Altium Designer Beta 20.0.8 Build 157

PLATFORM
31167 Fixed an issue that caused alternate parts to not be taken into account after 3D STEP generation. (BC:2654)
32240 Fixed regression that caused crash when Preferences dialog was opened and left idle.
33921 Project validation checks will now correctly report missing component footprint models in the Messages panel. (BC:6066)
35670 Fixed issue that caused Net colors to not be included in the PDF Output when generated from a Fabrication Outjob file.
35774 Fixed regression issue where Exception occurred while moving Libraries inside the Project panel.
SCHEMATIC
34658 Improved the performance of wire/bus optimization, which was causing an unreasonable delay during component dragging.
35121 Fixed issue that caused hierarchical structures to not apply to projects after compiling was finished due to Sheet Symbol objects that didn't have connectivity.
35211 Compile PCB Project command changed to Validate PCB Project, since the introduction of the Dynamic Compiler means this command now only performs an ERC.
35212 Fixed a regression where the ERC incorrectly flagged errors for Sheet Entries being used in a Signal Harness.
35285 Fixed an issue where the Dynamic Compiler caused the Board Level Annotation feature to incorrectly annotate the components on a test schematic.
35350 Fixed compiler mask issue that did not detect changes after resizing or re-positioning.
35395 Fixed slow performance during placing wire/bus/harness in Schematic, if templates path refers network server.
35525 Fixed issue that caused symbols to become unlinked when dragging Designators from a Schematic Symbol.
35526 Fixed regression where Font Selection was not available in the Properties panel for Harness Connectors and Sheet Symbols.
35541 Fixed issue that caused graphic to not update correctly when pasting a component in the Schematic Library Editor.
35565 Fixed issue that caused Port Cross References texts to not be properly positioned until clicked on.
35566 Fixed issue where modified fonts were not updated correctly when using the Update Schematic command.
35569 Fixed a regression in which the ability to select multiple Parameter Set objects was not working within the Schematic and Schematic Library editors.
35576 Fixed an issue in which the Text Frame dashed outline was missing during placement.
35582 Fixed issue that caused Invalid Dash Style in PDF output.
35676 Fixed issue that caused a line object to be incorrectly marked and indicated when selected.
35703 Fixed issue that failed to detect changes in the Schematic documents if several pins were placed over each other in a Schematic Symbol object until after the PCB document was updated, and Altium Designer was restarted.
35704 Fixed issue that caused a Schematic document with the ' µ' character in the filename the inability to appear as a child document.
35767 Fixed an issue when sub - grid lines sometimes disappear.
35778 Fixed an issue with incorrect PDF output for a rounded rectangle with a radius larger than its size.
PCB
32779 Fixed an issue where the .VersionControl_PrjFolderRevNumber special string was not being interpreted when the PCB was part of an embedded board array which was under version control. (BC:71)
33863 Fixed a regression in which an access violation occurred in PolygonClipper.dll after changing the track width within a PCB document.
34174 Fixed option to ignore snap by holding the Ctrl key when moving PCB objects. (BC:11605)
35054 Fixed bug that caused the Jump To Location command to not jump to entered location.
35304 Fixed regression where Update From PCB Libraries command did not display Component Footprints in the Difference Details display region.
35405 Fixed an issue where the polygon pour order was not retained when a number of polygons were copied and pasted.
35552 Fixed regression that caused pad and via objects the inability to display nets or text on the currently active Plane Layer or Non-Signal Layer in Flip Board view.
35557 Fixed issue where the Pick Net command did not work properly for different multi-selected objects.
35567 Polygon Pour mode of the Properties panel, removed the Auto Naming checkbox. The software now respects the user-defined name, or automatically names the polygon if the Name field is empty.
35594 Removed auto-completion for Routing width in the Properties panel.
35599 Fixed an issue with the layer drawing order where mechanical layers 17 and higher would not display in front of other layers when configured to do so.
35602 The Follow Mouse Trail option within the PCB Editor - Interactive Router preferences has been retired.
35603 Fixed an exception that would occur when a PCB object's layer was changed, and then the Select Outside Area command was used to select it.
35617 Fixed issue that caused Assertion failure during creepage distance rule check.
35667 Fixed issue that displayed a full circle violation, rather than a violation that should have been placed around the edge of an Arc, after using the Design Rule Checker in some projects.
35733 Fixed an issue where 'Drag PCB' command from the Active bar or 'Edit' menu does not work for traces.
35783 Fixed an issue where Multi-Layer drawing order is not respected when promoting Mechanical layer above Current layer.
Other
35581 Components Panel: Fixed issue where the Components panel was not refreshed (updated) when launching the 'IntegratedLibrary:RefreshInstalledLibraries' command.
35550 Components Panel: Fixed issue that caused crash when executing Components panel File-based library search for Footprints.
35546 Components Panel: Fixed a performance degradation issue that occurred when searching for Footprints from Component's panel File-based Libraries Search.
34671 Data Management: Added duplication detection to the Library Migrator, which flags a violation when a library component's Part Choice or a specified Parameter matches that of a component in the target server.
35259 Data Management: Fixed a regression that caused PCB Libraries to not be viewable in the Components panel unless a PCB document was the current active document. A 'Footprints' view has been added to the Libraries menu of the panel.(BC:12166)
35601 Data Management: Fixed issue that caused Move to Part Choice action to delete Description and Name parameters.
35761 Data Management: Fixed an issue when the Error message appeared after changing component source in the Properties panel and opening BomDoc.
35500 Draftsman: Fixed a regression in which column numbering within the Bill of Materials table were changed after the value in the Designator field was altered.
35559 Draftsman: Fixed issue that caused invalid sized items when exporting DXF files from Draftsman.
35705 IPP: Fixed issue that caused the value for Length in the Net Information section of the Differential Pair Routing Properties panel to always display 'N/A' rather than the genuine length.
35293 SIMULATION: Fixed calculation of expressions with pwr() and pwrs() functions.
