Version 13.2.8

Thu, 13 Jun 2013 12:16:53 UTC

Fixes

SR39109 - PRINT: printing to a large paper size, with shademode '2dwireframe' and shadeplot 'Legacy Hidden', resulted in empty output or a crash.
SR39151 - PUBLISH: when printing using the PUBLISH command, plot stamps were not being included.
SR39173 - SELECTION: when the user attempted to select a printing area from the Page Setup dialog, the cursor was stuck and selection had to be done by clicking blindly in the drawing area.
SR40231 - PROPERTIES PANEL: BricsCAD crashed when changing a property of a selected entity with the property category collapsed in the properties panel. (x64 version only)
SR40255 - FILE OPEN: there was a problem opening dwg files containing hatches as anonymous blocks (regression since V13.2)

Version 13.2.7

Fri, 07 Jun 2013 12:06:24 UTC

Fixes

SR40167, SR40181, SR40193, SR40216 - FIELDS: the library required to evaluate fields was missing from the installer in V13.2.5 and V13.2.6.

Version 13.2.6

Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:43:54 UTC

Improvements

LICENSE: it was not possible to specify a license with the 64 bit msi. Now you can specify the msi property BRXLICENSE on the command line: msiexec /i "BricsCAD-13.2.6-en_US(x64).msi" BRXLICENSE=LICENSE_KEY_OR_NETWORK_LICENSE_FILE_PATH and it will install the license key or network license.

Fixes

DIMENSIONS: dimension lines got drawn in an incorrect position.
DRAWING PREVIEW: the file dialog did not draw a preview if the drawing didn't have a thumbnail image.
SR39861 - ATTSYNC: ATTSYNC did not allow to append new attribute definitions to a block.
SR39890 - XREFS: nested Xrefs were not displayed in "Detail View" and "Icon View" once the level of nesting was 3 or more.
SR40097, SR40100, SR40130, SR40142 - CRASH: loading a drawing with splines caused BricsCAD to crash.

Version 13.1.22

Mon, 18 Mar 2013 10:10:48 UTC

Improvements

CHAPOO: Added several improvements and new features to the chapoo integration, including:
- dependent files (xrefs, fonts,..) are automatically uploaded with the parent drawing to Chapoo
- these dependent files are linked to the parent drawing in Chapoo
- when downloading the parent drawing, the dependent files are automatically downloaded as well
- Chapoo Premium support: browse projects and folders

Fixes

SR33188, SR36361 - MENU: when the Window menu was first removed and then added again with menucmd, the drawing window list section was not added again.
SR37212, SR37465, SR38466, SR38835, SR38939 - AEC/ADT OBJECTS:
- fixed instabilities and crashes when loading drawings containing many AEC/ADT objects.
- added support for AutoCAD 2013 AEC/ADT objects.
SR37521 - MLINE: implemented the commandline justification and style options.
SR38025 - CHAMFER/FILLET: chamfer/fillet was not applied at the desired location, when using it on two entities that were not lying in the XY-plane of the current UCS.
SR38111 - PAPERSHEET: when PAPERUPDATE was off, changing the active printer did not update paper margins.
SR38335 - USER INPUT PROCESSING: When entering a value in a dynamic dimension, and then pressing tab, the dimension input field is now immediately displayed with a red background to reflect the fact that the value is locked, without having to move the mouse.
SR38471 - FONTS: there were compatibility issues with LAS files containing Chinese fonts.
SR38756 - EXTEND: the extend command did no longer work for nested entities in blocks.
SR38858 - USER INPUT PROCESSING: When entering a distance on the keyboard while a tracking line is active, pressing enter does no longer remove the tracking line. Another distance can be entered without having to move the mouse.
SR38968 - HANGUP:
- PASTECLIP of a string starting with spaces caused an endless loop of PASTECLIP operations.
- when doubleclicking GRID/SNAP on the statusbar, the command names ended up on the clipboard.
SR38977 - LAYER: improved the warning message shown when creating a new layer that doesn't match the current layer filter.
SR39049 - WBLOCK: using the WBLOCK command, .dwg was undesirably appended to the filename, if the existing dwg file, had a .DWG extension (or similar spelling) other than .dwg.
SR39055 - DISPLAY: a background mask was added to prevent displaying of overlapping text when editing table cells.
SR39058 - TOOLPALLETES: there was a problem undoing commands that have been interrupted with the ESC key.
SR39078 - CSV EXPORT SETTINGS: The settings of BricsCAD can be exported to a CSV file (Comma Separated Value). BricsCAD did not process quotes in any way when exporting settings to CSV. As a result default CSV importing did not work in MS Office or LibreOffice. From now on, if a special character is encountered, the entire field will be quoted and qoutes will be escaped by doubling them.
SR39082 - LOCALIZATION: messages being displayed in the FILLET/CHAMFER commands user interface were not translated.
SR39154 - LOCALIZATION: the 'Next' button in the startup dialog had 2 different labels in translated versions.

Applications

SR37909 - LISP/SDS/BRX : fixes a problem using (entmake) resp. sds_entmake()/acdbEntMake() when creating INSERT objects - the handling of DXF codes 70, 71, 44, 45 was not AutoCAD-compatible, so thus sometimes MINSERT objects, that are not explodable, were created.
SR38874 - LISP: fixes a problem with (getvar "varname") for non-existing "varname" - under intensive workload, (getvar) could return erratic values instead of NIL.
SR39057 - LISP: fixes a problem with (vlax-ldata-put/get) functions - real/double values written as LData were sometimes read as integers.

Version 13.1.20

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:37:49 UTC

Improvements

PLOT: plot configuration (pc3) and plot style (ctb, stb) files are also being searched in the current drawing's directory (stored in the DWGPREFIX system variable), in addition to the paths stored in the PlotCfgPath and PlotStylePath settings.
PURGE: improved compatibility.
QSELECT: added the QSELECT command, which opens the Properties Bar in 'quick select' mode.
UCS ALIGNMENT: mtext entities can now be used to align a ucs with.
SR35221, SR38563 - MATCHPROP: improved the copying of hatch properties in case the source hatch pattern definition was not found.
SR38481 - MATCHPROP: added the copying of viewport properties in the MATCHPROP command.

Fixes

FIND: values of \p and \F mtext formatting codes were not omitted during text search.
HATCH: a generated hatch object ignored the ELEVATION system variable.
SR35354 - PRINT: the dimensions of the paper background display were undesirably truncated, e.g. for Letter format, 215 x 279 mm was used instead of 215.9 x 279.4 mm.
SR36473 - PROPERTY PANEL: when selecting a normal block, after having selected a custom block, the normal block type did not get displayed correctly in the Property Panel type combobox.
SR36568 - PROPERTIES BAR: entities on 'off' layers are no longer removed from the selection set after one of their properties is changed.
SR36568 - QUICK SELECT: entities on 'frozen' layers are ignored for quick select. (They can no longer be included in the selection set, and thus can no longer be edited.)
SR36885 - FILLET: using FILLET on a C-shaped polyline produced an incorrect result.
SR37227 - TEXT DISPLAY: the length of double-byte characters contained in proxy entities was wrong.
SR37477 - HATCH DIALOG: when using surveyor units, the angles displayed in the Angle selection combo was incorrect.
SR38222 - TOOLPALETTES: there was a failure to insert a block or hatch, when the layer or linetype property of the toolpalette item was already present in the drawing with a different case.
SR38540 - PUBLISH: changes made since the last time a drawing had been saved, or changes made in new drawings, were not taken into account when publishing.
SR38686 - COMPATIBILITY: AutoCAD failed to open some drawings that were saved as dwg 2004 in BricsCAD V13.
SR38692 - FONT: there was an incorrect MBCS-to-Unicode conversion in old drawings with an inconsistent DWGCODEPAGE.
SR38745 - MTEXT: mtext objects that have invalid right-to-left or bottom-to-top flow directions could not be edited. Now they can be edited, and the flow direction is fixed after the edit.
SR38782, SR38867, SR38877, SR38898 - QLEADER:
- when copying a leader with it's corresponding mtext, the association was not copied along.
- copying an mtext, that was detached from a leader, caused BricsCAD to crash.
SR38842 - SPELL: mtext formatting code values except \F, \f, \A and \a were considered as normal text contents and thus suggested for replacement.
SR38825 - HANGUP: display of filled polygons with lineweight caused a GDI resource leak, which resulted in BricsCAD hanging when running out of GDI resources.
SR38869 - DISPLAY: depending on the zoom status, entities with non-default lineweight could be displayed using the wrong color, and lines could disappear when selected.
SR38880 - MLINE: added scale options for the MLINE command. It now uses the CMLSCALE system variable as defined in the settings.
SR38924 - AREA COMMAND: when an entity with 0 area was picked (i.e. colinear, closed polyline), the included area was correctly printed as "0.0", but the systemvariable AREA was not set (and kept the previous value).

Applications

LISP : improved the (setvar) function. If the given system variable does not exist, an error is triggered and Lisp execution stops. This provides feedback to developers about incorrect code (instead of being silently tolerated).
SR37792 - BRX: AcDbHostApplicationServices::setWorkingDatabase behavior was not correct when the working database was set differently from the current document's database.
SR26525 - BRX: implemented the function AcDbEntity::dragStatus.
SR31255 - COM: the zoom area in the COM method "zoomCenter" was incorrectly calculated, resulting in a wrong display.
SR34121 - LISP: a problem existed with the scope of same-named local variables, used by different functions, with the variables being local functions themselves. Under these conditions, a previous function definition was not correctly restored, when a called function returned to the caller (such Lisp code design is mainly used by OpenDCL).
SR35303 - BRX: implemented the function AcEdCommandStack::popGroupToTop(const ACHAR*).
SR37316, SR38290, SR38527 - BRX: since TD3.06, a crash occurred in OdGsBaseModel::addNode().
SR38565 - BRX: IDynamicProperty::IsPropertyEnabled is no longer called with NULL as second argument.
SR38812 - LISP: in rare cases, if large drawings were opened by BricsCAD commandline (i.e. doubleclick in Windows Explorer, or Drag & Drop of dwg file to BricsCAD desktop icon), the LISP engine failed to initialise due to insufficient memory.
SR38940 - LISP/COM: corrected the put/get "Rotation" property for MText objects: the rotation angle is always treated as relative to the current CoordinateSystem.
SR38933 - LISP: added support for storing Lisp symbols with (vlax-ldata-put/get).
SR38940 - COM: corrected the "addMText" method and put/get "Rotation" property for MText objects:
- MText is always created with a 0 degree rotation relative to the current UserCoordinateSystem.
- the get/put rotation angle is also relative to the current UserCoordinateSystem.

Version 13.1.18

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 10:24:22 UTC

New

PROPERTIES BAR: the length, area and volume values of multiple selected entities are now added up, instead of showing 'Varies'.

Improvements

CONSTRAINTBAR: entities can now be pre-selected for the CONSTRAINTBAR command.
PDFEXPORT: increased the default image resolution for pdf export from 72 dpi to 300 dpi.
DRAG & DROP: after Drag & Drop operations into the BricsCAD window, BricsCAD now becomes the active foreground window, so keyboard and mouse input goes to BricsCAD. This avoids the need for an extra click in the BricsCAD window to make it active.
SR36628, SR37190, SR38063 - PLOT STAMP DIALOG: the font style and size of plot stamps can now be configured.
SR36960, SR38255 - POLARANG: to provide better compatibility, POLARANG is no longer restricted to 0-90 degrees range. Please note that input via LISP/SDS/BRX is in radians, while the commandline input is in degrees.

Fixes

ALIGN: temporary lines were not removed after the ALIGN command was finished.
TABLES: it was not possible to delete the top row of a table.
SR35629 - PEDIT: didn't copy xdata from a input object to a polyline if PLINETYPE > 0.
SR36300 - CHAMFER: didn't work properly for lines when distance A and distance B were 0.0 and TRIM was ON.
SR36553 - PROPERTIES BAR: iterating over vertices by pressing the Next/Previous arrow buttons did no longer work. Entering vertex numbers was fixed as well, the sequence of figures had been inverted, e.g. when typing 21, 12 was displayed in the field (regressions since V12.2)
SR36583 - SECTION PLANES: the SECTIONPLANETOBLOCK command ignored the content of block references.
SR36832 - MIRROR: while the dynamics displayed for mirrored MINSERT objects were correct, they ended up at an incorrect location after the operation was confirmed.
SR37223 - OFFSET: corrected the OFFSET command, so it supports to use preselected entities (pickfirst).
SR37236 - PRINTING: viewports with "Rendered" shadeplot are now printed using the High Quality visual style.
SR37285, SR38134 - MEMORY USAGE: avoided big memory usage by ACIS facet cache, which could exhaust memory and finally lead to crashes.
SR37339 - PDF EXPORT: for some RGBA raster images, transparent areas were shown as black.
SR37866 - DISPLAY: an "Invalid Index" message appeared and a crash occurred while displaying a solid hatch contained in a user-provided drawing.
SR38088 - PRINTING: a proxy entity displaying a leader arrow got displayed and printed with a different line width.
SR38095 - ORTHO/POLAR: pressing F8 (Ortho) failed to disable Polar mode, while pressing F10 (Polar) failed to disable ortho mode.
SR38196 - QLEADER: the DIMLDRBLK User Arrow undesirably was reset after the first apply.
SR38229 - DRAWING EXPLORER, DIMENSIONS: negative values are no longer accepted for:
- DIMDLE (Dim line ext)
- DIMASZ (Arrow size)
- DIMDLI (Dim baseline spacing)
- DIMEXE (Ext line ext)
- DIMEXO (Ext line offset)
- DIMSCALE (Dim scale overall)
- DIMRND (Dim round)
For DIMJOGANG, angles smaller than 5 or greater than 90 are no longer accepted. Accepting these values caused instability and could lead to a crash.
SR38248 - FILELOAD: fixed loading of a malformed dxf file.
SR38256 - PRINTING: objects disappeared when printing if all following conditions were true:
- printing from paperspace, with landscape orientation.
- the viewport is rendered (e.g. Modeling, Realistic, Hiqh Quality, etc. visual styles).
- the viewport uses perspective mode.
SR38262 - CUI: DDEDIT and EATTEDIT didn't correctly select an Attribute/XRef when the commands were called with a customized double-click action.
SR38264 - DRAWING EXPLORER, LAYERS: in model space, when you clicked an icon in the 'New VP' column, an error message appeared: 'This property can only be set if Tilemode is off'. Now it is possible to change the 'New VP' field in model space as well.
SR38286 - REFEDIT: a crash occurred when displaying a block reference after ref-editing an insert with nested inserts.
SR38311 - PROGRAM INITIALIZATION: the APPDATA setting on some windows terminal server configurations could not be found. BricsCAD now searches in Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\User Shell Folders instead of Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders.
SR38315 - POLAR ARRAY: there was a precision issue when picking/entering the center/base point for a polar array: instead of using all digits entered, values were rounded according to the LUPREC precision value.
SR38330 - PRINT: geometry was incorrectly clipped when using non-rectangular viewport boundaries.
SR38336 - FILELOAD: fixed a crash that occurred when loading drawings containing ACIS entities with SAT data strings longer than 256 bytes.
SR38362 - TRIM: did not work for non-associative hatches.
SR38363 - BACKGROUND: removing a background image by activating a view without a background in the View Explorer didn't work. Note: this only affects rendered mode; background images are not suppported in non-rendered modes.
SR38379 - SHEETSETS: it was not possible to create a new sheetset using an existing one, when the DefaultNewSheetTemplate setting was empty.
SR38393, SR38444 - PRINTING: under- and overlines of text were printed incorrectly (regression since introduction of TTFASTEXT setting in V13).
SR38394 - SNAP: entity snap "INSERTION" for attribute (ATTRIB) and attribute definition (ATTDEF) objects did not work properly.
SR38428 - ATTRIBUTES: invisible attributes of MINSERT blocks were mistakenly displayed as a visible attribute (with ATTMODE=1). Regression introduced in V13.1.15.
SR38451 - CONCURRENT SESSIONS: there was a problem opening drawings by double-clicking them when several BricsCAD instances were running.
SR38530 - FONTS: added missing characters to the isocp.shx font to match the industry's standard set of symbols.
SR38556 - COPY/PASTE: a crash occurred when copy/pasting contents of a drawing containing a corrupt rigid constraint definition.
SR38570 - ISOLINES, ATTMODE: after changing these system variables, a regeneration was missing.

Applications

SR19981 - LISP/SDS/BRX: the DXF 73 groupcode for ATTRIB objects was missing, now it is contained in (entget) resp. adbEntGet() result lists.
SR36051, SR38543 - DCL: added BricsCAD-only dcl attributes bcad_width, bcad_height. When specified, they are used instead of width, height. This allows small cosmetic BricsCAD-only deviations.
SR36422 - BRX: when AcStatusBarItem::SetToolTipText() was called before AcApStatusBar::>Add(pItem) a memory access violation occurred. Same for derived classes AcTrayItem + AcPane.
SR37404 - LISP: the render fix included in V13.1.15 had been reverted in V13.1.16, and has now been reimplemented.
SR38028 - LISP: the Lisp file(s) loaded by (vl-load-all) were not loaded into already opened drawings, when those were activated.
SR38073 - LISP: significant performance improvements for (vlax-ldata-get) and (vlax-ldata-put) functions, especially with large and/or more complex data.
SR38205 - LISP: command DDVPOINT, when invoked by application code, like (command "_ddvpoint"), now always opens the dialog and no longer uses the commandline version. The commandline version is to be called with (command "_vpoint).
SR38385 - LISP:
- when loading a drawing containing persistent reactors, if an associated entity was erased, the Lisp reactor callback function could sometimes refer to a wrong object instead of the erased one.
- performance improvements for (vlax-ename->vla-object) by around 30%.
SR38391 - LISP: command ATTEDIT now properly works when invoked by application code, like (command "attedit") or by a script - in this case, the entity selection uses a single pass only.
SR38407 - LISP: if the execution of (command) fails, the "ERRNO" system variable now indicates the error with additional values:
- -1: an unspecific exception happened
- -2: an unspecific error happened
- -3: (command) sequence was cancelled
- -10: other unspecific error
SR38439 - LISP: (setvar) could cause a memory access violation, when it was called recursively (nested), i.e. from reactors.
SR38439 - LISP/COM: added a check at BricsCAD startup to verify correctness of BricsCAD's COM interface - if broken, an alert message is shown with how to solve it.
SR38441 - LISP: added functions (align), (mirror3d) and (rotate3d).
SR38593 - LISP: when (vlr-object-reactor) was used to add a reactor to an object, the object could immediately receive events, while it should only get events starting from the next modification cycle.
SR38605 - LISP/SDS/BRX : using (entmod), sds_entmod() or acdbEntMod() and groupcode DXF 60 to control the visibility of a Region or 3dSolid failed, because the DXF 60 groupcode was added at the end of the data list.

Version 13.1.16

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 10:05:45 UTC

Improvements

FIND: the Ctrl-F keyboard shortcut has been reassigned to trigger FIND instead of formerly -OSNAP _T . The F3 function key remains available to trigger -OSNAP _T .
-LAYER: added the option 'stAte', for creating, editing, renaming, restoring, deleting, importing and exporting layer states.
PLINE, 3DPOLY: these commands now show a non-segmented polyline entity without artefacts. The memory usage has been reduced as well.
RENDER: responsiveness while working in High Quality shade mode has been improved by temporarily reducing the display quality during operations.
SR37325 - SPLINES: the performance of DIVIDE and MEASURE commands for splines has been improved by a factor 30.
SR37862 - CUI: the number of allowed client context menu entries has been increased to 23000.
SR38015 - SPLINES: the performance for offsetting splines has been improved by a factor 10.

Fixes

BMHIDE, BMSHOW, BMVSTYLE: edges and faces were present in the selection Tab-cycle in spite of the fact that commands are applicable only for entire components
LAYER FILTER: the filters for Xrefs and Viewport Overrides were not listed in the Layer Filter combo control.
LOCALIZATION: True/False values for the Visible property were not translated in the Mechanical Browser (now replaced with Yes/No).
VISUAL STYLE EXPLORER: predefined visual styles were no longer marked with a different color.
VISUAL STYLE EXPLORER: in translated versions, the current item marker was not shown when the 'Current' column of a predefined Visual Style was clicked.
REFEDIT: when a block with constraints was REFEDITed, followed by a discard of changes, a subsequent attempt to REFEDIT and discard the changes failed.
SR31497 - COPY/PASTE: when copy/pasting blocks between drawings, the INSUNITS variable was correctly applied when setting the Unitfactor of the pasted block, but the Scale value of the pasted block was undesirably manipulated so it neutralized the effect of the Unitfactor value. The same problem occurred when inserting blocks from the Block Explorer dialog in case the Align option was used.
SR35091 - DISPLAY: TEXT and INSERT entities that were moved, disappeared after moving, in case the original location was out of view when they were placed at the new location.
SR37451 - VIEWS: the command '-view' 'window' incorrectly asked for a Viewport to select, instead of asking for the name of the view.
SR37452 - SNAP: grip point snapped to other grip points during grip-editing, sometimes had different coordinates.
SR37459 - LOCALIZATION: translated prompt menu strings of BMBOM/BMINSERT commands were ignored in some localized BricsCAD versions.
SR37531, SR37855 - DIALOG: the Open/Save file dialog could be off-screen. (follow-up to improve previous fix)
SR37853 - SPLINES: the length of a spline that had negative knots was displayed as zero.
SR37910 - OLE: copying/pasting from Open Office Calc to BricsCAD added a point instead of a viewable OLE object.
SR37938 - XREF: when a nested Xref with the same name as a block was added in the same drawing, only the path to the Xref was displayed. This is not longer possible, and will prompt an error message.
SR38080 - FILLET: failed for user-provided example.
SR38112 - BLOCKS: both the Drawing Explorer and the BLOCK command accepted block names (and other symbol table names) that included a double quote character ("). Such names should not be accepted, as they will cause problems later on. Also, the list of prohibited characters shown in error messages, was not the same for each message, and not always correct.
SR38127, SR38128, SR38131 - MBUTTONPAN: panning did not work when MBUTTONPAN==1 and CTRLMOUSE==0.
SR38149 - CONSTRAINTS: executing a command on a drawing that contained corrupted constraints caused BricsCAD to crash.
SR38165 - RENDER: in some cases the render background was missing from the rendered result.
SR38186 - PRINTING: failed when all the viewports in paper space were off (regression introduced in 13.1.15)
SR38262 - DOUBLE CLICK ACTION: when double-clicking an attribute, instead of being selected in the editor, the first item in the attribute list was selected.(regression introduced in 13.1.15)

Applications

LISP: new VLE functions
- (vle-dictobjname dictename dictitem) returns the entity name of 'itemname' in dictionary 'dictename', if present, or NIL.
- (vle-dictsearch dictename dictitem) returns T if dictionary 'dictename' contains 'itemname', or NIL.
- (vle-tblsearch tblname tblitem) returns T if table 'tblnamename' contains 'tblitem', or NIL.
LISP, SDS, BRX: fixed ssget ":N" functionality for both wireframe and shaded modes to select entities in nested solids, which was not happening earlier. So now, solids and block references (leaving out edges & faces) will get selected.
SR38073 - LISP: improved the performance when saving (vlax-ldata) objects.
SR38195 - LISP: a crash occurred when calling ENTMAKE in a user-provided join routine written in lisp.

Version 13.1.15

Fri, 28 Dec 2012 08:07:45 UTC

Improvements

ASSEMBLY DESIGN:
- BMVSTYLE: extended the set of available visual styles in the command prompt.
- BMXCONVERT: upon conversion of xsolid standard parts to blocks, instead of creating the block content using its original layer, it is now placed on layer 0, which is better integrated with the built-in dwg behavior that allows block content placed on layer 0 to assume the properties of the layer on which the block is inserted.
CHAPOO:
- added the 'ChapooLogVerbose' preference.
- after login from Drawing Explorer, instead of hiding the Chapoo button, its label is replaced with 'Chapoo Logoff'.
- removed an unnecessary warning dialog ("No drawings in account").
- removed an error message that was shown in some cases when the Chapoo folder was empty.
- on upload, check if the drawing has dependencies, if so, they can be uploaded with the drawing, and a DocumentLink will be created on Chapoo.
- added ChapooUploadDependencies preference to decide what to do with dependencies.
- DRAWING EXPLORER: check if the drawing has DocumentLinks, if so, they can be downloaded with the drawing (they will be placed in the same folder as the drawing).
- DRAWING EXPLORER: no connection with the Chapoo server is made until the Folders tab is selected.
DIRECT MODELING: the delay, that occurs when using dmPushPull on a 2D contour that is near a complex solid, has been reduced.
MECHANICAL: added the bmVStyle command to the 'Mechanical Visualization' toolbar and menu.
MECHANICAL BROWSER:
- components visual styles are now available from the context menu and properties.
- improved the performance of the tree update.
SR15387, SR36391:
- DRAWING EXPLORER - DIMSTYLES:
  - added help text tooltips.
  - added DIMTSZ, DIMBLK, DIMSAH, DIMTVP settings (removed special processing of DIMBLK1 and DIMBLK2)
- PROPERTIES PANEL: added DIMTSZ (Tick Size) for linear and angular dimensions.
SR35536 - DRAWING EXPLORER: now restores sort column and sort mode (ascending/descending) each time it is reopened (but not between sessions).
SR36977 - SNAPPING: during grip editing of line and polyline entities, additional tangent and perpendicular snaps to other entities are available now.
SR37381 - LAYER: improved the performance for deleting layer filters.
SR37773 - DRAWING EXPLORER: added the EXPFOLDERS command to open the Drawing Explorer on the Folders tab.

Fixes

ASSEMBLY DESIGN:
- drawings containing a bill of materials table were not correctly opened in BricsCAD Classic.
- BMDISSOLVE: assembly 3D constraints were not always correctly maintained by the command.
- BMFORM, BMDISSOLVE: selection by window was not supported.
CHAPOO:
- there was a problem connecting with my.chapoo.com
- connection failed when 'ChapooServer' preference was not terminated with trailing slash character.
- files of which the name contained non-ascii characters could not be displayed or uploaded.
- SR37918: 'New Folder' on Chapoo account didn't work.
- SR37919: files of which the name contained spaces could not be uploaded.
DRAGSNAP: the command was not available.
DUAL MONITORS: when using an external display, dockable dialogs like the Properties Bar, Command Line window and Toolpalettes could be off-screen after switching from 'Extend these displays' to 'Show desktop only on 1', or after the external display had been disconnected. Now, when BricsCAD starts up, and a dockable dialog's position is off-screen, the dialog is moved to a default position. (So 'lost' dialogs can be retrieved by restarting BricsCAD).
FONT: parts of the text in the polar array dialog were invisible when not using a small font.
MECHANICAL BROWSER: the assembly tree was not always updated after modifying the model.
SR33273, SR37714 - DISPLAY: some entities with non-zero elevation were not displayed on models containing entities with huge, improper coordinates.
SR35114 - DRAWING EXPLORER: on Windows XP the folders and files in the Folders tree were not sorted alphabetically.
SR36065 - MTEXT: part of an MText bounding box was not filled with the background mask.
SR36818 - LAYER FILTERS: drawings containing invalid layer filter definitions triggered an exception and caused a crash. The code was made more robust to gracefully handle this type of drawing corruption
SR37009, SR37531, SR37855 - DIALOG: the Open/Save file dialog could be off-screen.
SR37404 - RENDER: running the render command from within a paperspace viewport is now supported.
SR37539 - DUAL MONITORS: when using dual monitors, after moving the Drawing explorer to the second screen, closing and reopening it, it was displayed on the first screen.
SR37562 - BLOCKS: annotation blocks that had the flag "Match orientation to layout" were displayed in the wrong position.
SR37727 - XREF:
- removing an xref A, that had a nested xref B, caused an unload of xref B, even if B was referenced directly in the same parent drawing.
- using the '-XREF' 'Path' command option, a relative path was not recognized.
SR37727,SR37807 - DRAWING EXPLORER: an xref belonging to paper space was not displayed in the xref list till actually switching to paper space.
SR37814 - SHORTCUTS: it was not possible to assign shortcuts to Ctrl+MiddleMouseButton.
SR37859 - PROPERTIES PANEL: the open/closed status of a property list was not remembered.
SR37883 - CUI:

SR37970 - HELP: clicking 'help' when customizing toolpalettes didn't do anything.
SR37983 - DRAWING EXPLORER, FOLDERS: when 'Blocks' is selected in the tree, the block info shown in the Block Explorer should not be editable: 'Rename' is now disabled in menu and context menu, and editing with F2 is disabled as well.
SR37949: a custom command that uses (command pause) or '\' in the menu macro, could not be interrupted by launching another command or trying to quit the application. It could only be stopped by pressing the Escape key.
SR37965 - LEADER/QLEADER: there was a delay when creating leaders in large dwg.
SR37976, SR37111 - SHX FONTS: after applying a fix for SR37111 in V13.1.10, .SHX files using the 'shape' specifier in their header, were no longer accepted as fonts. The filtering system has been adjusted to be less strict.
SR38004 - OPEN: a drawing containing a proxy of AeccDbAssocAction could not be loaded due to an exception in the 2d constraints glyph manager.

Applications

BRX: re-enabled the BRX function AcDbObject::cancel().
SR25254 - BRX: AcEdUIContext: icons in context menus are supported now.
SR34077 - BRX: negative GS Markers can now be used in acedSSNameEx.
SR37404 - LISP: after running (command "-render" "viewport") the render output no longer disappears immediately, it remains visible till an action triggers a display update.
SR37922 - LISP : using (read-char) on a binary file could fail after reading 0x0A character, if not followed by 0x0D character.
SR38010 - LISP : using "Lisp Optimiser" - (progn item) with a single item could cause a load failure, if the 'item' was an atom, not an expression or list.

Version 13.1.12

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 13:12:31 UTC

Important note

V13 is not binary compatible with V12. API's have changed and V13 is built using MSVC2010 instead of MSVC2005.
Most 3rd party applications/tools, except scripts and applications written in Lisp, will need to be rebuilt by their manufacturer in order to run on V13.
This also implies that Windows XP users have to make sure to use Service Pack 3 or higher.

New

ASSEMBLY MODELING: Mechanical components can now be inserted by dragging them from Windows Explorer and dropping them in the active document.
DISPLAY: implemented gradient hatch display for rendered mode.

SR22177, SR35774 - MATCHPROP : added a 'Match Properties' settings dialog, allowing to select which properties should be copied.

DRAGSNAP: system variable to control the snap behavior while 'dragging', providing an increased WYSIWIG experience. DRAGSNAP controls whether rubberband dynamics are displayed at the current cursor location or at the current snap location.
If DRAGSNAP is 0, dragged entities will be displayed at the cursor location, this is the default behavior.
If DRAGSNAP is 1, dragged entities will be displayed at the current snap location.
Example: assume endpoint snap is active and you draw a circle. When moving the cursor in the proximity of a line, an endpoint snap marker will appear on the line. With DRAGSNAP 0 (Off), the rubberband circle will not be influenced and it's diameter will be driven by the cursor location. With DRAGSNAP 1 (On), the rubberband circle will change diameter to fit the snapped endpoint, providing WYSIWIG behavior: if you would click at the current cursor location, this snapped rubberband circle would be what you would actually get.

MCAD ASSEMBLY MODELING - (Platinum version only):
- Uses .dwg files organized in hierarchical structures of mechanical components to model complex products. Example projects are provided in the \Samples\Mechanical folder.
- Standard X-Hardware parts (screws, nuts, bearings, ...) can be used as mechanical components.
- MECHANICAL BROWSER: browse the component hierarchy.
- BILL OF MATERIALS: list top-level or bottom-level mechanical components used in a drawing.
- ASSEMBLY CONSTRAINTS: apply 3D constraints between faces and edges of different mechanical components.
- KINEMATIC ANALYSIS: use DmMove and DmRotate commands for real-time solving of forward and inverse kinematic problems.
- Assembly Modeling commands:
  - BmBrowser: toggle the visibility of the Mechanical Browser
  - BmUpdate: update the hierarchy of mechanical components for the current drawing
  - BmNew: create a new mechanical component as a new drawing document
  - BmInsert: insert an existing mechanical component into the current drawing
  - BmForm: form a new mechanical component and insert it into the current drawing
  - BmDissolve: dissolve a mechanical component inserted into the current drawing
  - BmMech: convert the current drawing into a mechanical component
  - BmUnmech: convert the current mechanical component into a plain drawing
  - BmHardware: insert a standard hardware part as a mechanical component

2D CONSTRAINTS: EXPRESSIONS can now be used to define 2DCONSTRAINT dimensions. CLEANUNUSEDVARIABLES command purges variables not used in constraint expressions and not linked to dimensions.
3D CONSTRAINTS:
- Constraints can now be imposed between sub-entities of block references.
- Constraints are now maintained on COPY/COPYCLIP/PASTECLIP/BLOCK/INSERT/EXPLODE/WBLOCK commands.
- DMANGLE3D: the axis for 3D angle constraints can now be chosen (automatically or manually), allowing to change the angle parameter over 180 degrees.
ARRAY dialog: offers control and feedback for the various array command settings.
ATTRIBUTES:
- ATTREDEF: command for redefining attributes of existing blocks.
- ATTSYNC: command for synchronizing attributes of block inserts whose attribute definitions were modified.
- BATTMAN: dialog for managing attribute definitions of existing blocks.
- Added support for Locked position and Multiline properties of attribute entities.
AUTOCOMPLETE: command line auto completion.
CHAPOO has been integrated into BricsCAD. CHAPOO allows to upload, share, view, annotate drawings and documents. Chapoo will become functional when the servers become available online.
- Commands: CHAPOOOPEN, CHAPOOACCOUNT, CHAPOOLOGON, CHAPOOLOGOFF, CHAPOOHOME.
DIMREASSOCIATE: command for (re)associating dimensions to existing entities.
DIRECT MODELING:
- DMMOVE/DMROTATE commands can now be applied to block references.
- DMREVOLVE/DMEXTRUDE: can now be applied to faces of solids.
- DMROTATE/DMREVOLVE: cylinders and other axial surfaces can now be used as rotation axis.
- DMSELECTEDGES: Quad command for faster 3d solid edges selection.
DOCKPRIORITY:
- system variable to configure the priority of the docking areas in the BricsCAD application window.
- The priority sequence used to be hardcoded: Top > Bottom > Left > Right.
  Now it was made configurable and the new default is Top > Left > Right > Bottom.
  When e.g. docking the Properties Bar at the right and docking the command line contol at the bottom, the command line will no longer claim the full width but instead give way to the Properties Bar to extend to the bottom.
DYNAMIC UCS: dynamically align the UCS with faces of 3D solids when hovering over these faces during execution of commands.
- UCSDETECT system variable controls activation of dynamic UCS detection.
- Press the F6 key or click the DUCS field on the status bar to toggle UCS detection On/Off.

PARALLELIZATION: enabled multi-threaded display regeneration, using multiple processor cores. MTFLAGS and MAXTHREADS system variables were added to control multi-threading aspects.
PRINTING:
- SHADE PLOT: property for paperspace and modelspace viewports . This property is applied during printing, it overrides the visual style of a viewport.
- Enabled printing of layouts containing combinations of viewports using different visual styles.
- DISPPAPERMARGINS: system variable to control the display of the printable area.
- SR28726, SR29997, SR33003, SR33335, SR33890 and others - PRINT: implemented support for fine-tuneable printing of transparent images. When a problem is encountered while printing transparent images to a certain printer type, the ImagePrinting.xml configuration file in the plotter configuration folder now offers improved control by allowing to override the default settings with specific per-printer settings. The file contains documentation on how to use it.
- SR34409 - PRINT: added support for plot style's line-end caps and joints in plot and plot preview.
- TrueType fonts can now be printed as text instead of geometry, which makes them searchable in PDF prints and which reduces the size of the print output. This is controlled by the "Truetype Text" setting in the PC3 file, and if no PC3 is used, by the system variable TTFASTEXT.
  If TEXTFILL is off, text is always printed as geometry.
PUBLISH:
- BACKGROUNDPLOT: system variable controls whether documents are published in the current session or in a BricsCAD session running in the background, thus allowing to continue drawing while printing.
- /pl command line switch has been added for background (silent, without showing the main program window) publishing using DSD files. Format is '/pl [[path]name[.ext]]'. If the file name parameter is absent, the program just exits. If the file extension is absent, ".dsd" is added to the filename. File searching is done according to usual OS rules. If the DSD file is found, publishing is invoked according to the DSD file, and upon completion the program exits. When BricsCAD is started with the '/pl' switch, it ignores the SingletonMode setting thus allowing multiple instances.
- Page Setups from other drawings can now be imported.
- SR35875: added 'Move Sheet(s) Up/Down' and 'Reverse Sheet Order' buttons and functionality.
QLEADER: command and dialog were added. They allow to avoid specifying the same leader options over and over again.

- Tabs are automatically resized according to the tab text extents.
- Tooltips are shown in case the text doesn't fit the tab size.
- Tooltips and descriptions for each tool.
- New and Delete menu options were added for palettes.
- Insert blocks at mouse release position.
- Insert exploded blocks.
TOOLBAR COMBO BOXES: have been added for layer filters, layer states and dimension styles. All toolbar combo boxes now have adjustable width.
VIEWPORTS:
- MVSETUP command
  - Model layout: set up the unit type, drawing scale factor and paper size.
  - Named layout: create, align and scale a set of layout viewports.
- ALIGNSPACE: command to adjust viewport angle, zoom factor and pan position based on alignment points specified in model space and paper space.
WALKTHROUGH NAVIGATION (for perspective views):
- Alt + Left Mouse Button to 'walk' forward/backward and sideways, using the new RTWALK command.
- Alt + Middle Mouse Button to move up/down and sideways, using the new RTUPDOWN command.
- Ctrl + Middle Mouse Button to look around, using the new RTLOOK command. Shift + Right Mouse Button now brings up the snap menu instead of the former Ctrl + MMB combination.
- Ctrl + Home key sets the view direction to horizontal.
- Alt + Home key moves the target point to the center of the scene/drawing.
- Alt + Plus/Minus keys from the numeric keypad = increment/decrement movement speed, by modifying the new RtWalkSpeedFactor preference setting.
- Ctrl + Plus/Minus keys from the numeric keypad = increment/decrement rotation speed, by modifying the new RtRotationSpeedFactor preference setting.
WORKSETS: command for working with named groups of drawings.
SR35484 - SuppressDataLossWarning: new preference that allows to suppress the warning dialog when saving drawings to older dwg formats which do not support certain entity types.
Upgraded RedSdk rendering engine to version 3.1.0.4
Upgraded to V3.6 Open Design Teigha libraries.

Improvements

SHEETSETS:
- RENUMBER command: auto-renumbers all sheets in the sheetset.
- PUBLISH command: if BACKGROUNDPLOT > 1, the sheetset is published in the background.
- sheetsets are now saved automatically without user interaction.
- the 'New Sheet Set' dialog now allows creating an empty sheetset.
- added drag and drop to reorder sheets and subsets in the Drawing Explorer Sheets tree.
SCALELISTEDIT command:
- SR34371: improved the 'reset' behavior.
- SR35607: added -SCALELISTEDIT command for the command line.
- SR35608: added multiple selection in the scale list edit dialog.
- using 'Cancel' inside 'Add' and 'Delete' processing returns us to the main prompt, instead of stopping the command.
DISPLAY: the display is now updated immediately if a visual style is changed in the Drawing Explorer, and regenmode is set to 'On'.
HELP: added a help button to the Publish dialog, and corrected it in the Working Sets dialog.
Previously bit 3 of QAFLAGS was used to suppress the audit results on commandline. Now it causes AUDIT to produce a minimal report, with just entitycount, errorcount and fix count, both on commandline and in file.

SHEET SETS:
- New Sheet dialog:
  - added browse buttons for folder path and layout template.
  - new number is entered automatically, based on current number of sheets and using the new 'SheetNumberLeadingZeroes' preference
  - import from existing drawings: new sheets are automatically numbered, the sheet title can now be the drawing name, layout name or both.
  - when creating new sheets, custom sheet properties are now copied into the new sheet(s).
- Edit Custom properties: adding, editing and removing sheetset and sheet custom properties.
- when a sheet is opened, paths are now being resolved (dst: NewSheetLocation, DefDwtLayout; dwg: AcSheetSetData).
- a sheet can now be associated with another layout, when it is opened and the drawing is not found.
- when creating a new subset, the parent subset's properties are now copied into the new subset.
- Sheetset fields sometimes failed to update correctly.
- when changing a property in a subset that contains nested subsets, the user is asked if he wants to apply the same change to the nested subsets.
- Explorer: removed "Prompt for Template" property from sheetset/subset property view.
- Explorer: added "New Subset" to the sheet context menu for inserting a new subset between existing sheets.
- added automatic backup of DST files upon opening, controlled by the 'SheetSetAutoBackup' preference.
- added sheetset XML import/export.
COMPATIBILITY: ACIS data more recent than version 7.0 cannot be handled by AutoCAD. In order to allow drawings to be opened by AutoCAD, BricsCAD now converts ACIS data created by higher ACIS versions down to version 7.0.
HELP: added help buttons to Array, BlockAttributeManager, QLeaderSettings, NewSheetSet, NewSheet.
MESSAGES: following warning messages can now be suppressed by checking a 'Don't show this again' checkbox:
- message when moving entities to a frozen or turned Off layer.
- message when saving to a previous version that doesn't support some entities.
The 'WarningMessages' preference is used to store whether these messages should be shown or not. The 'SuppressDataLoss' preference that was used before for suppressing the message when saving to a previous version that doesn't support some entities has been removed.
PRINT:
- for layouts containing viewports that have different display modes, only the rendered viewports now are printed as raster images, wireframe viewports are printed as vector graphics, a.o. resulting in reduced print data size.
- raster image printing switched to using transparency method 'mask' by default, as this suits most 'physical' printers. For PDF printer drivers, extra overrides have been added in the ImagePrinting.xml configuration file.
SELECTION: selection commands now need to explicitly set a ":N" option in order to be able to select nested entities.
SR36419 - 3DCONTEXT: when there is no hardware rendering, the warning message will now appear before switching to 3D, instead of afterwards.
SR36799 - DCL: the file 'ERROR.log' to which DCL errors are written, is no longer stored in the BricsCAD installation folder but in LOCALROOTFOLDER, e.g. %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Bricsys\BricsCAD\V13\en_US, because the BricsCAD user may not have write access in the installation folder.
SR37306 - CUSTOMIZE DIALOG: when modifying the 'Help', 'Command' or 'Image' property of a menu item, toolbar button, keyboard shortcut, mouse button or double-click action, a warning message now appears that in fact the tool definition itself is being modified.

ASSEMBLY MODELING:
- MECHANICAL BROWSER: in 'Group by entity' mode, constraints now are attached to corresponding component insert nodes.
- BMREMOVE: command was removed - now the regular erase command or the Del key can be used instead.
- BMUNMECH: confirmation prompt has been added.
- QUAD:
  - Quad was suppressed for tables and MInsert blocks.
  - Select command was added for regular blocks.
- PREVIEWNESTEDENTS: system variable has been removed - instead the PREVIEWSUBENTS range has been extended.
SR36817 - AUTOCOMPLETE: single-click instead of double-click to close the panel and start the selected command.

PRINT: improved the handling of image printing method overrides.
MLINE: added an alias ML for the Multiline command.
GDI: added support for the drawing of diamond end and join styles when using GDI device.
SR22675 - DIMENSIONS: improved the behavior of associative dimensions with perpendicular snapping from a fixed point in space.

SR36643 - PUBLISH: added the "Do not publish" option for sheets in a subset, which overrides the publish setting on sheets within that subset.
SR36952 - CUI: added MLINE to the menu.

3D CONSTRAINTS: improved the DMANGLE3D initial angle value computation and dynamic dimension positions.
DIRECT MODELING: DMPUSHPULL now highlights a face used as reference for a dynamic dimension.
PDFUNDERLAY: snapping to PDF underlay content worked only if the actual snap point was in the aperture. Now it works as soon as part of e.g. the line is in the aperture.
RENDERING: improved RedSDK hardware detection, such that when hardware rendering is not possible, BricsCAD can switch to software rendering more gracefully.
SHADING: improved gooch shading:
- the backside of double sided OdDbFace objects was drawn in a dark color, unlike the front side of the object.
- dark objects were tinted green.
SUBENTITY SELECTION: enabled selecting and TAB-cycling through faces and edges of nested solids in block references.
SR27347, SR28240 - DIMENSIONS: added support for creation of associative dimensions using NEAREST snap.
SR29126 - DIMENSIONS: the dimstyle's DIMLFAC was not applied when dimensioning a modelspace entity in paperspace.

SR33737 - DIRECT MODELING: improved the behavior of DMPUSHPULL on models with constrained cylindrical fillets.
SR34472 - LAYER STATES: when a layer state is imported, a message box is displayed asking the user if the imported layer state should be restored.
SR34938, SR34975 - LAYER: the MATERIAL option was added for the -layer command.
SR35159 - COPY: when pressing and holding down the Ctrl key while dragging a selection set, the selection set is copied instead of moved when the mouse button is released.
SR35514 - TOOLPALETTES: extended the search path for block reference tools.
SR35544 - APPLOAD: renamed "Select LISP or DRX Files" dialog to "Select Application Files". This dialog opens when clicking the 'Add...' button in the 'Load Application Files' dialog.
SR36254 - PDFEXPORT: strongly reduced size of PDF files with embedded TTF fonts, by omitting the definitions of unused character glyphs.
SR36419 - 3DCONTEXT: when using the 3Dcontext command, a warning message will now pop up if hardware-based rendering is not supported.
SR36711 - TABLE: Table Cell margins can now be set in the properties palette, when a cell or range of cells is selected.
SR32046 - PRINT: improved print output for TTF fonts that require a non-standard approach for rendering the character glyph contours. The improvement is not applied when clipping is involved, e.g. with viewports or xrefs.

Fixes

DRAGSNAP: DRAGSNAP was not available because the definition of the variable was not added respecting alphabetical order.
LAYOUT: using the LAYOUT command to create a layout copy with an already existing name is now rejected, instead of creating a new layout with an unintended name.

SR37111 - FONTS: the MText editor crashed while initializing some user-provided .shx fonts.
SR37122, SR37310, SR37354 - PRECISION: when the unit precision was greater than 0, the angle to fill or the angle between changed from 360° to 359°, which triggered a miss calculation of array parameters.
SR37161 - PROXIES: the text of a user-provided proxy entity undesirably changed if the proxy was transformed, cloned or wblock/inserted.
SR37194 - DCL: if no cancel component was defined in a dcl dialog, the Close button in the title bar and the escape key behaved in the same way as the Ok button. From now on the Close button and the escape key will be disabled if the dcl dialog has no Cancel component.
SR37204 - PDF: an error occured when displaying a PDF in 3DCONTEXT.
SR37239 - QLEADER: when the 'reuse current' option was active, the bottom line was always underlined for all subsequent annotations, regardless of the 'Attachment Location' state.

SR37275 - AUTOCOMPLETE: the value in the AutoComplete\Delay Time context menu was displayed in current drawing units, instead of decimal units.
SR37333 - DISPLAY: meshes containing invisible edges were not properly displayed. Regression since V13.1.5
SR37349 - AUTOCOMPLETE:
- clicked an alias in the autocomplete list failed to start the corresponding command.
- the autocomplete list was not shown if only one appropriate command was found.

SR37215 - MLSTYLE: corrected Multiline Style dialog caption.
SR37217 - MLSTYLE: creation of style names containing spaces was allowed - it shouldn't be.
SR37235 - LOCALIZATION: "Open" string could not be translated in Russian version.

Data corruption in leaders(regression in V13.1.6)
SR37041 - Sheet Sets:
- When a sheetset was modified 'Save changes?' dialog now appears before the Drawing Explorer closes; a Cancel button was added; when 'No' is chosen, the sheetset tree branch is restored to its original contents.
- Improved finding the dst for for drawings coming from another location.

LOCALIZATION: new splash image dimensions, since some translations did not fit on the reduced-size splash image.
OLE: BricsCAD V13 clipboard content was described as being Bricscad12 instead of Bricscad13.
SELECTION, PREVIEW: when the PreviewDelay preference (= the amount of milliseconds to wait before starting to highlight the entities under the cursor) was set to 0 there was no preview selection highlighting at all. Now it highlights preview selection without delay. If the preference has a value bigger than 1000, a delay of 1000 milliseconds is used.
SHEET SETS: fields failed to update.
UNDEFINE: the UNDEFINE command undesirably disabled application commands from Lisp, BRX, COM.
SR24157 - DIMENSIONS: fixed copying of associative dimensions to a new drawing without copying the entities they were associated with.
SR29709 - DIMENSIONS: when the value of DIMASSOC was 0, and the dimension's text was overridden, the DIM CONTINUE command used a wrong value.
SR30336 - SELECTION: entities in the selectionset that are on layers set to OFF were rejected by -BHATCH and other commands.
SR32988 - PDFUNDERLAY: fade and contrast properties for PDF underlay were not functional.
SR36124 - BLOCKS: disabled the Explode checkbox in the insert dialog if the block that is being inserted is not explodable.
SR36722 - PRINT: content of PDF-underlay was missing when printing to large formats.
SR36737 - XHARDWARE: fixed generation of SCREWS in the SOCKET RECESS category.
SR36860 - DCL: only integer values were accepted for the attribute edit_width.
SR36935 - COPY: a message 'Not allowed for this proxy' appeared when trying to copy entities in certain drawings. The cause was a problem that occurred when cloning associative networks.
SR36964 - ZOOM: scroll zoom performance for drawings containing a large number of dashed splines had dropped in V13.
SR36969 - MTEXT: the FIELD button in the MText editor was disabled when entering new Mtexts.
SR36970 - QLEADER: the "no limit" check box was not obeyed.

V13 contains hundreds of fixes that have become available by upgrading to V3.6 of the Open Design Teigha libraries. These fixes are not listed here.
DELCONSTRAINT: not all constraints were deleted on two closed polyline triangles having constraints on them. Also, Delconstraint performance has been improved for drawings containing a large number of constraints.
DIRECT MODELING: DMPUSHPULL reference faces were incorrectly sorted in the TAB-cycle.
DRAWING EXPLORER - Page Setups: an exception occurred in scenario: Drawing Explorer/Page Setups > Page Setup dialog > Preview > close using the Esc key.
DRAWING EXPLORER - Views, Background combo: when the 'Image' option was selected the first time, a bogus error message box appeared - "Can't load image from file ''".
LAYERFILTERS: instead of color names, color indices are now stored in layer filter definitions.
PDFUNDERLAY: last segment of closed polyline was ignored during snapping.
TEXTSCREEN: upon startup, the textscreen should not appear even if WNDLTEXT is on.
SR16294 - DRAWING EXPLORER, Images: disabled 'Rename' option in 'Edit' and context menu (Images cannot be renamed).
SR19619, SR30249, SR35892 - RASTER IMAGES: when interpreting image geo referencing world files (such as .tfw and .jgw files), the image origin, scale and rotation were incorrect.
SR21745 - CURSOR: aperture box was visible when no command was active.
SR23409 - DIMARC: creation failed for arcs at large coordinates.
SR24910 - RASTER IMAGES: OpenGL graphics device always used black foreground color for bitonal images, instead of the color of the entity.
SR25031 - DIMENSIONS: DIMARC entities in layouts ignored DIMLFAC value.
SR28120 - VIEWS: on creation of a view, when the ratio between the view's width and height was greater than the ratio between screen width and screen height, the view's height was adapted and stored accordingly. Now the value stored for the view height is no longer modified, but when the view is set current, the viewport height will be adjusted according to the screen size.
SR28616 - RASTER IMAGES: when an image was inserted at large coordinates, the image disappeared and reappeared while zooming in/out.
SR29800 - PROPERTIES BAR: the scale of blocks set to 'Scale uniformly', could not be modified from the Properties Bar.
SR30056 - BLOCKS: an exploded block, inserted from disk, was not displayed during dragging.
SR32206 - ATTEDIT DIALOG: attributes were not updated in the drawing upon pressing the Apply button.
SR32741 - PDF UNDERLAY: a crash occurred when opening user-provided drawing with PDF underlay.
SR32918 - 2DCONSTRAINTS: angular constraint for an orthogonal pair of lines or points gave undesirable result.
SR33007 - CONSTRAINTS: glyphs that depend on a UCS to make sense now show a different bitmap if the current UCS is not parallel to the one they were created in. For example, if a line was made horizontal in WCS and then the UCS is changed to be at an angle, the line appears to be at an angle to the UCS-X (but horizontal in WCS), thus causing confusion. This is addressed by showing a different horizontal bitmap with small blue UCS axes.
SR33021 - DIMENSIONS: associative rotated dimensions disappeared (collapsed) after modification (e.g. STRETCH) of the dimensioned entities.
SR33277 - DWGPREFIX: when a new/unsaved drawing is opened, the DWGPREFIX variable should point to the BricsCAD startup folder.
SR33898 - DISPLAY: the cursor pickbox was not undrawn when a command was started, it was undrawn only after a mouse movement occurred. This was not always reproduced, usually it occurred with commands without pop-up menu (e.g. start of LINE).
SR33919, SR34562, SR34897, SR34898 - HATCH: fixed TRIM problems.
SR34472 - LAYER STATES: after importing a layer state file (.las) and then switching to the Layer view in the Drawing Explorer, the layer overview briefly displayed the new layers and then got reset to show only layer 0.
SR34499, SR35307 - PDF EXPORT: when arc segments of a polyline were exported to PDF, they were represented as a chain of lines instead of arcs.
SR34651 - HATCH: fixed calculation of hatch area for boundaries containing overlapping curves.
SR34686 - DRAWORDER: was undesirably changed in a group during selection preview highlighting.
SR34711 - PRINT: some holes in solid hatches were ignored and filled.
SR34776 - 2DCONSTRAINTS: creation of constraint glyphs on drawing open can take long in drawings containing many constraints. Now glyph creation is deferred till actually required.
SR34906 - SNAP: calculation of CENTER snap for polylines is made more precise for polylines with large coordinates.
SR35036 - DISPLAY: attribute objects on layer "0", with BYLAYER color, were displayed with wrong color after one of the layers was frozen in the PS viewport (regression in V12).
SR35091 - GRIP-EDIT: when an entity was edited by grip points, it disappeared when zooming with the mouse wheel.
SR35297 - FILLET and CHAMFER: option POLYLINE gave incorrect result for polylines with non-zero global width.
SR35313 - CRASH: a crash occurred when working with a drawing containing a layer with an invalid material id.
SR35320 - RASTER ENGINE:
- white line artefacts occurred at the borders of adjacent (clipped) images.
- when zooming out images disappeared too soon.
SR35356 - SNAP: the marker size was dependent on the size of the view in perspective mode.
SR35372 - UNDO: undo chain got broken after AUDIT of blocks.
SR35415 - AUDIT: added missing linefeed in audit output.
SR35420 - DYNAMIC BLOCKS: draw order inside dynamic block got lost after editing a dynamic block property.
SR35427 - TABLE: the Table Dialog did not remain modal after opening and closing the Table Styles drawing explorer. Also improved setting Table gridlines in the Table Styles drawing explorer
SR35552 - STRETCH: failed for user-provided scenario.
SR35568, SR35764 - REFEDIT: when an entity was removed from the working set in REFEDIT session, it was no longer displayed.
SR35572 - REFEDIT: a crash occurred when executing UNDO after all entities were erased during a REFEDIT session.
SR35580 - BIGFONT DISPLAY: accuracy was insufficient.
SR35608 - SCALE LIST EDIT: on resizing the scale list edit dialog, the list of scales expands according to the available width. The entries in the list also expand according to available width. Before this fix, the entries took up only about half the width of the list and the list did not get wider when resizing the dialog.
SR35752 - LINE: construction of line tangent to two arcs has been fixed.
SR35770 - APPLICATION WINDOW SIZE: when the application window was not maximized, WNDSMAIN window size was stored in registry 1 pixel too small in both directions.
SR35775 - TOOLPALETTES: forced the display color of blocks to always use black regardless of background color.
SR35815 - REFEDIT: draworder was not saved by REFCLOSE/SAVE.
SR35822 - CHAMFER: display of chamfer angle was in radians, while it should be using the current angle format (AUNITS).
SR35834 - PEDIT: option multiple, option join: the [Jointype] keyword could not be translated in localized versions.
SR35876 - TEXTFILL: when printing an area containing clipped parts of texts, Textfill = OFF setting was ignored.
SR35921 - TABLES: could not change multiple cell values via Properties Bar.
SR35935 - EXTRUDE: operation failed for closed polylines with identical start and end points.
SR36010, SR36712 - MENU: after loading a partial cui file with MENULOAD, accelerator keyboard shortcuts no longer worked.
SR36036 - PLOT: corrected the prompt for saving changes to print settings to a layout.
SR36042 - DYNAMIC BLOCKS: when changing dynamic block parameters, block attribute visibility was not set correctly.
SR36047 - 3DFACE: option "_invisible" was rejected for the second edge, if the first edge was also defined as "invisible".
SR36163 - STRETCH: some of the line endpoints within the crossing window were not picked up by the stretch command.
SR36183, SR36206 - DISPLAY: polylines with thickness and dashed linetype were displayed with zero lineweight when viewed from the top.
SR36367 - HATCH: area calculation incorrectly gave a 0 result for a hatch contained in a user-provided drawing.
SR36462 - PRINTING: when Print settings in the Print Preview was clicked, the Page Setup dialog was opened instead of the Print dialog.
SR36496 - FOCUS: when moving the cursor over the drawing view, while working in an application window, the focus undesirably switched to the drawing view.
SR36535 - BLOCKS: the block description was not transferred when the Drawing Explorer was used to populate a toolpalette with blocks.
SR36664 - UNDO: when a drawing contained Light object(s), and _undo group/begin/end was used, a crash occurred.
SR36764 - VBA: after loading a password protected dvb project with the VBA Manager, the VBA IDE was disabled.

Applications

LISP: the performance of the (layoutlist) function has been improved by factor >= 8.
LISP: (setvar "HPNAME" ...) has been improved to better support user-type hatchpattern names.
LISP: increased available recursion depth to 20000.
LISP - (vlr-docmanager-reactor): when a drawing was made the current drawing, the "documentToBeActivated" was missing, before the "documentBecameCurrent" event was sent.
LISP/DCL: when a Lisp error happened, while a DCL dialog was created, but not yet started (i.e. between (new_dialog) and (start_dialog) function calls), the Lisp error was detected and stopped Lisp execution - but the dialog was visible, yet orphaned (no handler active). As a result, the DCL dialog remained on screen, and could not be closed.
LISP/COM: added IAcadDocument::get/put_ActiveMaterial() property access.
OUTPUT: when text, printed to the commandline, contained a \r\n sequence, the text before \r was not printed.
SR33127 - VBA: when calling AcadToolbar.Left and AcadToolbar.Top, the returned position value for the Docked Toolbars was always 0.
SR35685, SR35574 - .NET: added support for StartOpenCloseTransaction.
SR37156 - SNAP: snapping did not work correctly on custom objects derived from AcDbBlockReference.
SR37207 - .NET: improved DrawableOverrule API implementation for block references. Added support for those cases when geometry is processed before block content and attributes.
SR37314, DCL: A dcl file containing a non breaking space character could not be parsed. Added the non breaking space character (hex code "\xa0") as an allowed whitespace character to our dcl parser.
SR37651 - LISP/SDS/BRX : setvar("HPNAME", ".") now clears the HPNAME value, instead of returning an error.
SR37717 - WIPEOUT: command WIPEOUT now always creates the ACAD_WIPEOUT_VARS (WIPEOUTVARIABLES) dictionary to provide better compatibility.
SR37743 - SDS/LISP: AUDIT reported an error after using (entmod) resp. sds_entmod() with an anonymous BlockTableRecord.
SR37747 - LISP/SDS/BRX : (vl-vbaload) resp. sds_vbaload() return status did not properly provide the result, it was always T resp. RTNORM.

SR37647, 37650 - LISP: the fix for SR37403 - (read-char file) applied in V13.1.10 has been reverted because it introduced problems when reading files.

SR34077 - BRX: negative GSmarkers < -1 of custom entities were not preserved.
SR35553 - BRX: the argument of the wrappers put function of AcPePropertyEditorColor is now colorIndex and not colorValue and colorMethod.
SR36829 - LISP,SDS,BRX - SSGET: when PICKSTYLE was 1 or 3, group entities resp. hatch boundary entities were selected, even when located on a frozen layer.
SR37334, SR37446 - LISP : when a drawing was saved, strings stored by (vlax-ldata-xxx) were encoded incorrectly, which caused invalid (vlax-ldata) strings, when the drawing was opened again.
SR37370, SR37423 - LISP: in very big Lisp applications, the memory management got corrupted, resulting in very strange issues. Introduced in V13.1.8.
SR37403 - LISP (read-char file): if a text file contained a 0x1A value ('EOF' character), it was not possible to read any character following after this 'EOF'.
SR37411 - LISP,SDS,BRX: during a "saveComplete" EditorReactor event, DWGPREFIX did not return the correct path of the file just saved.

LISP - SSGET: improved performance when (ssget) is called very often (i.e. in loops), by reducing the number of GarbageCollections.
LISP - TBLSEARCH: significantly improved performance for (tblsearch) and (tblnext), factor >= 2.
SR36829 - LISP/SDS/BRX: the command line output for the INSERT command was always displayed, regardless the CMDECHO value.
SR35894 - .NET GripOverrule: an exception occurred when adding new GripData objects to a GripDataCollection.
SR36985 - COM: "Rotate" method - input point (rotation center) was handled as WCS point instead of UCS point, and UCS plane/Z-Axis must be used for rotation.

APIs (LISP,SDS,BRX): ssget() selection performance had dropped in V13, this has been fixed.
SR34615 - LISP: a wrong selection point was returned by (entsel), in case the active snapping point existed before calling (entsel).
SR35553 - BRX: implemented IAcPiPropertyDisplay interface.
SR36960 - LISP, SDS, BRX: when accessing the POLARANG system variable via APIs, it now correctly uses a RADIAN value for input and output.

BRX: during reactor events in "beginDeepCloneXlation", in Undo condition, using odOpenObject() to open an object already opened in kForWrite mode always triggered an "eWasOpenForUndo" error. Re-opening in kForWrite mode is allowed now.
LISP: fixed (vlr-reaction-set ) - the newly assigned function was not used for the reactor event.
LISP: improved and fixed (vle-end-transaction), cursor display has been corrected, using a nested start/end transaction is now possible.
LISP: improved (vl-getGeomExtents arg) - the 'arg' argument can be an entity name, a list of entity names, or a SelectionSet.
LISP: made the Lisp engine more stable if an unhandled exception happens during (command), (entmake) and (entmakex) calls.
Reactors: corrected the triggering of reactor events and related operations to make behavior symmetric and logically correct.
VBA: improved error messaging on dvb files loading/saving. Now the actual system message is shown instead of a general "The parameter is incorrect".
SR24750 - BRX: fixes were applied to OdGeCurveSurfIntImpl::set.
SR29038 - BRX: AcDbLoadHatchPattern did not reload the Hatch pattern when called a second time.
SR30826 - BRX: OdDbTableStyle::setTextHeight returned wrong height.
SR32926 - LISP: when lisp expressions were used within an undo group (between undo begin/end), a single step UNDO only undid part of the operation.
SR32941 - LISP: (vl-string-translate) parsed the source string for each character in destination character set, which could result in wrong result string.
SR33527 - LISP/DCL: (init_dialog [baseDclFile]) is a new BricsCAD-specific LISP function to fine-tune DCL file loading behaviour: it instructs the BricsCAD DCL engine to use the specified file as custom "base.dcl" file. If the argument 'baseDclFile' is omitted or nil, internal DCL defaults are used. If the argument 'baseDclFile' is given and not nil, it must be a valid filename. The function returns 't' for success, or 'nil' to indicate an error.
SR34161 - .NET: implemented Teigha.DatabaseServices.Polyline.ReverseCurve().
SR34406, SR34407 - ENTSEL: the function entsel did not switch off rubberbanding, for instance when nested inside a LINE command.
SR34927 - BRX: opening the Text Style Dialog (Drawing Explorer) after a call from BRX made BricsCAD unstable.
SR34995 - LISP: entget() error occurred after purging a block.
SR35290 - COM: implemented property IAcadPolyfaceMesh::put_Faces(VARIANT).
SR35358 - BRX: OdDbTableImpl::hitTest was corrected.
SR35370 - DCL: a dcl image component could be displayed in a slightly wrong position, shifted 2 pixels to the left and 2 pixels to the top. This happened because the layouting of the image could be skipped in rare circumstances. Fixed by setting the proper position when creating the image, which happens even if layouting does not happen.
SR35385 - LISP: when one drawing entity had multiple (vlr-object-reactor) instances attached and 1 instance was removed from the entity, all other reactor instances also were no longer triggered.
SR35452 - LISP: when Lisp reactors were used with database-related events, a (hidden) access violation occurred during document close.
SR35453 - LISP/SDS/BRX: improved API compatibility for getenv/setenv functionality - AutoCAD-specific environment variables "ShowTabs", "ShowPaperMargins", "ShowPaperBackground" are now automatically redirected to the appropriate BricsCAD variables.
SR35517 - BRX Object Property Manager: different visibility of the same property with multiple entities selected was not respected.
SR35553 - BRX: the IAcPiPropertyDisplay interface was not supported.
SR35649 - COM: the properties AcadBlockReference.XScaleFactor/YScaleFactor/ZScaleFactor should ignore the insert units of the AcDbBlockTableRecord.
SR35808 - LISP: fixed problems with (vle-entget) and (vle-entmod) using DXF codes 10 and 11, using incorrect coordinate system (OCS vs. WCS).
SR35836, SR35806 - LISP: fixed problems with (equal) and (assoc) using VLA-OBJECT items.
SR35940 - ALL APIs: (entmod) / sds_entmod() / AcDbEntMod() triggered multiple reactor events while an entmod operation should be treated as a single database operation.
SR35940 - WBLOCK command: improved compatibility. Using (command "_wblock" "_y" ...) did not prompt whether to overwrite the existing file, therefore the command sequence ran out-of-sync, causing several side-effects to applications (using EXPERT >= 2 suppresses this prompt whether to overwrite existing files)
SR35959 - OLE: cloned OLE objects could not save changes, they always kept the data from the original OLE object.
SR36017 - LISP: fixed (vla-put-plotstylename) issues for layers, entities and groups
- ByLayer and ByBlock were not accepted in case-insensitive spelling (BYLAYER, BYBLOCK)
- assigning a non-existing plotstyle name for entities failed, but should create a placeholder, like it is handled for layers.
SR36040 - ALL APIs: depending on the orientation/sequence of points p1 and p2, ssget("W", p1, p2) resp. (ssget "W" p1 p2) sometimes incorrectly returned an empty selectionset.
SR36051 - LISP/DCL: different from documented, AutoLISP (set_tile key value) accepts "value" to be a numeric value (integer, double) while the same failed with BricsCAD, which strictly followed documentation. BricsCAD LISP behavior has been made more forgiving so numbers are converted into strings automatically.
SR36051 - DCL: added means to specify multiline column labels in a list_box.
BricsCAD-only dcl attributes bcad_skip_next_child and bcad_label have been added. In a dcl file, the line bcad_skip_next_child=true; can be used to skip the dcl component right after it. The skipped dcl component can be at any nesting level, it can be an attribute or a complex component. The attribute bcad_label can be used in a list_box to specify column labels. Column labels are tab (\t) separated. A column label can contain newlines. If bcad_label exists in a list_box, the label attribute is ignored. Both bcad_skip_next_child and bcad_label will be ignored on other dcl engines. This allows to specify true multiline column labels on BricsCAD and yet have a decent fallback on dcl engines that do not support true column labels.
SR36069 - COM, VLAX: IAcadDictionaries::Add() and IAcadDictionary::AddObject() incorrectly erased an existing dictionary entry, when a new one using the same name ("key") was added.
SR36098 - LISP: improved Lisp syntax diagnostics by checking for balanced () brackets.
SR36132 - ALL APIs: setting GRIPS=0 failed to remove the grip markers from selected entities.
SR36133 - ALL APIs: when a gripped entity was modified through a database access function, the grip markers remained at original positions, instead of being updated with the entity.
SR36143 - ALL APIs: (nentsel) / sds_nentsel() / acedNEntSel() ignored empty prompt string "" and used the standard "Select objects:" prompt instead.
SR36157, SR36251 - ALL APIs: (handent) resp. sds_handent() / AcDbHandEnt() could return a valid entity for an improper handle string (i.e. "X12E" returned a valid entity) - this has been fixed.
SR36199 - LISP: reactor management - if a new reactor instance was created during reactor callback processing (when both reactors are of same type), the newly created reactor was not respected, and therefore not notified.
SR36210 - LISP: (vl-getGeomExtents ename) is a new Lisp function to retrieve the geometric extents of an entity as list of 3D point (pointMin pointMax) in WCS (or NIL in case of an error).
SR36247 - LISP: added BricsCAD-specific COM function (vla-getreferences blockObject).
SR36256 - -LAYER command: option 'linetype' should not allow to use the 'ByLayer' and 'ByBlock' types.
SR36271 - LISP/SDS/BRX: ssadd(ename) function should only allow "entities", but reject "objects" like e.g. table entries.
SR36310 - LISP/SDS/BRX: intersection of OdDbFace objects consisting of 3 points instead of the usual 4, returned only a single point instead of two.
SR36334 - LISP: if owner objects were added to an already persistent reactor, these owner objects were not stored with the persistent reactor. When the dwg was re-loaded, those added objects did not trigger the reactor events.
SR36342 - DCL: in a list_box, a character key can be pressed to navigate to an item that starts with that character. However, when doing so, no callback was triggered.
SR36397 - LISP: a dwg file, saved by AutoCAD, containing empty (released) persistent Lisp reactors, could be opened in BricsCAD, but re-opening after saving the file failed.
SR36401 - LISP,SDS,BRX: when using getdist(), a preceeding call to initget(64) was ignored and the distance was always returned as 3D distance.
SR36406 - DCL: the minimum width of a popup_list was too large.
SR36441 - LISP: (ver) function, indicating the x86 or x64 platform, did not return appropriate results.
SR36528 - BRX: sometimes the unloading process of BRX modules was interrupted, which caused the BRX module to remain loaded.
SR36661 - LISP: regression in (vl-sort-i) function - when the provided list had only 1 item, that list was directly returned, instead of returning the appropriate item index list.
SR36671 - LISP: (vlax-add-cmd) caused an exception when running it in a different document. Now it issues an appropriate error message instead.
SR36738 - LISP: improved namespace compatibility for TrueColor objects using (vla-getinterfaceobject (vlax-get-acad-object))
