This is a selection of issues fixed with the 2023.0 release.

Netfabb

CAD support

Note Key
Fixed an issue that caused a part imported from a SAT file to be mirrored NC-14792

Cutting

Note Key
Fixed an Assertion failed error when trying to move a free-cut stencil corner while viewing it exactly edge-on NC-14779

File formats

Note Key
Fixed an issue that caused failure to load OBJ files NC-14897
Fixed an issue that caused an error loading badly written VRML files (containing empty shape nodes) NC-14985

GUI and workflows

Note Key
Fixed an issue that kept the expanded tooltips of menu items open when they should have closed automatically NC-13034
Caught more icons not being scaled correctly on 4K displays NC-13248
Fixed an issue that would cause the uniform remeshing in Mesh manipulation to throw an error if the edge preservation angle was left at its default value even when that function wasn't used. NC-15003

Labeling

Note Key
Improved the robustness of labeling against placement failure due to close walls or partial overhangs above the target surface NC-13376

Machine workspaces

Note Key
Fixed placeholder text in Stratasys Origin One machine NC-14611
Fixed error "file data/support_config.xml not found in container" upon trying to generate supports in an NXT QLS350 machine NC-14623
Fixed source of Lua error when loading a project containing a (now Stratasys) Origin One machine NC-14643
Fixed an Access violation error during buildfile export from the Concept Laser machine NC-14682
Fixed parameter only every n-th stripe being ignored in Slicing and workspace toolpathing NC-14708
Fixed password prompt appearing on opening an EBPA that had no password set in the first place NC-14813
Fixed the laser field order of Additive Industries machine support. The correct order is #4-#3-#2-#1 in positive X direction. NC-14841
Fixed errors in buildfile export for 3D4MEC machines NC-14923
Fixed an issue in the Rapid Shape engine that would cause the inclusion of a zero-length layer image, causing the whole buildfile to be corrupted NC-14941

My machines

Note Key
Fixed a bug that caused a 3D Mectronic machine to appear with placeholder text in the project tree after loading a project with a machine that had no corresponding My Machines record NC-14681

Packers

Note Key
Fixed missing localization in size sorting packer NC-12774

Repair

Note Key
Identified and rectified a source for an "Assertion failed" error on attempting to split non-manifold edges in a particularly hopelessly broken model, and added a less mysterious error message. NC-13060
Made Repair more robust against never-ending loading of STL files with badly damaged parts with certain configurations of holes NC-13297
Identified and rectified a source for Netfabb crashing when stitching certain broken models NC-14642
Fixed access violation error happening during attempted repair of triangle mesh with corrupt triangle data NC-14819

Manual slicing

Note Key
Made importing Binary CLI slice files more robust against file writers using CRLF instead of just LF in the header NC-13674
Aligned and corrected parameters for layer filter in slicing and workspace toolpathing. NC-14573
Slicing statistics no longer skips layers that have no toolpath content from any slice stack present NC-14636
Fixed a bug that caused an irrecoverable error and a prompt to close Netfabb when moving the group of a restored source slice stack from one platform to another NC-14620

Supports

Note Key
Fixed an issue that caused incorrect handling and preprocessing of thickened open volume support upon sending it from Netfabb to Simulation Utility NC-13250
Fixed an issue in support generation where closed-wall polyline support would generate jagged and irregular if the thickness of the wall approached the triangle size along the supported stretch NC-14697
Fixed a bug where a refresh of generated support after retessellation of the part would refresh the support with an incorrect result NC-14740
Fixed a bug in bar supports generation that caused certain pad height values to produce incorrect transitions from bar to pad NC-14918
Fixed an inconsistency where the stand angle would apply for volumes differently depending on whether they were created as closed volumes or open and structured ones. NC-14943

Misc

Note Key
Exporting parts directly as CLI slice files should no longer lead to "secretly" overwriting files with existing names and should generate names with suffixes instead (eg. "_2") NC-13339
Significantly reworked baseplate generation to mitigate against triangulation errors that could lead to symptoms like floating or detached baseplates NC-14635

ATU

Note Key
Fixed an issue that would fail to update the platform scene boundaries when the platform size changes, such as during switch of machines NC-14645
Fixed an issue that made the Part entry in the context menu of the toolpath preview disappear when the layer thickness is changed NC-15001
Fixed an issue in bsFile that prevented proper conversion from little-endian to big-endian byte format NC-14899
Fixed a number of issues in smoke simulation that prevented proper detection of laser-and-smoke collision NC-14921
Fixed an issue in smoke simulation that caused detection of laser-and-smoke collision for ignored smoke NC-14962
Made loading of projects created with older ATU versions more robust NC-14855
Changing the layer thickness no longer resets part parameter profile to default NC-14987
Fixed the unit for the focus in EBPA configurations for Renishaw. It was asking for micrometers. It is now asking correctly in millimeters. NC-14673
Using UNC-style filepaths no longer throws an error message. Using the workaround of assigning a local drive letter to such a share and using filepaths based on that is no longer necessary. NC-14639
