Version 24.3.1

Build: 35 Date: 19 March 2024

Schematic
58798 In a specific case, copying an existing schematic (with signal harnesses) for use in a new project would result in false 'conflicting harness definition' errors after validation.
59129 In some cases, the exception "This operation is not supported for a relative URI" would be encountered.
59207 The ability to access Font Settings for a placed parameter set, through the Properties panel, would stop working.
59306 A net label link in a note or text frame would not work if the target net label was present on multiple schematic documents in the project.
59378 For a specific design, running 'Update PCB' multiple times would lead to the ECO repeatedly detecting changes, but applying them to different connector components on the PCB.
59379 Sorting by Designator in the Symbol Wizard was not sorting correctly by value, resulting in (for example) '1, 10, 11, 2, 3...' instead of '1, 2, 3,...,10, 11'. (BC:21550)
59380 Pasting a circuit fragment from the Clipboard panel into a schematic would result in an image, rather than the original copied objects. (BC:22489)

57679 Enhanced the preview and parameter placement for the Sawtooth tuning pattern UI in the Properties panel, to bring greater clarity.
59016 When editing certain objects (e.g. polygon pour, via stitching), the blue action bar that appears in the Properties panel would cause all other elements to move downward.
59058 For a panelized PCB, generation of Gerber/Gerber X2 data was incorrect if the 'Merge regions and pads inside Footprint' option was enabled. (BC:21351)
59102 The padstack naming with respect to solder/paste masks in pad/via templates was incorrect. (BC:22597)
59253 Enhanced error notifications when using the Layout Replication tool, with detection for a missing pin connection in the selected Source Block, with cross-probing to aid in fixing.
59345 When running the PCB Layout Replication tool there is now indication that replication is being performed, with the possibility to cancel out of the process.
59432 In some cases, placing a reuse block/snippet in a PCB document (directly or synced from schematic) would result in an AV (in module 'ADVPCB.DLL') being encountered. (BC:22616, BC:22934)
59441 In some cases when generating ODB++ output through an OutJob, individual polygon pours and regions were being merged as a single surface polygon object.
