Solid names are displayed after applying Auto Note instead of Parts names. Boundary Volume by Surfaces It is possible to add the same surface many times in list in Boundary Volume by Surfaces dialog. An error occurs when selecting the same surfaces for Seed and Blocking sets in Boundary Volume by Surfaces. Canceling Boundary Volume by Surfaces before completing leaves the part translucent. CAD Views The Default CAD View causes the Show Cut Material check box to be out of sync. Severe slowdown switching Between Standard Views and CAD Views. Transparency is displayed incorrectly after applying Default CAD View. Color Palette Reset to Default button is enabled in Color Palettes dialog when there are no changes. Conversion Reset To Default button overlaps Convert button in Convert dialog after decreasing size of the dialog to minimum. Converted file could be replaced with the same file without a notification. Conversion process isn't removed from Task Manager after uncompleted conversion was removed from the list. 2D.3D read failure for CGM/TIFF files converted from SpinFire 8. Coordinate Systems Standard views with user defined coordinate systems are wrong. Standard View does not use current Coordinate System. Draft Angle Analysis Fields are filled with grey color while Draft Angle Analysis in progress in Dark theme. Viewer hangs after closing Draft Angle Analysis dialog when Analyze was made for a big model. Impossible to cancel Analyze of Draft Angle. Exploded Assemblies Unable to apply transformations on some files. Incorrect method name in combo box for Exploded Assembly. Close button is missing for Exploded Assembly dialog. Export CAD Crash occurs exporting a SolidWorks file that was loaded as the assembly tree only. Export to HSF does not work. Fix export of imported models. Exporting to STEP from an open "Shattered Assembly" file results in empty exported files. Import Document Error occurs when try to import ACT3D file with Bounding Box measurements. Occasionally two similar markups are imported instead of one. Importing.ACT3D does not import styles and markups. Import Inventor part attribute data. Importer Page When using Recursive Search Exchange does not use the current folder PMI does not respect color specified in settings. Incorrect loading only assembly tree when Importers Option Construction and References is Import and Show. Library Import and Add Document are available on the
Library context menu when a file is not selected. The copy context menu item is enabled when no file has been selected in library. Shift works as Ctrl in Library files list. Background of a pasted item is white instead gray in Library context menu in specific case. Changing themes more than two times causes library files to be not selectable. Licensing Cannot delete license server data. Markup Page An icon is missing in Markups tree for Surface Point to Circle Tangent Angle. Context menu for the root nodes in Markups tree does not work. Markups Markup comments can remain on the screen. Export of markups and notes is missing in 2D models. Markup label is bound to point of coordinate origin in Minimum Thickness measurement. Markup dialog boxes appear on wrong monitor. Notification is missing after exporting Markups or Notes when saved file have the same name as existed. File is overwritten without notification when Export Markups or Notes. Measurements The Surface point to Circle Tangent Angle Measurement ends abruptly after selecting an arc on a specific model. Incorrect highlighting of the first selected edge for Two Edges Angle measurement. Impossible to select a measurement using keyboard. Impossible to find the midpoint on line in 2D SolidWorks model in a specific case. Boundary Area: null pointer crash occurs. The edge of the previous measurement is highlighted instead of model edge for Two Edges Angle measurement. Minimum bounding box is not correct. Model Compare SFXI-3989 Tolerance is filled with grey color in Model Compare dialog when Type is Visual and the theme is Dark SFXI-4428 Models disappear after importing model with Model Compare user view SFXI-3987 Support of Palette Colors feature is missing for Model Compare SFXI-3980 No space between check box and label in Model Compare dialog when theme is Classic Open File ACT3D file fails to open with an empty 3D document.
