This new feature was created to meet customer requirements for using Tap Ports to designate `Drop Types` as an alternative to the MDU Window. With this comes a way to designate count types and drops without using the MDU window. The new count option is independent of the existing MDU Window. The two do not interact.<\/p>\n<p>3 new columns have been added to the design mode. The `drop count type` columns can be found to the far right of the Design Assistant design mode screen. See the <a href='https:\/\/wp-lode.azurewebsites.net\/drop-count-types'>Drop Count Types &#8211; Feature Highlight<\/a> for full details on how to use this new feature<\/p>\n<li>PCD Folder added to the Project Settings Dialog<\/li>\n<p>This folder is the start of the search path for attached networks (PCD connections). This can be the same as the Network folder but it doesn&#8217;t have to be the same. The PCD folder is fixed, meaning that the program doesn&#8217;t ever change it. The only way it should change is by manually editing it in the Project Settings dialog.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>11.00 Maintenance notes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Edit Tap Plugins has been updated.<\/li>\n<p>\nThere were certain  situations where random characters were shown instead of the available plugins from the set spec.\n<\/p>\n<li>When using the Design Assistant with a Viewer only dongle, spec files cannot be saved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Feature Documentation<\/h4>\n<p>More detailed information on these new features can be cound in our <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.lodedata.com\/\">documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have released version 11.00 of The Lode Data Design!
