- Fixed Bounding problem.

- Added ability to shift/rotate catalog lens assemblies.
Fixed Optics Manager IGES problem where coatings command caused error.
Added ability to cancel out of modified INR file dialog when exiting ASAP. If a user modified an INR file in the editor and then proceeded to exit ASAP, then a dialog appears prompting the user to save the file with only a yes/no option. Customers wanted the option to cancel the save dialog and return to ASAP processing.
Fixed MEMG error.
Fixed output error in STATS command when using parallel processors.
Fixed History command.
Fixed output error in STATS command when using parallel processors.
Catalog Managers
Fixed bounding problem for lenses created from the Lenses Catalog Manager in the Optics Manager.
Fixed the wavelength units discrepancy in the Coating Catalog manager. In the initialization for the new Coating Manager dialog, the wavelength units are blank units, which then later defaulted to Meters. This has been changed to initialize with the value selected in the System Settings dialog for wavelength units. The user can change the default during an ASAP session to different wavelength units, but unless they also change it in System Settings, it will revert back to the System Settings value when ASAP is restarted.
