You can now mark the fabrication status of a connection. The fabrication status is different from Design Status (which is a "calculation" status). Each status is assigned a color.
Search and Mark objects have new options that allow you to mark joints according to Approval Status or search by Approval Status.
When you create a new joint using the Create by Template or Create by Template, Multiple commands, the original joint Approval Status is not transferred - it will be Not Set.
When you create a new joint using the Create Joint in a Joint Group or Create Joint in a Joint Group, Multiple commands, the master joint Approval Status is transferred - the new joint's Approval Status will be the same as the master joint's Approval Status.
When you create a new joint using the Add Joint to a Joint Group command, the master joint Approval Status is transferred - the new joint's Approval Status will be the same as the master joint's Approval Status. When you use the Remove Joint from a Joint Group command, Approval Status doesn't change.
If a joint is removed from a joint group (_AstorDetachSlaveJointFromMaster), the detached joint approval status will remain the same as before.
