Improved

Blast Classification Update: Revised blast class labels in SHOTPlus™ print reports from numeric (3–6) to alphabetical (A–D) across
- Blast Summary Report,
- Evaluation Report,
- Survey Set Out, and
- Job Pack Cover Label. ¹
Tagged Line Text Alignment Fix: Corrected the display of rotated text in the Tagged Line View Object in Hole Measurement Tool, ensuring text remains centered along line segments when the view is rotated. Tagged line text now stays properly aligned after adding measurements to the plan and rotating the blast view.
Improved Dummy Hole Handling: Dummy holes created by the Fill Polygon Tool are now placed in a new “Connection Points” layer under Blast Holes, improving clarity and organization.
Row Count Accuracy: Row count now excludes dummy holes, ensuring accurate reporting and backward compatibility.
AVM Domain download now excludes deleted POIs, ensuring removed monitoring points do not appear in SHOTPlus after import.
Improved In-app support files and screenshot handling for ticket creation.

Fixed

Powder Factor (PF) values now correctly display for Hole Type 1 / Front Row holes in Blast Loading Sheets and Analytics View after Boretrak data is applied.
Undo action now fully clears dummy holes created outside the polygon when using the Fill Polygon tool.
Users can now select polylines even when the Analytics View window is open, resolving previous selection issues.
Opening the Front Row Volume View in a blank file no longer causes an unhandled exception.
Removed AVI recording functionality from Visualise Timing to prevent corrupted file exports and improve stability.
The EBS Time Set tool now applies timing only to selected holes, resolving the issue where deselected holes were incorrectly updated.
Loading tables now correctly update Length Range and Edit Diameter fields for both Imperial and Metric units, with support for three decimal places.
Hole diameter in Imperial units can now be set to user-defined values (e.g., 7.875 inches) without reverting to incorrect defaults.
The Line Offset tool now works in both directions, resolving a previous limitation that limited it to one direction.
Signal tube travel time is now correctly included in blast timing calculations, restoring functionality for accurate delay adjustments. ¹

Ensure product data is refreshed to apply the fix:
- Country data updates automatically on startup.
- Site data updates after uploading/downloading a plan from BlastIQ or by using Refresh Product Data.
- Travel time is included in firing times unless “Use nominal time only” is selected.
- There is no separate option for tube delay in nominal times; timing calculations handle it automatically when nominal-only is not ticked.
