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) |
| 59686 | When running the Make Schematic Library command from a schematic using managed components, the error "An item with the same key has already been added" would be encountered. |
| 60060 | When opening a previous VCS Revision of a schematic from the Storage Manager panel, the error "object reference not set to an instance of an object" would be encountered. (BC:22890) |
| 60124 | After clicking on the 'Edit Supplier Links' button in the Part Choices region of the Properties panel, the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" would be encountered. |

| 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. |
| 59473 | For a specific design, running the Board » Create Primitives From Board Shape command would result in an AV (at address 00007FFBDC93DE96 in module ‘Altium.PCB.DataModel.X.dll'). |
