| 28427 | Added ability to place dimensions in PCB lib, which do not appear in PCB layout (BC:903). |
| 28428 | Added ability to create 3D Bodies from selected tracks, arcs and solid regions. Use Tools>Convert>Create 3D Body From selected primitives (BC:1868). |
| 28441 | Pressing the L shortcut to flip a moving component to the other side of the board no longer causes incorrect pad violations to be displayed (BC:5427). |
| 29176 | During a layer transition while interactive routing the 6 shortcut key can be used to cycle available via options. This now includes all possible via combinations, for example uVia + blind via. |
| 29179 | Added possibility to move strings on overlay layers in 3D mode (BC: 584). |
| 29262 | Fixed regression in PCB 3D body snap points where an added custom snap point could not be selected when using the Position 3D Body tool. |
| 29269 | DRC no longer falsely detects Minimum Annular Ring errors after the Remove Unused Pad Shape tool has been used to remove unused pad/via donuts (BC:4701). |
| 29698 | Resolved outstanding situations where the Flipped On Layer setting was incorrectly being enabled for a component, including: flipping a component while moving then performing an Undo; using a Paste on Current Layer feature (Alt+Ins or Paste Special) to swap layers while pasting; or importing preferences from an older version that had that setting enabled (BC: 9238 ; BC:10235). |
| 29727 | Fixed regression where it was not possible to paste special characters into the Text property box of a text string (BC:10221). |
| 29778 | Resolved an issue where the PCB editor performance would degrade after using the RMB to drag the view multiple times. |
| 29786 | Zoom behavior in the PCB Rules and Violations panel improved - now zooms to the violation detail instead of the violating objects (BC:7987). |
| 29887 | Resolved an issue where transparent objects in a 3D model became visible during a 3D command, such as Create from 3D Body, Align Face with Board, or Measure 3D Objects (BC:8699). |
| 29932 | New query keywords added: IsBlindVia, IsBuriedVia, IsMicroVia and IsThruVia. |
| 30270 | Fixed an issue where highlighting did not work when dragging a PCB component designator while in 3D mode. |
