DATE: April 28, 2000 Discovered By: Yvan Leipold

DATE: May 15, 2000 Discovered By: Tim Nolte

&PICTURE -TYPE MESH -DETAIL does not work properly. It uses the maximum distance parameter in database units instead of output units, hence the refinement is not small enough by either a factor of 1/12 or 1/39 depending on the dimensions.

REV NO: REV 510.019

DATE: May 18, 2000 Discovered By: Yvan Leipold

Description Of Problem

The ldgforce command produces a report with only 7 character nodes names.

REV NO: REV 510.020

DATE: June 13, 2000 Discovered By: Dave Kummer

Description Of Problem

REV NO: REV 510.024

DATE: June 13, 2000 Discovered By: Dave Kummer

Description Of Problem

Sometimes Windows would refuse to create a colored brush. When this happened, the background would turn white. This fix changes from using a command device context to using an owner device context. This allows one to only create brushes when colors change. This at least reduces the problem. Also included is a change to not erase the background. This minimizes grey streaks appearing as a window is refreshed.

REV NO: REV 510.025

DATE: June 14, 2000 Discovered By: Dave Kummer

Description Of Problem

Fix REV 510.022 was not complete. There were some planes which would not show up. Also, this fix changes things which have connectors. Sometimes with connectors, the picture would not be centered.

Description Of Problem

The last fix induced a problem that may cause a picture not to be plotted unless it is annotated.

REV NO: REV 510.028

DATE: July 18, 2000 Discovered By: Yvan Leipold

REV NO: REV 510.029

DATE: July 18, 2000 Discovered By: Yvan Leipold

Description Of Problem

If one uses s_response without setting the environment to that used in s_response, the page titles will not be correct. The results, however, are correct.
