2021: Enhancements

Fixes

Defect number	Development area	Description
EPM-4822	Setup	Previously, printing a report with the Print to PDF option could cause an error or crash. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5225	Setup	In Tekla EPM, you now stay signed in with your Trimble Identity by default. When you exit Tekla EPM, you have the option to sign out. If you select the Trimble Identity - Sign Out check box once, you will sign out of your Trimble Identity each time you exit Tekla EPM. Image
EPM-5242	Setup	If starting the Tekla EPM Remote Server through the Tekla EPM Remote Monitor fails, the reason is now shown in an error message.
EPM-5051	Estimating	Previously, when an estimating job was copied, the paint system was not correctly copied to the standard clips in the new job. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5056	Estimating	Previously, the Summary Information - to Excel estimating report failed when the device was set to use comma (,) as the decimal separator. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5211	Estimating	Previously, you could not update the Manual Cost field for estimating items if you did not also update the cost in the Cost/Pc field. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5239	Estimating	Previously, when you imported IFC files that included welds that were not recognized or mapped, an error occurred. Now, Tekla EPM asks you to map the weld type.
EPM-5043	Project management	Previously, editing the details of an existing RFI recipient sometimes added an additional recipient instead of updating the details of the existing recipient. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5269	Project management	Previously, typing characters that were not numbers in the Journal Entry # field caused Tekla EPM to crash. This has now been fixed, so that you can use other characters in journal entry numbers as well.
EPM-4039	Production control	When you load a CNC file into a production control job, the file will no longer be considered a new version if only the quantity and phase have changed.
EPM-4580	Production control	On the Production Status dialog box, horizontal scrolling did not work when many summary fields were selected. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4958	Production control	In Production Control, load tracking now shows weights using the right conversion factor.
EPM-4961	Production control	Production and shipping statuses of assemblies are now published to Trimble Connect correctly when comment items are used as the main pieces of assemblies.
EPM-5059	Production control	Previously, when you completed a station on the cut list page in Tekla EPM Go, the hours shown for the completed production station in Production Control could have too many decimal places. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5060	Production control	When you select Review > Production Status in the Production Control menu with a production control job open, the Production Status dialog box now opens with the previously set filter. Previously, you had to set a filter each time you opened the Production Status dialog box. You can change the applied filter by clicking the Filter button.
EPM-5061	Production control	In Freight Maintenance, you can now change the currency used in the Minimum Freight Charge Per Job, Minimum Freight Charge Per Load, and Minimum Freight Charge fields.
EPM-5183	Production control	Previously, SDS/2 job import crashed if the job contained invalid sequences. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5243	Production control	Previously, if you had selected the Open to Filter Selection option in Production Control company standard settings, all filters were not available in the initial Production Control Filters dialog box. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5092	Administration	Tekla EPM API: The SaveNest API command now properly saves the sequence and lot number of parts in the nest.
EPM-5093	Administration	Tekla EPM API: The SaveNest API command now allows nesting Production Control items on a requisition.
EPM-5133	Administration	Previously, Tekla EPM API crashed if you tried to change the shape, grade, dimensions, or length of an existing nest. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4271	Purchasing	Previously, a rounding error in purchase order reports could cause a discrepancy in the cost subtotals. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4360	Purchasing	Previously, when you opened Document Index from the Select Requisition/Purchase Order dialog box, the Select Requisition/Purchase Order dialog box closed even when the Keep Purchasing Selection Screen Open check box was selected in the purchasing company standard settings. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5058	Purchasing	Previously in Document Index, heat documents could not be added for a purchase order if the vendor of the purchase order had been changed. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5204	Inventory	Inventory transaction history reports have been added to the report groups in the Automated Events dialog box, so that you can run inventory transaction history reports automatically.
EPM-5245	Inventory	When you take from stock an inventory item that is linked to an external nest, you can now select to use the nesting details of that external nest, including the remnant.
EPM-5131	Requisitions	If you uncombine an item that has been combined within a requisition, Tekla EPM now restores the information in the item's Comment field.
EPM-5205	Order entry	Previously, adding new payment terms for the Order Entry module caused MySQL errors. This has now been fixed.
EPM-4963	Integrations	You can now adjust the drop length for plates nested in external software when you import the nests into Tekla EPM. To do so, select the Override External Drop Nest check box and define the drop properties. Image
EPM-4978	Integrations	CIS/2 imports into the Combining and Estimating modules have been removed.
EPM-5004	Integrations	When you export ProNest PNL files, you now have the option to use the full path of the CNC files instead of just the file name. Image
EPM-5035	Integrations	The DSTV+ Settings dialog box now has a new Export DSTV+ For option. This option allows you to select a target software for the export, so that differences between the software can be taken into account in the export.
EPM-5127	Integrations	Previously, when you imported HTML files with the ProNest integration, the import crashed if Tekla EPM could not connect to the ProNest database. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5128	Integrations	In some regions, equal-leg angles and square HSSs are defined by only two values, depth and thickness. Since Tekla EPM requires three values (depth, width, and thickness), Tekla EPM will now convert the material description of imported items by duplicating the depth.
EPM-5165	Integrations	Previously, plates in NC files generated by Tekla EPM had thicknesses entered twice, and the kilograms per square meter data was missing. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5166	Integrations	Importing nest results from SigmaNest did not read the job field correctly. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5226, EPM-5227	Integrations	Previously, when you imported jobs from SDS/2 and mapped to the right drawing approval status, the selected drawing approval status was not saved. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5266	Integrations	SigmaNest program names were previously stored as a number, which caused issues when a user chose a text name. This field has now been updated to accept non-numeric characters also.
EPM-5267	Integrations	Previously, when you imported nested items from ProNest to Tekla EPM and synchronized the inventory between ProNest and Tekla EPM, the remnants were sometimes incorrectly set to zero in ProNest. This has now been fixed.
EPM-5274	Integrations	Previously, when Trimble Connect Organizer performed a sync with an empty node, an error occurred. This has now been fixed.
