Version 23.3.1

Build: 30 Date: 16 March 2023

Schematic
53014 The IEEE Symbol "Open Emitter Pull-up" was incorrectly labeled. It has now been changed to "Open Emitter Pull Down".
53244 When using the new Variant Manager, changes to parameter values and names were not being retained. (BC:19912)
53668 In some cases, the EOleException "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: Unhandled value for TUnit: eDXP" would be encountered.
53935 While open, the ActiveBOM document will now refresh automatically when any related Workspace Library components are modified and saved back to the connected Workspace.
53947 The cross reference information for a port would suddenly jump to the wrong side when directly moving the port from one wire to another.
PCB
50127 In a specific case when copy-pasting a component that is part of a union, saving and opening the target PCB would result in an Access Violation being encountered.
51041 When generating Gerber/Gerber X2 output, regions of copper were being removed from footprints when the "Merge regions and pads inside Footprint" option was enabled.
52128 In some cases, an Access Violation would be encountered when working with comments on the 2D PCB and having the 'Hide pins on design' control enabled (on the Comments and Tasks panel).
52751 In some cases, exporting a PCB to STEP would result in some models not being visible. (BC:19667)
52757 For a specific design, DRC was incorrectly flagging an 'Un-Routed Net Constraint' violation for a hatched polygon that truly had a connection to a pad.
53076 In some cases, dragging a track would result in a silent crash/termination of Altium Designer. (BC:19855)
53607 For a specific design and preferences, an Access Violation (in module ADVPCB.DLL) would be encountered after attempting to drag a track.
53680 Using and configuring the "Enable Fonts Replacement" feature in the Preview dialog did not result in the Stroke fonts being substituted with TT fonts in printed material. (BC:20178)
53684 False clearance violations were being returned for primitives placed on overlapping board regions in Advanced Rigid-Flex mode. (BC:20034)
53825 When exporting a board containing STEP models to Parasolid format (as a single part), some solids were being incorrectly changed to surfaces.
53852 SMD Round Rectangular, Chamfered Rectangular and Custom Shaped pads placed on Solder or Paste layers were not included in generated Gerber, GerberX2 and ODB++ outputs. (BC:20379)
53931 In some cases when viewing the PCB in 3D, double-clicking on a comment entry in the Comments and Tasks panel would result in an Access Violation.
54225 In some cases, an Access Violation would occur when interactively routing using the 'Any Angle' corner style and 'Push Obstacles' mode.
Multi-board
52857 When removing the 'System: Connector' parameter from a child project's PCB connector, the multi-board schematic was not recognizing that removal and synchronizing correctly.
Harness Design
52638 In the Wiring List table object (on a Draftsman document), the 'Gauge' parameter was incorrectly labeled 'Guage'.
52753 When removing a connection point, the two bundle sections either side are now merged into a single bundle.
53215 In the Layout Drawing when adding objects to a Connection Point, the label on the Properties panel (and associated dialog) is now 'Assigned Objects' instead of 'Connectors'.
53218 When placing bundles on the Layout Drawing, 'Any Angle' is now the default placement mode when first opening the document, followed by the last style used during the current session.
53573 The Layout Drawing now supports the Connective Graph feature, to be able to see which connectors are connected to each other.
53587 The UI for defining multiple views of the physical model for a harness component on the Layout Drawing has been further enhanced.
53616 Added the possibility to freely move multiple physical views for a harness component, on the Layout Drawing, independently of one another.
53651 When importing from a multi-board schematic into the Wiring Diagram, not all same-named nets were being imported.
53689 Added Copy and Paste functionality to the Crimps tab of the Properties panel (with a harness component selected on the Wiring Diagram or Layout Drawing).
53718 When assigning objects to connection points you can now see if they are already assigned elsewhere. A warning is also given when attempting to assign an object that is already assigned.
53738 The correct UniqueIDs of crimps/associated parts are now shown in the BOM.
53784 In Draftsman, scaling functionality is now available as part of the properties for the Wiring Diagram View and Layout Drawing View objects.

53808 Workspace-side project parameters are now supported in Draftsman documents and BOM reports.
53815 In some cases when working with managed components, the following error would be encountered: "System.ServiceModel.FaultException: Access denied! User login required for this service".
53854 In a specific case, the error "Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed" was being encountered when accessing the File menu (Alt+F).
53865 In the applicable areas of the UI for managing Part Choices, the menu entry "Create/Edit PCL" has been renamed "Create/Edit Part Choices".
53878 With Part Choices Revision Control enabled for the connected Workspace, it is no longer possible to change ranking for a part choice directly from the Explorer panel.
53917 With Part Choices Revision Control enabled for the connected Workspace, the comparison of part choices (when comparing component revisions) has been enhanced.
53927 In a specific case, the member projects of a saved Project Group (*.DsnWrk) were not visible when that Project Group was closed and reopened.
53944 When batch editing components, changes to part choices would be lost after release if at least one component had a part choice assigned from a custom supplier (local parts database).
53953 When direct editing a Layer Stack item in a Workspace, the document would appear incorrectly in the Free Documents section of the Projects panel after saving.
53985 The 'Welcome to Workspace Library' screen no longer appears in the Components panel when actively working with managed components, including navigation from Web Viewer. (ВС:20321)
54008 A progress bar has been added when releasing a project and publishing it to Teamcenter EDA PLM (using a Workflow process).
54025 When attempting to clone an open Workspace project for which shared access has subsequently been removed, an empty error dialog would be encountered.

54048 In the Library Importer UI, the entry for 'Decibel' was incorrectly spelled 'Dicebel'.
54123 For a specific local PCB project, a catastrophic failure was encountered when attempting to make the project available online (to the connected Workspace).
Import/Export
52852 In some cases, attempting to import an Xpedition design would result in a "File not found" error being encountered.
52863 When importing an Xpedition Library footprint, the pad size was overlapping the region (custom pad) on the top layer.
54006 After exporting a PCB containing custom pad shapes to HyperLynx format, the resulting *.hyp file could not be opened in HyperLynx.
54016 For a specific DXF file, the AutoCAD Importer would throw a message that modification was not permitted with the current license and that changes were being rolled back.

52694 In some cases an EAccessViolation (at address 000000016EC7C132 in module "ADVPCB.DLL") would be encountered.
Data Management
47275 The control to open the Manufacturer Part Search panel from the Replace <Component> dialog (when choosing an alternate part for a variant) has been removed. (BC:17266)
47488 When acquiring a component from the Manufacturer Part Search panel into the Workspace, all datasheets were being added instead of just those selected in the Use Component Data dialog.
51416 With a Workspace project opened in two instances of Altium Designer, one instance (if closed and then opened) would need a manual refresh to see any changes made/saved in the other instance.
51560 Enhanced detection and resolution of duplicate project files, without the need to use an external VCS tool.
51638 Added the ability to export the project history into a PDF through an Output Job.
51837 Enhanced support added for admins to remove design repositories from Workspace (with validation). Also added auto-removal of repository after successful migration of external VCS project.
52297 It was not possible to add a Manufacturer Link to the ActiveBOM when the manual solution was from a custom part provider (synced to the Workspace using PrtSync).
52339 Added a warning dialog when attempting to rename the project file (or a source document) and that file is in the 'Out of date' or 'Conflict' state.
52349 Support added for layer-specific comments on the PCB (in 2D). Focusing a comment will auto-switch to the same view the reviewer had (visible layers, active layer, top/bottom view).
52351 A System.FormatException error would occur if attempting to set a non-numeric value for the Quantity field in a custom row of an ActiveBOM.
52366 The Project Releaser Item Naming Template settings are now stored in the project file, instead of the local Windows registry.
52451 The mention feature with comments does not pop a suggestion list when using the @ symbol and the local language keyboard is used (not EN).
52474 There were problems encountered with automatic task assignment when using the commenting feature.
52555 In some cases when working with comments, the error "System.InvalidCastException" would be encountered.
52587 In some cases, an EAccessViolation in module "EDMSInterface.dll" would be encountered.
52615 When adding an alternative item to the BOM, the Add Alternative Item dialog now remembers your used filters and values, just as the Components panel does.
52616 When removing an alternative group a confirmation dialog will now appear, alerting you that doing so will remove any alternate components assigned to that group from the BOM also.
52656 The active VCS status pop-up window was not displayed correctly if the Projects panel was docked in a position other than on the left. (BC:19688)
52676 For a specific project in an external SVN repository, the Open/Compare right-click commands in the Storage Manager panel would not function correctly. (BC:17509)
52984 In some cases, switching between Pro and Standard Workspaces would result in the Pro Workspace losing features/functionality.
52986 In some cases, it was not possible to add new components or edit existing components in a Workspace Library. (BC:19813)
Import/Export
49342 When importing a specific Mentor Expedition® design, holes/cutouts in copper were not being converted correctly.
51388 In some cases, the EStringListError "String list does not allow duplicates" would be encountered when importing a PADS design using the Import Wizard.
51790 In some cases, an Access Violation in module "LoadPADS.IWZ" would be encountered when importing a PADS design using the Import Wizard.
Simulation
51212 The text "Output Expression" had a typo in the DC Sweep and Transient areas of the Simulation Dashboard.
52279 Running an AC Sweep Analysis with an Output Expression of MAG(v(resistance))) would result in an incorrect value for the AC Voltage.
52310 In some cases, the EOleException "Index was outside the bounds of the array" would be encountered when performing the verification stage.
52371 The model description for the following components was incorrect - CCSW_Hysteresis, CCSW_Smooth_Trans, Switching Capacitor, Photodiode.
52378 Added support for additional PSpice digital model primitives including flip-flops, latches, Pullup, Pulldown, Delay Line and behavioral primitive LOGICEXP.
52379 The performance of the SimData editor has been enhanced with various optimizations, memory buffering and removal of redundant calls.
52398 Added PSpice standard gate components (AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, NXOR, BUF and INV) to the Simulation Generic Components library.
52399 Added PSpice tristate gate components (AND3, OR3, XOR3, NAND3, NOR3, NXOR3, BUF3 and INV3) to the Simulation Generic Components library.
52400 Added the PSpice Digital Generator component to the Simulation Generic Components library.
52403 Ability to view the high-impedance state for digital waveforms in the SimData editor.
52477 There was a typo in the simulation error message "Operating Point Analysis: Failed to Calulate the Operating Point".
52724 For the STIM component, the incorrect starting value was being used for d(pre) in a transient analysis ('0' instead of '1').
52754 When running the verification stage, an error with model syntax was not presented in the Sim Model dialog, while an empty error message was presented in the Messages panel.
52828 The .IC and .NS components from the Simulation Generic Components library were not being added to the generated netlist.
