Selecting the queue file that NESTERserver is pointing to has changed.NESTERserver has a path to process jobs from and Queue Submit has apath for viewing jobs and submitting jobs:
Upgrading from NESTERserver 6.1.0 to 6.1.1 or a newinstallation both the NESTERserver and Queue Submit will
point to the same path C:\Program Files\Gerber Technology\NESTERserver\ Queue\ ultramrk.umq
Upgrading from 6.1.1 to a newer 6.1.1 will leave Queue Submitopen in last opened queue file, but NESTERserver will be resetto point to C:\Program Files\Gerber Technology \NESTERserver\Queue\ ultramrk.umq. Just RC on NESTERserver icon and SetQueue File to correct location.
Installation procedure has changed:The NESTERserver, NESTERpack and UltraQueue have been combinedinto one installation under NESTERserver.During installation there are 2
choices for Setup Type:
If the workstation being installed has NESTERserver thenselect the NESTERserver option.
If the workstation will only send jobs to the NESTERserverthen install Job Submission so just UltraQueue is loaded andnot the NESTERserver software.

Whats New for 8.0.5 UltraQueue
Improvements to UltraQueue
Added the ability to submit Sectional Markers to NESTERserver. The sections may be laid
by bundle or size.
SQL/MSDE Storage area support
Provided integration to NESTERpack. NESTERpack is an optional module that will optimize
the marker for better length and efficiency.
The ability to submit a partially made marker to NESTERserver.When sending a marker to NESTERserver, simply select the mode for nesting and then check
eitherFinish marker or Restart marker.
Finish markerwill maintain any place pieces in the marker and allow NESTERserver to
automatically nest the remaining pieces in the marker, maximizing utilization.Restart marker will unplace all pieces and nest all pieces automatically.

Implemented a marker name Filter and Start Date/End Date filter. The filter will be saved forthe next use ofNest Marker.
Added the Search on Storage Area selection check box. When checked the filter will apply
immediately to the selected storage area. When not checked, a marker lookup will not occur
until it is checked. This helps to save time by not reading an entire storage area of markers intothe lookup before it is needed.

Improvements to UltraQueue messages
A Warning message is placed in the Result field of UltraQueue, when a Stripe/Plaid Markeris made by NESTERserver. Although the marker is made, NESTERserver does not match
pieces, thus a warning is issued.
A Warning message is placed in the Result field of UltraQueue when a Bookfold Marker ismade by NESTERserver. The marker is made, but NESTERserver does not fold pieces in aBookfold, thus a warning is issued.
A Warning message is placed in the Result field of UltraQueue when a marker with unplacedpieces is packed by NESTERpack. NESTERpack does not place pieces. The marker is made,
but not all pieces are placed, thus a warning is issued.

The following restrictions apply: Combinations of Horizontal and vertical bump lines are supported as long as they dont
overlap.
NESTERpack does not recognize bump lines. Pack will move pieces on top of, or pastvertical bump lines..

Constructs
NESTERserver 6.0 will nest around constructs. The constructs must be placed into the markerbefore sending it to NESTERserver.
The following restrictions apply: The construct length must be determined prior to sending the marker to Nester. For
repeating constructs, the construct will not automatically grow or shrink depending uponthe markers length. NESTERserver treats the pre-placed construct as a pre-placed piece.
NESTERpack does not recognize constructs. If a construct marker is packed, pieces willoverlap the constructs.
