Version 12.1.15 - 07/02/2012  

  Improvements
  DIRECT MODELING: Shift+Tab now allows to switch to the previous dynamic dimension in the list of   available reference planes.

 PERFORMANCE: 40% reduction of time required to regenerate 3D polylines that have dashed linetypes.

RENDER: the obsolete checkbox 'Switch to High Quality Visual Style' led to confusion and has been removed from the RENDER dialog: to switch to one of the permanently rendered display modes please use the VISUALSTYLES command.

  SR29310 - PURGE: introduced support for following command options:

    RegApps

    Materials

    MLineStyles

    PlotStyles

    TableStyles

    VisualStyles.

    SR32983 - CONSTRAINTS: a blue constraint glyph is displayed now when the user hovers over an entity that has a constraint on it.

Fixes

 LOCALIZATION: in localized versions, pressing F1 while a command is active did not bring up the Help for that command.

  LOCALIZATION: the 'fence' option of the 'select' prompts required a different translation for the prompt menu and the command line, but there was only one "Fence" translation available.

  SR28419 - COORDINATE FILTER: when applying a coordinate filter (.x, .y, .z) during input, movement of dynamically displayed entities was not restricted according to the filter.

   SR28800 - REFEDIT: a crash occurred on attempt to edit a reference, which had a mutual dependency on another reference.

   SR28884, SR32992 - PASSWORD PROTECTION: it was not possible to open password protected drawings by double-clicking them in the Windows Explorer, or by using drag-and-drop.

  SR30569 - EXTRUDE: a circle could not be extruded along a path if the path was part of a group with multiple entities.

  SR31253 - XREF and -XREF: did not allow to detach a nested xref if not all parent xrefs could be found.

 
 SR31470 - EXPLODE: the resulting entities after exploding 3D solids were not created at the expected position.

 
 SR32138, SR32444 - SAVE: view parameters of paper space viewport were lost, if drawing was saved in R14 format.

 
 SR32524 - TEXT: height/width of text with oblique angle was wrong in case the text was scaled non-uniformly.

 SR32603 - CURSOR: crosshair cursor was not updated according to screen location in perspective mode.

 
 SR32715 - VIEWPORT: the default size of the viewport created when activating a new paper space layout has been adjusted to be 0.8 times the size of the printable area.

 
 SR32767, SR33506 - LOCALIZATION: some strings in the Section Plane Settings Explorer and Properties Bar could not be translated.

 
 SR32784 - DIMENSIONS: annotative dimensions didn't change position after copying.

 
 SR32824 - CONSTRAINTS: the point-line-coincidence constraint caused unnatural line rotations when grip-editing right after undo.

 SR32927 - TRIM: failed when the given curve intersected the cutting edge at the boundary point of this edge.

 
 SR32981 - CONSTRAINTS:

    1. Reset glyphs required an additional redraw.

    2. Selecting nothing and hitting Enter triggered the "Select all" option for Reset/Hide/Show, which was confusing. We removed the "Press ENTER to select all" option as it was redundant: the command already had a default "Select All" option built-in anyway.

  SR33133 - MIRROR: vertical text entities were not correctly mirrored.

 
 SR33159 - DRAWING EXPLORER: when, after editing a Layout or Page Setup and then closing the Explorer, a command was run that can be run from inside the Drawing Explorer - e.g. 'UCS' - the Drawing Explorer was reopened, while it shouldn't.

 
 SR33189 - STRETCH: "Wrong object type" application error occurred when stretching polylines and attributes contained in a user-provided drawing.

  SR33192 - LOCALIZATION: chamfer command option 'Directional' could not be translated.

  SR33275 - TEXT: text style's main font was used for the space character while instead its big font should be used.

  SR33311 - RENDER: when rendering to viewport the rendered image was immediately overwritten with the non-rendered display - this has been fixed.

 
 SR33449 - OPEN: a fatal error occurred when trying to open a user-provided drawing. It was caused by a Field list that failed to load from a DXF proxy.

Application Development

 
 COM, LISP: IAcadDocument::get_WindowTitle() returned an empty string instead of the window title.

  LISP: added function (vl-layerstates-list) which returns a list of existing LayerStates.

 
 SR29581 - OPM: Properties Manager Entity Selection box displayed dxf names instead of object type names.

 
 SR30490, SR32322: SDS, BRX, LISP, COM: PASTE and PASTEORIG commands now use ARX-compatible internal implementation, which correctly triggers ::beginInsert(), ::otherInsert() and ::endInsert() events (amongst others); before this fix, those events were not triggered.

 
 SR30609 - HLR: passing a polyface mesh that contained linear faces to the HLR engine caused an error.

  SR30884 - DISPLAY: entities which are aware of some view properties, were not invalidated after undoing or redoing modifications of these view properties. Also implemented entity invalidations after Lisp command (setview) and after returning to previous view (DDVPOINT/VIEW).

 
SR30885 - SHADEMODE HIDDEN: edges of shells were not visible after the layer of the shell had been made visible.

   SR30887 - SNAP: object snaps were not completely indicated on custom objects because getOsnapPoints() was not called for each GsMarker of the entity required by the aperture box.

 
SR31013, SR33407 - PASTE: during PASTE command, ORTHO mode was respected, while it should not.

  SR31181 - HLR: improved HLR engine's performance on large models.

   SR31411 - HATCH: implemented intersectWith and boundingBoxIntersectWith for OdDbHatch.

  SR32048 - BRX: AcGiCommonDraw::isDragging() always returned 'false' in HighQuality and Model ShadeMode.

 
 SR32497 - MODELING: 3d solid getSlice() did not properly handle cases where the slicing plane was coincident with one of the solid's faces.

  SR32665, SR32838, SR33240 - LISP: when the (vlax-get-acad-object) object was passed to (vlax-release-object), the main Lisp COM object for the Bricscad application was mistakenly set to be NULL, which caused errors when (vlax-release-object) was used again, returning the same instance (as it was set to NULL).

  SR32850 - LISP: (atoms-family 1 refList) syntax: Lisp symbol name strings were not always listed using uppercase.

  SR32925 - LISP, SDS: construction of circles tangent to other entities failed.

  SR32976 - PEDIT: when deleting vertices from a polyline, the deleted segments remained visible until the command was terminated.

  SR32993 - DIMENSIONS: corrected calculation of oblique angle for Aligned and Rotated dimension entities.

 
 SR33015 - SPHERE and AI_SPHERE: clicking the "Center" option in the prompt menu triggered an exception.

  SR33067 - COM, LISP: implemented IsUrl() and GetRemoteFile() methods for IAcadUtility object, and corrected the return status of (vla-isremotefile).

    .

  SR33072 - OPM: fixed editing of combo boxes, displayed as edit fields, because of having 0 entries.

  SR33106 - OPM: fixed changing the enabled state of per instance properties.

   SR33130 - LISP: added functions to get + set PdfOutput properties via COM:

    (vla-get-zoomtoextents), (vla-put-zoomtoextents)

    (vla-get-papersizeoverride), (vla-put-papersizeoverride)

    (vla-get-shxtextasgeometry), (vla-put-shxtextasgeometry)

    (vla-get-simplegeomoptimization), (vla-put-simplegeomoptimization)

    (vla-get-ttftextasgeometry), (vla-put-ttftextasgeometry)

    (vla-get-embeddedttf), (vla-put-embeddedttf)

    (vla-get-layerssetting), (vla-put-layerssetting)

    (vla-get-layoutstoexport), (vla-put-layoutstoexport)

    (vla-get-paperheight), (vla-put-paperheight)

    (vla-get-paperwidth), (vla-put-paperwidth)

    (vla-get-useplotstyles), (vla-put-useplotstyles)

 
 SR33186 - LISP, BRX: incorrect handling of unconventional DottedPair resbuf lists, returned to Lisp engine by acedRetList(). Example: acedRetList(RTLONG val, RTDOTE, RTSTR str) resulted in (val) instead of (val . str)

  SR33246 , SR33515 - USER ACCESS RIGHTS: suppressed error messages that occurred when running Bricscad as user without administrator rights.

 
 SR33420 - LISP, BRX: COM access for 'GetPropertyValue' of DynamicBlocks was fixed.

  SR33420 - LISP: (vlax-get) function did not "explode" non-native objects like Variants and SafeArray recursively.
