STEM 7.5a is fully compatible with models created with the original 7.5 release,
and includes the following updates.
Editor
- An obscure and apparently random crash in the Editor, sometimes but not always mentioning
an ‘invalid type’, has been diagnosed and fixed.
- Find and Replace suggests common text, if possible,
cf. Copy and Replace, and the algorithm for identifying
this common text has been slightly refined.
- The selection of icons is maintained after Find and Replace.
- Copy and Replace now works properly when copying
to a different model.
- Prompt only once for the Basis when creating requirements
(for a single resource) with drag-and-drop from a multiple selection of services
or transformations.
- Arrange Visible now respects the new
Requirement 2 and Input 2 link types.
- View names in the Editor are no longer limited to 31 characters.
- Less ‘flicker’ when opening a model with lots of Editor views.
- Facility to activate the File menu from any dialog
by pressing <Alt+F> re-instated with the latest Windows
10 update.
- <Ctrl+Shift+T> still creates new elements, even after cancelling a Find and Replace.
System
- Generated files are still retained even if a model has only been opened recently
(but not saved or run).
- A more recent .dtm file in the
Generated folder is now discarded if you manually replace a
.dtl file with an older version.
- A recovered, autosaved model now gets the correct relative path for a custom icon
file.
- Check for expiring soft-licence deferred until after loading command-line models.
- A run-time model created with D-STEM now only prompts once to accept end-user licence
terms when parallel-processing multiple scenarios.
- Bug fixed regarding eSTEM processing of a model name including the ‘.’
character.
- LTE example model no longer generates a replication
error with STEM 7.5a.
- Cable example model included with the 7.5a installer.
Results
- It is now optional whether collections should appear First,
Last, Inline or
By Type in the Elements,
Variants and Cost Breakdown tabs
when drawing a graph.
- Tornado charts working again when parameters are affected by template replication.
- The Cost Breakdown tab for results selection in
a model that uses template replication now works as originally intended, namely
that just resources are listed rather than resource/variant pairs when
Linear Selection is not active.
- The Cost Breakdown tab also now correctly handles
services as RHS elements when an intermediate service specifies
Value Chain = Cross Charge.
- Some bug fixes for graphs using the new Slice functionality
across either scenarios, after a dimension is added or removed, or template variants.
- The automatic stacked (column) format of a cost or revenue graph (aggregate result)
for several elements in the same scenario no longer incorrectly persists if Change Selections is used to show a demand result
(instantaneous, line format) instead.
- Copy Picture functionality restored for results
graphs and tables (including titles).
- The Current View and
All Views options now work properly when changing fonts on results graphs.
- Scenario results still up-to-date after modifying only the working model.
