In the Borehole Manager's datasheets, like Lithology, Stratigraphy, etc., You can click on the title of a column to sort by that column. There are a couple of caveats: The column for the datasheet's type does not sort, like Strat Type, Lith Type, etc. Clicking on the title a second time will reverse the sort except for the multi-column datasheets like I-Data, P-Data, T-Data, I-Text, and P-Text, the under lying component Dataset, TClientDataSet, does not support it.
(063) 03/15/23/JCJ - Improvement:

(046) 02/16/23/JCJ - Improvement:
Borehole Manager - File | Export | Stratigraphy options were confusing. "Data Type" tab was renamed to "'Z3 Column Data Type", as they only applied to that column. Since the options for "Depth", "Upper Elevation" and "Lower Elevation" are always part of the export they are no longer shown as options for the Z3 column. Also if the Depth's Directions and Angles are not showing on the Borehole Manager's Stratigraphy tab, they are not exported.
(045) 02/15/23/MIW - Improvement:
Scales for RockPlot2D file in ReportWorks can now be specified with an engineering scale.
(044) 02/15/23/JCJ - Improvement:

(040) 02/06/23/MIW - Bug Fix:
The Load Layout option in the 2D Log Designer will now update the settings displayed in the dialog when you load a previously saved layout.

The "Override Automatic Titles" option within the Parallel Profile menus (used by a variety of programs) now works correctly.
(038) 02/02/23/JPR - Bug Fix:
Vertically exaggerated multi-profile diagrams are now displayed correctly. Previous versions would be plotted at a vertical exaggeration of 1.0 thereby requiring that the user manually specify the vertical exaggeration after the diagram was displayed. In the example shown below, the diagram containing four profiles is now initially plotted at the specified vertical exaggeration of 50X.
(037) 02/01/23/JPR - Bug Fix:
Grid silhouettes that are added to multiple parallel profiles will be plotted on the their individual profiles instead of projecting all of the grids onto the first diagram.

The RockPlot3D Animation Tools are no longer reversing the images in the video.
(035) 01/30/23/JPR - Cosmetic:

A suite of new tools has been added to a new tab labeled "Options" within the Utilities / 3-D / Tubes program. These options include the ability to wrap images around the tubes. Video with description available by clicking this LINK
(033) 01/27/23/JCJ - Bug Fix:
When exporting I-Data, P-Data, T-Data, I-Text and P-Text and sorting by "Order Field" was causing an error when using SQLServer as the database engine. This was due to differences in SQL dialects, it worked with SQLite but not SQLServer. It now works with both engines.
(032) 01/27/23/JCJ - Bug Fix:
Borehole Manager: View | Change Sorting - now shows the current sorting of the boreholes.
(031) 01/26/23/JCJ - Bug Fix:
RockWorks seems to delete Location "Optional" fields during data dictionary creation was reported by a customer. The problem occurred when the data dictionary was missing for a project and was therefore created (based on defaults), and the project needed to update the dictionary/database to a new version. The default dictionary obviously does not have any of the optional fields. When the update requires rewriting a table due to an update to the table (Location table in this case) to the new version, it was being based on the default dictionary, ignoring existing optional fields in the database. So, the rewrite of the table left these fields out. Now when the Data Dictionary is missing and is copied in from the default, we update it for any optional fields found in the database tables.
(030) 01/26/23/JPR - New Feature:
A new item titled "View This List As An HTML File" has been added to the base of the How-To "tree". Clicking on this item and selecting the Copy option will copy the URL to the Windows clipboard so that it can be sent to others who may not be able to access the RockWorks How-To option (e.g., RockWorks is not installed on their machine).
(029) 01/24/23/JPR - Improvement:
It is no longer possible to launch two or more instances of the How-To dialog. This prevents problems with multiple-clicks on the How-To button.
(028) 01/24/23/JPR - Bug Fix:
The borehole location map options now include an option that determines if stratigraphic information labels will be plotted adjacent to the borehole symbol or at the plan view downhole locations. In addition, if the stratigraphic information is plotted at the downhole locations, non-stratigraphic information will be plotted adjacent to each borehole.
(027) 01/23/23/MIW - Bug Fix:
The Add New Borehole function in RockPlot2D now offers a dialog where the user can select a surface grid, fixed elevation or no elevation for the borehole elevation. Additionally a a Total Depth is added.
(026) 01/23/23/MIW - Bug Fix:
The Shape Polygon to grid program now offers replacement options based on polygon order, highest vale or lowest value.
(025) 01/22/23/JPR - Improvement:
Stratigraphy data (if available) is now shown wihtin block label boxes for non-vertical boreholes.

(011) 01/08/23/JPR - Improvement:
The Striplogs / Log Profile tab has been renamed to "Projection" within the 2D Striplog Profile, Section, and Projected-Section programs to be consistent with the re-design of the 2D Striplog menu. Note: Striplogs within profiles do not have a Projection tab because they are always plotted using the Normal Projection (i.e., the logs are projected into the panel as-is).
(010) 01/08/23/JPR - New Feature:
A video-help button has been added to the 2D Striplog / Projection sub-menu. This video can be viewed HERE
(009) 01/08/23/JPR - Improvement:

(008) 01/06/23/MIW - Bug Fix:
The RockPlot2D Color Legend using the Min-Mid-Max scheme requires an odd number of intervals. If the number of intervals is not odd then the program decreases the minimum value by the contour interval.
(007) 01/06/23/JPR - Improvement:
Small video icons have been added to the upper-right corners of the grid-related sub-menus shown below. Clicking on these icons will display context-sensitive videos explaining the items related to the sub-menu such as grid dimensions and algorithm explanations.
(006) 01/06/23/JPR - Improvement:
The Preferences / Miscellaneous / EAA Mode has been relabeled as "Do not plot borehole data above Collar Elevation or below the borehole Total Depth in sections, profiles, or 3D diagrams."
(005) 01/06/23/JPR - Bug Fix:
The depth-bar for 2D angled and deviated striplogs that are plotted vertically or "unwound" now shows the vertical depths rather than the drilled depths.
(004) 01/05/23/JPR - Improvement:
The initial RockWorks "splashscreen" no longer shows the major version number (i.e., the year in which the last compilation took place). This slightly decreases the amount of time required to load the program into memory.
(003) 01/04/23/JCJ - Improvement:
The Project Settings file and Playlists now reference I/P/T data names rather than index number.
(002) 01/04/23/MIW - Improvement:
The Stratigraphy Picker was displaying the location incorrectly when the Vertical Exaggeration was not equal to 1, now user can set VE to what they want to view.
(001) 01/03/23/JPR - Improvement:
The following changes have been made to the raster symbol selection menu;
NOTE: If you are using a NETWORK license, RockWorks20 v. 2022.5.28 and newer require the RockWare Network License Administrator version 1.17 or newer. Check with your license administrator before installing the RockWorks update.
