USER'S GUIDE - ShipWeight

Hints and tricks
The General tab includes these options:
Units: Switch between SI and US units.
Log DB: Switch automatic logging on/off. The ‘On’ checkbox controls the
logging in general, while the ‘Import’ checkbox controls logging during import
of weight items.
Autosave every: Set the time period between AutoSave.
Summarize at startup: Set whether weight-groups should be summarized at
the start of a new session or not.
Use default CoG: (not in use)
Adm.perm. for Freeze: set if the user needs administrator privileges to use the
option ‘Freeze wgt.grp. over’ on the Estimate menu.
Extent: ‘default’ is the default extension used for a weight item if any of the
values VCG_min, VCG_max, LCG_min, LCG_max, TCG_min, or TCG_max
are missing.
‘min.’ is the minimum allowable extension for a weight item. The min value will
be used if the given extension of a weight item is less than the minimum
value.
5.1.2 Decimals
This tab-page is used to set the number of decimals for Weight, VCG, LCG,
TCG, VCG_min, VCG_max, LCG_min, LCG_max, TCG_min or TCG_max .
Wgt.grp.: control the number of decimals in the Main Window of Shipweight
Items: Set the number of decimals in the Items-dialog window.
The labels for center of gravity position (VCG, LCG and TCG) may be
renamed. This will affect the label for center of gravity in the main window,
the item dialog, and standard (embedded) reports.
