  New

  1. BlastIQ™ Import Behaviour:
    1. SHOTPlus™ now applies backfill and re-drill tolerances to holes without specific loading rules.
    2. SHOTPlus™ now maintains manually edited loading when importing from BlastIQ™.
    3. SHOTPlus™ no longer copies the adjusted design for existing holes in a plan from BlastIQ™, adjusted design in SHOTPlus™ is based on imported measurements, loading rule application, and current loading structure.
    4. When importing new holes (any hole that does not exist in the current SHOTPlus™ plan) SHOTPlus™ will import the adjusted charging and initiation design from BlastIQ™ and mark the holes as manually edited.
    5. SHOTPlus™ now stores an internal flag for holes loaded with loading rules unsupported by BlastIQ™.
    6. Where loading rules are reapplied automatically, SHOTPlus™ will now ensure that empty holes have a loading design, prior to measurements being assigned to a hole, loading rules being reapplied and an updated loading design being generated.
  2. After updating, SHOTPlus™ will now include an update message on the 'Welcome' dialog with a link to the BlastIQ™ release notes page.
  3. Link to SHOTPlus™ release notes page included in the SHOTPlus™ About dialog.

  8. SHOTPlus™ Beta Licences will no longer auto-authenticate for Orica users.
