WinTOTAL Aurora (v5) – November 29, 2007 Update
Included in this update is the first release of DaVinci Desktop Standard, our new basic sketcher. We think you’ll be very pleased with DaVinci. It’s easy to use, to-the-point, and lets you get your sketch done quickly and accurately. To see a quick demonstration on how DaVinci works, get a hotkey card, attend a live webinar, see all the features, and get more information, visit http://www.alamode.com/products/Appraiser/DaVinci.

Sketching Improvements:

• Added the option for DaVinci to launch in 'Desktop' mode or 'Mobile' mode.
• Launching DaVinci from WinTOTAL and then closing it without making changes will no longer place a blank sketch page into your WinTOTAL report.
• Drawing certain areas with the unit of measure set to meters could cause an extra meter to be added to the total GLA transferred to WinTOTAL.  This has been corrected.
• Making a change to a previously saved sketch, then choosing not to save new changes now places the correct sketch image into your WinTOTAL report.
• Address information is now populated and viewable from inside DaVinci when creating or editing sketches for reports originating in WinTOTAL.
• The “Save As” option is now available when using DaVinci outside of WinTOTAL.
• When running DaVinci inside WinTOTAL, the import feature has been improved so that you are correctly prompted to overwrite existing sketches before importing.
• Importing a DaVinci sketch from an old report will no longer display a message about editing your Pocket sketch.

Comps Database: 

• The option to map comparables within a certain distance from the subject now works with the new Map Wizard.

AppraisalPort Delivery Plugin:

• Reports containing the new Wachovia Desktop Valuation [Ver 2.1 - 12/06] major form are set up to deliver to AppraisalPort.

DaVinci Support:

• Opening a DaVinci report in WinTOTAL now prompts if you'd like to “Replace” or “Add New” if the report already exists in the Appraisal Desktop. 
• Opening Rich Text Format (RTF) files from DaVinci reports will no longer cause WinTOTAL to close.
• When opening a DaVinci Report that contains FieldPad data in WinTOTAL, WinTOTAL will now create an image file of written FieldPad notes, a sound file if there are any recordings from FieldPad, and Fielddata.txt with the sketch and info about the property.  This will all be placed in the report’s Digital WorkFile.
• Subject and comp images from DaVinci reports will now transfer to the appropriate places in WinTOTAL.

• Rels Desktop Enhanced Review Form [11/07]
