Perfect Graining Fixes

1. When optimizing products with a perfect grained container in the operation, it was sometimes the case that parts would be placed incorrectly, not conforming to the order or placement laid out in initial drawings. Certain parts, such as drawers and drawer fronts, would sometimes be placed at the top of the sheet, despite not being intended or set to, for example.

1. A similar issue with the alignment of grain matched parts was also reported; grain matched parts, intended to occupy a specific position on a sheet during processing would instead be placed incorrectly, with top and bottom parts swapping positions, parts being flipped to the wrong face, or forced length/width placement. 
   

1. Another issue was specifically occurring when setting perfect grain parts in sawing optimization operations. A similar issue with part placement would occur, in which parts would be placed incorrectly when set to grain match, resulting in the grain container being larger than the actual sheet of material it was assigned to. 
   

1. All of these issues have been resolved- part placement in perfect graining containers should now be correct. Parts should no longer be moved in such a way that the container exceeds the size of the sheet it is on, parts should be placed on the correct side, with the correct formula for placement, and there should be no issue with either sawing or nesting operations that have perfect graining enabled. 
   

Database Fixes and Modifications

1. There was an issue with linking information in the databases of some users. This would result in information failing to properly link itself to other attributes, such as the phone number of a contact failing to associate itself with the contact properly, resulting in the phone number not automatically appearing as intended whenever the contact is added into project positions under Company Setup.
   
2. When copying products to a new, custom category using the database explorer, rather than appearing with their standard quantity of 1 (or whatever quantity was set to be their default using database explorer), the copied cabinets would instead all be set to have a quantity of 0.

1. A new column of data has been added to the database structure of work orders: the LabelImageName column, which lists the file name of images associated to the labels of specific parts in the order.

1. A modification has been made to the way that products can be imported into Toolbox. Prior to this modification, the data of imported products would import the product with the LinkIDCategory blank. This would result in the product(s) not being categorized upon import. This modification will instead allow products to be imported with the LinkIDCategory of the product intact.

1. All of these issues have been resolved- databases should have all data correcting to their associated attributes, and copied products that have been created in a custom category should appear in their standard or set quantity. With the new LabelImageName column, users will now be able to locate the file name of the image associated with the labels for respective parts in their operation, and imported products should now be capable of being imported with their LinkIDCategory remaining intact, allowing for a smoother experience importing products.
