• Added new checkboxes in the Print Reports dialog for Papers and View Settings dialog for Calculations to hide the Sum By settings.

Crash Fixes

Bug Fixes

• Fixed problem with the order of line items in Calculations not being retained on order exports.
• Fixed problem with pricing exporting as text values and not numeric values in the Excel export from Calculations.
• Fixed problem with article view names in calculations showing up incorrectly in the Excel exports.
• Fixed problem with fields NR, TL, TP, and TS not exporting the correct values in Configura SIF exports.
• Fixed problem where Calculation View always reflected price changes regardless of the SIF reprice option by adding a ‘Base Price’ column to the CIL Query dialogue for consistency.
• Fixed problem with column header text overlapping in Calculations when columns are narrow.
• Fixed problem with the Note column in Calculation disappearing after a refresh.
• Fixed problem where the Downloader could crash during start up due to damaged cache files.
• Fixed problem where pressing PAGE DOWN with a line being inserted would cause it to lock upwards and PAGE UP downwards. They now lock in the expected direction.
• Fixed problem of colors appearing darker for SVG with transparency.
• Fixed problem with PMX exports being unable to be repriced in Spec for Catalog and CIL products. This primarily affected Steelcase products.
• Fixed problem with scheme applications not working as expected on worktops.
• Fixed problem with incorrect overhang for worktops and cover/support sides when used with appliances.
• Fixed problem with missing cover and support sides in PDF exports.
• Fixed problem with the navigation bar not appearing in 3D view after updating to CET 16.5 Major.
• Fixed problem where 3D Viewport renderings become very overexposed in large drawings.
• Fixed problem with the ‘Extend Floor/Minimum Size’ field not accepting values larger than two digits, allowing full floor values to be entered as expected.
• Fixed problem where unit loads removed after decreasing the width of an Essential Pallet Racking bay with accessories did not repopulate when the width was increased again.
• Fixed problem with scaling not being applied when using a custom material in the COM tool.
• Fixed problem with custom materials missing in a part number's options when exporting to PMX.
• Fixed problem with unreliable retrieval of updates information from MyConfigura.
• Fixed problem where image objects in Paper View could appear invisible, become non-selectable, or duplicate—especially after reloading a drawing and using the Architectural view mode. Performance delays when copying pages with images have also been improved. 
  Image objects now insert correctly, remain visible, and are fully editable.
• Changing the "Coordinates" property ("Xyz", "Polar" or "Both") when drawing line-like objects will no longer cause the next property below to get selected. This affects many types of objects that share the same property, such as walls, help lines and 3D shapes.
• Fixed problem with part description not showing in the tooltip for CIL parts in the Reader and Search tabs.
• Fixed problem where the ‘Save’ and ‘Save As’ buttons for the dimension text style were not functioning as intended.
• Fixed the problem with an incorrectly translated Japanese term found in CET Unit Load Editor.
• Fixed the problem causing all markings to display in red in the 2D view on load, regardless of the Yellow material selected in Quick Property.
