contains items drawn on a layer other than 0 with the colour set to "ByLayer".

CS-14364

PCB Design

Design compare

Transfer to PCB may fail to complete while reading assignment data from each

PCB library when many library paths are defined.

CS-14361

PREditor

PREditor

In PREditor the Control, Wheel Mouse Zoom Out function does not move the cursor

to the centre of the screen.

CS-14358

Import

More objects may be imported via DXF import than expected, when the DXF file

contains items drawn on layer 0 with the colour set to "ByLayer".

CS-14348

PCB Design

Import

DXF files fail to import into CADSTAR if they have a header section containing

only EXTMIN and EXTMAX variables.

CS-14345

PCB Design

ECO Update

For designs using Legacy Constraint Management, ECO update and Back Annotation

operations, the user is asked several times if they wish to use the new

Constraint Management system.

CS-14336

PCB Design

Colours

The Apply All option in the Colours, Layers dialog does not apply to the Drill
