.
New: Description Editor (Slabsmith DB Admin )	Added the “Description Editor” to the Admin Program to allow easy updating of 2 Tier material descriptions to 4 tier descriptions.   Also very useful for correcting existing errors in the material description.   Details here.
New: Brightness/Contrast controls (Slab Manager, Perfect Match, Presentation Folder )	Updated the Brightness and Contrast controls to provide more useful results on standard and enhanced slab images.

2021.3.0

• Initial release

Changes/Additions

Module	Feature Description
General	Added a compact “no picture” Saw/Pick ticket. Duplicate slab ID’s are no longer permitted during slab creation. When upgrading to this version of Slabsmith duplicate Slab ID’s in an existing database will be found and the duplicate ID’s will have -dup1, dup2, etc. added to their ID’s.
Perfect Match™	Added “Snap” mode. Snap mode is similar to the “Common Line+” command but much faster and more flexible. Some commands are now modal Once selected they stay active until cancelled with {Esc} or a new command. Added “Part offset distance” drop down list to the bottom of the window. The “Part offset distance” is used anywhere a distance is needed for a command.  For instance “Snap” or “Common Line+”.  This value replaces the saw blade kerf as the distance used in the commands that need a distance. Interface GUI updates.
Slab Maker™ Slab Maker™ Lite	Added the ability to edit all slab properties on every slab when creating multiple slabs at the same time.
Slab Manager	Much improved slab “Hold” functionality Added hold icons to the slab thumbnail for “Hold”, “>1 Week”, “>2 weeks” photo Added an “OnHold” checkbox. This allows you to search all slabs, or only for slabs on hold, or only for slabs not on hold. Added the ability to sort by Hold Date Added “Consignment” checkbox.  You can search for slabs on consignment or not on consignment. Added a “Distributor” property.
Job Manager	Added “Hold” checkbox to search criteria This allows searching of all jobs, only jobs containing slabs on hold (a “hold job”), or only active jobs. Added a “Hold” checkbox column to the job grid. If a job is a “Hold Job”, the checkbox is checked. To convert a “Hold Job” to an active job, uncheck the hold checkbox.
Calibration	Added the ability to Validate camera movement and/or lighting changes on multiple calibration thicknesses. Interface changes to reflect validation changes Rework and updates to the calibration engine
Calibration Slab Consumer Locator Preferences	Interface refresh and tweaks
*NEW! Slab Creator API	Creates digital slab records in the DB by dopping a .slab file into a queue folder. Automatically opens in Slab Maker™ from the queue directory for further manipulation. .slab file needs as little information as an image .slab file can include everything: mark-up layer, properties, etc. Designed for third party use.  Contact us for usage details.

Patch history
2017.5.1:
    Fixed problem re-photographing slab after making multiple slabs at once
    Fix Perfect Match jpg output when multiple images selected (single images were fine)

The 2015.12.x was a minor upgrade but did include a new calibration engine designed to handle severely distorted calibration pictures, as well as including many minor fixes.

The 2015.7.x release notes follow:

Module	Feature Description
Perfect Match	Added the ability to create a remnant with a hold in the center Added the ability to select and delete multiple slabs. {Ctrl+left} click on the slab handle to add to the group to delete, then {Delete} key to delete the selection. Un-needed attributes attached to notes in DXF files are removed to increase speed. Add the ability to place a Slabsmith location target or user defined DXF based icon onto a slab
Slab Maker	Added the ability to automatically find and place locator geometry over Slabsmith location targets during digital slab creation. Added the ability to manually crop a remnant and resave the result to the database.  ( use case:  You cut a backsplash off of a remnant and need to approximately adjust the size of the new remnant without re-photographing it.)  Use: Set the Usable area over the area to be cropped, press {Ctrl+Shift+c}.  The manually cropped new remnant will show dashed red lines along the manual crop boundary in Perfect Match
Job Manager	Added the ability to define the columns in the “Slab info” tab of the Job Manager by modifying the “JobManagerView” in the Admin program.
Locator	Added the ability to find location marks and automatically align a DXF layout that contains location geometry
Admin	Added a new type of property, a “Computed Column”. This allows a property to be set using a formula. The formula can use existing properties within its calculations. Jobs (layouts) are now compressed in the database to save space
