1. Development of the users and user groups mode. Access for each user is based on the rights given by the administrator. The access can be restrained based on the activity of the user on the application.
   
2. Added support for the companies that work in dealer type partnerships. This support feature includes the possibilities of protecting the information about the materials used, about the extra costs, about the calculation details of the offers created by the Dealer.
   
3. Client/Server. Ra Workshop is the only Romanian carpentry software application (of what we know) that has the client/server 3 tier version (on 3 levels). For big companies with carpentry workshops the client/server version is mandatory. This type of build is the best method for a self-acting production.
   
4. Manual labor calculation. The new version calculates the time and cost of manual labor operations that need to be done for a project.
   
5. New report: Client Table Offer. Contains the same information as the Client Offer without the window designs. The resulting report is more compact.
   
6. New report: Dealer Offer. Contains the same information as the Client Offer but the offer calculations is different. This has only the value of the carpentry. Optionally the glass value can be added.
   
7. New report: Dealer Table Offer. Contains the same information as the Dealer Offer without the window designs. The resulting report is more compact.
   
8. New report: Glass table. The report contains the glass designs with the window quotations. It is used for glass ordering for irregular shapes.
   
9. New report: Manual labor. Gives information about the manual labor operations.
   
10. New report: Project Status. The report presents the state of the projects from the database.
    
11. Easy offering. A new mode of designing has been introduced: the wizard tool (this will guide the user through all the steps required to create a new component).
    
12. Security access for extra costs. These are grouped upon access levels. Only the users with the required access level can view and edit the extra costs.
    
13. Optimization mode:
• Added the possibility to optimize at two bars.
• Optimization based on production lot (based on the number of pushing-cart cells).
• Optimization options additions: irregular shapes exclusions, exclusion of components that contain irregular shapes, exclusion of segments with angles different from 90 and 45 degrees.
• Added the possibility of exclusion from the optimization of the segments available between certain dimensions. (I.e.: segments that cannot be cut by the machine automatically).
• Added possibility to set the type of optimization and the number of windows in the lot for each profile code.
• Modify Cutting Optimization Report. The new report presents visually the profile bar and the way the segment will be cut. The report was improved by adding information about the cellule and pushing-cart in which the cut segment will be placed.
• Added possibility of adjusting the offer based on the optimization. The excess resulted from the optimization can be calculated in the offer.
  
14. Numerical Command (CNC):
• CNC – Profile Cutting
• Elumatec: E255/A, E555/1
• Rotox: ZGS 314
• Kaban: 1030, 1040 (InfoSys 2.0)
• Pertici: 500F2K
• Techna: TK145/10 Gold
• CNC – Profile Welding
• Sturtz: 4HSM_JC, 4VSM_JC
• CNC - Glass
• Optimat
15. User Warning. When calculating a structure the user is warned about the possible errors it might contain. (I.e.: glass is missing, joining profiles of different thickness, window dimensions for which there are no fittings, etc.)
16. Different way of introducing cutting quotations. All cuts will be made in absolute quotations.
    
17. Modified mode of identifying segments (references). The new system is very easy to interpret (it is similar to the one in version 2.4.1).
18. Extra costs:
• Added new types of extra costs: loss, montage, transport, discount.
• Added access and edit rights.
• Added currency on the value type extra costs.
• Customizing costs for each component.
19. Modified Client Offer Report. Added options for report creation. Some of these are: discount, montage, material information, etc. .
    
20. Modified Execution Plan Report. The new report version displays the information in a more user friendly way (like in version 2.4.1).
21. Modified Window Panel Report. The report has been updated with new options. In addition the designs display the quotations of the mullions outside the wing.
    
22. Modified Glass Order Report. The report calculates the surfaces of every type of glass.
    
23. Production Project. The offers can be grouped into a production project for optimization and production.
    
24. Added new irregular shape: semi-oval.
    
25. Panel calculation. They are calculated differently from the glass: they become part of the carpentry cost.
    
26. Ra Workshop application integration with Ra Mobile. The projects created with Ra Mobile (on PDA or mobile phone) can be opened with Ra Workshop.
    

Modified shutter and insects net designing. The designing has been improved and is now more user friendly.

Important: this version will be available only for the clients that purchased Software Assurance or Update. For details about these services click here. The clients that have not chosen one of these services when they purchased the license they can choose to do it now. For details about these services access the following link: http://www.pyramid.ro/Ro/Pages/RaWorkshop/Services.aspx . The users that received the application from a profile manufacturer or from a dealer must visit the manufacturer section of this forum to see how they can receive the latest version.

Important: Ra Workshop 3.1 does not allow the parallel function of Ra Workshop 2.4.1. If you use Ra Workshop 2.4.1 when you update to the new version you must renounce the old one.

The evolution of Ra Workshop continues at a sustained pace. Work has begun for two versions: Ra Workshop 3.1.2 – a minor version which will contain the recommendation and input of the users that update their applications - and Ra Workshop 3.2 – a major version with new features. The list of the features that will be implemented in this version can be found on this forum under the Sugestii & Solicitari section. We await your input as well, especially because the list is still open for suggestions. We will implement as many requested features as time allows us.

Last but not least we would like to thank the users that have given us their input and suggestions thus helping us create Ra Workshop 3.1. We apologize for any discomfort we may have caused during the development and we insure them of our support for future versions.
