Here you can find information about what is new in Carbon Compass version 1.1.13.
Unlike its predecessor Galahad Compass 5.4.3 (last version on Oxygen platform), this release is based on a new Carbon platform that provides better protection from u nauthorized access which includes a new OX2Z file format and new requirements to HASP keys . See details in the Preventing Unauthorized Access section below. |
To provide a more solid user experience within the polishing process with Galahad Compass, multiple improvements have been made to the system workflow.
For each step, the slider bar is now colored and contains additional numeric data:
About 4 colors:
You can right-click at any position of the slider bar and then mark actual cut in accordance with your stone current state.
This will lead to:
| If your actual cut is within yellow or red , the step will be marked as "Completed" (grey steps). |
| If your actual cut is within a grey area, you need to continue polishing - the green area will show how many µm you need to cut to reach the left of allowed yellow . |
Another big change in how the system works is for the order of work.
Unfinished Steps
Let us say, you did not finish polishing the step, but want to move to another facet and polish it now. Let us consider an example:
| Here you did not finish work on the facet #113 (now step 3 - "In Work", but decided to Start work on the facet #116. |
| So the system follows your decision: work on the facet #116 is now your step "In Work" and you can start working on it. But pay your attention to what happened with #113 - it was split by the Actual Cut mark into what had already been done (now it is "Completed" step 3) and what is still remains to be done: step 9 at the end of the sequence - the work on #113 should be finished there. |
Unfinished Stages
The same approach is now used for stages. To finish stage that has unfinished steps, in the list, right-click the stage and then from the contextual menu, select Finish Stage .
This will split the stage into two - one "Completed" (with all steps that have already been completed), and another "Not Started" - at the end of the sequence, with all steps to be completed.
The functionality described above is available not only in the G1 Galahad mode but also in the Compass mode:
You can not only set but also Clear actual cut from the step:
Note that the currently selected step is not the same as the step "In Work":
In G1 mode, in the solution list, the new " Compass/GPS Actual cut" model is now presented. This model is updated each time an actual cut is changed on the faceting step in work. I3D mini and Comparative I3D reports can be built for this model.
Carbon HASP ( Hardware Against Software Piracy ) protection has been further improved. This requires an upgrade:
If you need anything mentioned above, please, contact your supplier of software or Octonus Support.
How to detect what key you have:
| HASP 3.x | HASP 4.x |
|---|---|

| No "silver eye". | Has a "silver eye". |
The system now opens and saves projects in a new OX2Z format only. The previous versions of the system cannot open OX2Z files.
