      • Manual Edits Detected: The loading information for one or more holes in this plan has been manually edited. Please be aware that manually edited holes will not have loading rules automatically applied.

      • Non BlastIQ™ Loading Rule Applied: One or more holes in this plan have been assigned a loading rule that does not conform to the BlastIQ™ system.

  Fixed

  1. Exclusion Zone Tool:
    • The calculations for the Stemming Ejection Polygon were not merged correctly when clipping polygons to Surface Topography.
    • Stemming Ejection Surface Merging Error affecting the merging of the Stemming Ejection Surface with other surfaces. This issue occurs specifically for 3D surfaces and affects both 2D and 3D surfaces when the "Max. distance all source" option is selected.
    • An issue with inconsistent predicted travel distances due to the charge mass per metre calculation for packaged explosives. The calculation method has been adjusted to ensure consistent results across identical holes.
    • The burden calculation has been updated to use the actual hole deviation and face profile values, ensuring a more precise safety analysis.
  2. Users were able to simultaneously initiate more than one instance of the BlastIQ™ import workflow.
  3. Missing DRX ID in Exported WebGen™ Report.
  4. Hole Loading Diagram doesn't display product names for Actual loading.
  5. Discrepancy in Harness Wire Length calculation for EBS Tie-ups, in the Summary at "Edit EBS Lead-in" window and the "EBS Field Report".
  6. DXF Import: Fixed an issue where the imported lines were thick.
  7. An issue occurred when attempting to change the colour of a surface in the Visibility Manager.
  8. Fixed an issue where the Hole Design History was throwing an error due to an empty first entry.
  9. Resources List:
    1. An issue where unsupported products were displaying in the resource list. 
    2. Difference in recorded lead lengths between BlastIQ™ Mobile and SHOTPlus™.
    3. An issue with the UNITronic™ Product Depth Display in the Hole.
  10. SHOTPlus™ was posting the incorrect design to BlastIQ™ when holes contained measurements.
  11. The range for hole bearing values has been limited to [0°, 360°].
