Change Inventory• DONE - Key Cost Drivers Screen for Machining and Injection Molding• DONE - Ability to reach a Top-10 list of GCDs sorted by manufactoring time (in Geometry tab, not KCDs)• DONE - Heat Map view usage that is more realistic• DONE - Make sure Key Cost Drivers tips are expandable• DONE - Ribbon toolbar icons (most)• DONE - Emphasize cost per unit more than total cost in the header• DONE - Bring back access to older versions in the form of a dropdown menu next to the part name.• DONE - Remove non-rectangular aspects of popup dialogs• DONE - Show the Part Details view• DONE - Find a location for the things that are in the icon menu for controlling the chart: Show GCD labels,
Draw Direction, Turning Axes, etc.• DONE - Show a mode for dealing with assemblies & Decide whether to show process routing at the part level• DONE - Uncosted GCDs require acknowledgement before showing a cost, but then show the cost. Don't block
as an error in all cases• DONE - When in a step of the wizard, teach where the same functions can be found in the toolbar later• DONE - Consider performance implications of doing incremental re-costing after each wizard step. Allow
stoppage, or delay the start to a time when the user is not actively editing the next step in the wizard?
