Example: setting Marquise price to 55% of Brilliant
with the same mass, color, and clarity, leaving prices
for all other cuts unchanged.
This example is similar to the previous one, but it
shows how to define price of different cuts more precisely.
We will modify Price.txt file in a way that will
give different prices for Brilliant (separate price
list), Pear (separate price list), Marquise (55% of
Brilliant), and all other cuts (50% of Brilliant in
the original file version). You can extend this approach
for other cuts, so that each one can have its own discount
relative to Brilliant or Pear.
Possible cuts names are Brilliant, Pear, Heart, Oval,
Marquise, Prince, Emerald, Radiant.
a) Open Price.txt file with a text editor of your choice
(e.g. Notepad).
b) Find line
Cut: Other
Make a copy of it along with the following lines
Magnify ...
Discount ...
Source ...
DiscountPerFluorescence
...
and place the copy after the original lines, adding
a blank line to divide cut types. You can use "Copy"
and "Paste" commands in your editor to make a copy.
c) Change "Other" in the copied lines by "Marquise"
and "0.5" magnify coefficient by "0.55" (it means 55%).
So, we appended the following lines to the file:
Cut: Marquise
Magnify:
0.55 DiscountPerCut:
N/A Source:
cut= Brilliant
DiscountPerFluorescence:
N/A
d) IMPORTANT! Find line
PriceList:
3
It sets the number of cut types processed separately
(Brilliant, Pear and Other cut types are supported initially).
As we add a new type, we should change this to
PriceList:
4
e) The next time we start DiamCalc, Marquise cut will
be priced at 55% of similar Brilliant diamonds.
