eVSM v6.32 released

We've just released a new update to eVSM, v6.32, which has the following enhancements:

  • A new Food Network Wizard for modeling end-to-end food manufacturing and distribution
  • Fixed 5 major bugs, and several minor ones
  • Improved NVU hide/show performance substantially (should be at least 2x faster)
  • Optimized some low-level functions for speed, should make most of the product feel a little zippier.
  • Added many-to-one and one-to-many Auto Sequence buttons, to allow you to select a single center as an originating center, and multiple destination centers (or vice versa) and add tag sequence arrows.  Also added the same tools, but for pipe arrows.
  • Added smarter units converter detection, so that if you don't add a quick time center we add whatever units are missing and make you fill them out before we allow solve to run.
  • Now applying hide/show settings when you drop shapes out from a quick stencil.
  • Added a new dialog for controlling hide/show of variable names, which only shows the variables currently on the map, in alphabetic order.  This is currently only available in the Beta Tab.
  • Added double-click to edit a variable in the List Variables dialog.  This dialog was new in like v6.31 I think, and basically it's like Visio's Custom Properties window, so you leave the dialog open and when you select a center we show you all the data on that center, hidden and visible.  Now you can double click a variable to edit it.
  • Added beta tools for standardizing properties on all kaizen shapes on a page, as well as 2-way Excel import/export of kaizen data.  This is barely out of alpha testing, so be cautious in using it and know that there's a possibility of losing your data if you use it.
