The most significant change is to the way FHC handles head codes.  When you start version 1.6.0 for the first time FHC will read your existing Heads Codes and create a new head code library file called ‘user.hcl' which will be located in a new ‘Library' folder.  This file will now be used for all existing FHC project you have stored and for all new projects you create. 

When you create a new FHC project file you will have access to all the head codes in the ‘user.hcl' file however when you save the project the heads codes will be saved with the project and therefore making the project file transportable.

If you open a FHC project file and go to the Project Data [Ctrl+P] ‘Head Codes' you will see that a number of you options have been added ‘Compact', ‘Save and ‘Load' the following is a short description of each:

‘Compact'           This will inspect the FHC project file and remove any unused head codes it will also renumber the remaining head codes starting at 1.

‘Save'                    With the save command you can create your own head code library files to use with any other project.  The command will save the head codes in the current FHC project file to an external file which will be stored in the ‘Library' folder.  You can name the file anything you like but if you overwrite the ‘user.hcl' file then this will be used for any new projects you create.    

‘Load'                    This command will allow you to read in an existing ‘Head Code Library File' which has been created with the ‘Save' Command above.  The heads codes loaded will be added to the existing head codes in the FHC project.

You will find a video tutorial bellow which will show you each of the new commands
