New Report Group Feature Request
I was very happy to get the 2020 update with Report Groups. It was the first thing I attempted to setup, which was very easy. However, while working through the setup and actually printing reports I would suggest the following: Have an option to select a particular printer for each report. Some of our reports require to be printed on a label printer. At this point I need to exclude from the report grouping. In Work Order Creation window, provide a pull down of selected Report Groups available. We

In Processing Center move "Reports" from "General" menu to the Main Menu
The most common task in the Processing Center I run after processing parts is printing reports. It would be nice if I didn't have to dig for the "Reports" menu. This should be included in the Main Menu bar. Preferably after "Scrap Options"

Can we add the the Length & Width label back to the part image for labels?
I have screen shot of an image from a past label where the part image had the Length & Width Labeled “in line” with the part image to show the orientation of the part. This was great and key when you have parts where the Length & Width of the part is close to the same size and you are then asking an operator to guess and possibly rotate a part. How can we add this back into the image? The current “OptimizationResult.WMF” doesn’t include the dims but it does have the H-Boring. The “Parts.WMFStreamDimension”

Formula Help Adding Bottom Nailer to Base Cabinets when Remove Bottom Prompt is on
We typically do not use the Bottom Nailer in our Base Cabinets. But in situations where we remove the bottom and run the back to the floor, I want this to be added. I changed the Bottom Nailer Prompt prompt to: =IF(Remove_Bottom=1,Use_Bottom_Nailer,0)
