Bug Fixes

STEP File with Helical Geometry

In some cases, STEP files with helical geometry could take a very long time to import. This process has been sped up considerably.

STEP Files with empty "FILE_NAME" blocks fail to Import

Some STEP files may be missing specific metadata that causes a failure on import. This has been addressed.

Undo in Sketch Mode

Undo operation in Sketch Mode sometimes results in 'Object Reference' error.

Sketching Ribbon (Alibre Atom3D)

Some sketching tools do not remain selected in Ribbon when activated in Alibre Atom3D.

Chamfer Dimension #1

It is not possible to select second Reference Edge in the Chamfer Dimension tool in 2D Drawings when Hidden Edges combine with Visible Edges

Chamfer dimension #2

It is not possible to create a Chamfer Dimension when the selected reference axes do not terminate exactly on Target Edge, making it too restrictive.

Legacy Vault Opens Read-Only

Alibre Vault files may incorrectly open in Read-Only Mode when opened via 'File Open' dialog or via 'Drag and Drop'.

Drawing Tables in Sheet Templates

Drawing Tables associated with Sheet Templates do not get removed when replacing the Sheet Template
