- Brush
performance and stability has been improved when symmetry or cursor outline
is on.
- Some
Catia export cases performed slowly due to an issue with the creation of
loop of boundaries curves of trimmed surfaces. Improvements in loop creation
have increased performance.
- The Mesh
Curves->Mesh Intersect tool now correctly intersects the mesh with only the
trimmed (visible) portion of a trim surface. Previously the tool had been
intersecting the mesh with the entire (original) surface resulting in curves
that appeared to "run-off" the trim surface.
- Canvas
Layer editor thumbnail refreshes have been reduced when manipulating layer
attributes.
- Fixes a
crash on retrieval of a wire file while the Hotkey editor is opened.
-
QuicktimeVR output now works when the source input is a software render.
- All
Autodesk plug-ins installed from the Autodesk Exchange Store now appear in
the Plug-in Manager under a single heading ("Autodesk Exchange Apps")
instead of each plug-in appearing under its own heading.
- The new
2013 feature of window associations (i.e., Shift-snapping one window to
another) was not working for Categories, Color, or Shader windows. This has
been fixed. Those windows now can be associated with each other or other
windows.
-
Fixed a crash caused in the Reference Manager during the translation of a
file which contains a geometric shader.
- Fixes a
crash seen when declining a File->New with an active brush.
- Fixes a
problem where the NT browser becomes mixed up in the window ordering and
sometimes will disappear and reappear when the Alias window is selected
again.
- Exported
EDF files now hardware shade correctly in ICEM.
-
Reference objects are now drawn with the correct transparency value as
specified in the control panel, and overlapping objects are no longer always
drawn using a fully opaque transparency value.
- Fixes a
problem where the Reference Manager disappears when you select to view only
the File view.
This update should only be applied to systems
directly affected by the issue described above, as this was the only issue this
update was created to address.
