There was a complaint about when a user pressed the F2-Add button while in the Order or Pattern Programming Screens. Nothing would happen if there was no Order or Pattern in their respective programming screen and the right side, grid side, of the screen had focus.

Under this condition the focus will now be switched to the left side, tree side, of the screen and a blank Order or Pattern will be created. This is the equivalent of the user pressing the F1-Next Window and then pressing the F2-Add buttons. We are just doing it for them.

In addition, when editing a Pattern Number on a pattern with no operations, the focus will be switched to the grid and an empty operation will be added. This imitates the same behavior that the Order Tree and Item Grid already exhibited when editing the last field within the Order control.

These are all edits intended to guide a newer operator along the path of editing Orders and Patterns if they are unfamiliar with how to navigate the screens.

The Coil Unload window pops up when a new coil is detected by the Tail Out input. The window title is "Unload Current Coil". It shows the coil number and footage of the coil we believe was unloaded, or used up, to make room for the new coil that was just detected. The window also has three buttons.

1. Return Coil to Inventory
2. Coil was Completed
3. Cancel

When you consider that the user just loaded a new coil and is now being presented with a window titled "Unload Current Coil", it may skew how they interpret the meaning of the three buttons. What we really want to know is what happened to the coil that was previously loaded prior to us detecting this new one. We believe the title of "Unload Current Coil" was leading new operators to mistakenly select the Cancel button. The Cancel button is intended for any situation where a coil was backed off of the Tail Out sensor and then rethreaded.

We have changed the window title to "Unload Previous Coil".

Also, the "Cancel" button text was changed to "Coil was NOT Unloaded".

We believe both of these changes will clarify the purpose of this window and help operators select the correct option.
