Version 28.0.3

Shortcut Keys For All Commands in a Main Menu Item Are Disable After the Main Menu Item Is Clicked

Reinstated the correct version of AlibreScript in the installer

Files could have their recently modified timestamp updated when a file was open even though it was not edited.

An update to the Keyshot API was incorporated and Live Linking is works as expected.

Some path patterns might cause a crash.

In some cases Alibre Design can close but its process might remain. Starting Alibre Design again would result in multiple Alibre Design processes. Now, these orphaned processes are autodetected and killed when Alibre Design starts.

Custom Symbols can now be saved to and inserted from the Safe.

You can now migrate files to a Library instead of just to a Project.

Scheduled Backup creation should not need PDM Server Manager Console to be running. Also, added new button to the server console for manually configuring Scheduled Backups.

Clicking Cancel on the import dialog in a 3D workspace for a non-native file that is in PDM results in the file being locked for no reason. 

Hidden columns in PDM Browser would be shown if the active Project was switched, and in some other cases. 

Logic around unshelving a shelved file has been hardened. 

Hardened logic around versions and file caching when multiple users are working on the same assembly simultaneously.

Operations moved to a separate thread to avoid locking everything. Progress bar added to Restore. Restore can now be cancelled.

Recycle Bin deletion could take a very long time if many files existed in the Recycle Bin.

Properties on the main File interface are now not clickable. They were read only if using PDM, but it was confusing for them to be clickable because the read only status was not obvious.

A restored version now shows being checked in by the person who restored it. 

Added help button in the Clear cache dialog.

Where Used on a Locally modified Part present in an assembly threw an error.

Where Used is not showing the constituents correctly if the part or subassembly are checked in but main ASM is in New state

Right-clicking on the top-level safe node in PDM Browser allows you to remove a Safe and all its data from the local system.

Apply button in Restore Versions dialog is now disabled when the file is in Locally modified state. Previously it was enabled, but did not work.

Custom property with Integer Data type is not validated correctly when added to a Class definition.

Previously File Path fields would populate with very long strings with GUIDs. Now, they populate with a user-friendly PDM path.

PDM System Options are hard to read when Dark Mode was enabled.

Renaming items in PDM that have a space at the beginning or end of the name string could cause corruption.

Occasionally, some STEP files could not be opened from PDM.

Some issues renaming constituent components in PDM Browser while the parent assembly is open have been addressed.

Upon recovering an assembly file whose parts were not saved at the time of AD crash – editing the parts from the assembly could throw an error.

New Libraries or Projects can no longer be created when the server is offline. This mitigates several downstream issues.

MRU images from PDM files not retained when we toggle the "Recent files" eye button on Home Window when Alibre Design is re-launched.

Error was thrown when a constituent of an assembly opened by one user is moved to another location by another user.

Help button added to the Client Server Interface version incompatibility message box when restoring a Safe.

The default template selection mechanism has been updated to accommodate multi safe environments.

PDM Server Installer – 8099 Port Opening rule does not get created in a particular scenario

Parts with custom materials might show weird naming in PDM Browser if the materials aren't available locally.

Alibre Design and PDM Server about dialogs now contain information about compatibility with each other.

Safes that are inactive on the server will not be automatically backed up.

Fixed an issue where the user name comparison was failing when an email is used as login credentials in the PDM connect Safe dialog

PDM log file now captures more information.

Discrepancies seen when a deleted file or a folder is restored by the same user using a machine other than the one used for deleting the file/folder.

In a particular scenario of duplicate instance name validation in a Class, “Copy” gets appended to the instance name which is not desired.

A message is now shown when a license is invalid.

Browse behavior has been improved for dialogs that show have an open or save component, with the UI triggering off the System Options related to using PDM, File System, or Vault. This prevents a lot of annoying clicking.
