Important
SHOTPlus™ will be undergoing a database transition to complete an upgrade of its services to the BlastIQ™ platform.
In order to make this transition as smooth as possible for our users, some changes will be implemented to collect information about which products are being used within SHOTPlus™ files. This data will be collected for at least a 90 day period. This information will only be used internally to ensure that all products in use are available on the BlastIQ™ Platform when the service transition takes place.
This will be implemented in SHOTPlus™ Beta 6.17.4 and greater.
It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to this version when it is available.
If you do not upgrade to these versions when they become available, you may experience disruptions when the service upgrade takes place.
SHOTPlus™ has updated the Graphical Charging Rule interface to provide more defined behaviour at the intersection between ranges.
What does this mean for users:
- Existing rule sets will be converted to honor the new behaviour when opened in SHOTPlus™ Surface versions 6.17.1 or later.
- The new format betters reflects the way deck lengths are applied to blastholes and as a result, the deck length at the beginning of each range has been reduced by 100 mm.
Detailed information of these changes can be found in this Knowledge Base Article:
