Build 946 Change List
1. When reading Interop data (STEP/IGES/CATIA etc) and if there is no associated color, the app now uses the default pen color. Previously data would get a green color.
2. When in a dynamic viewing operation, anti-alias is now automatically turned off (if you have it on) and back on when completed, yielding a significant speed boost.
3. "Use Vertex Arrays" option was not getting saved from session to session. Use vertex arrays can speed up performance by 2x.
4. View Navigator spin was not following the dynamic render mode.
5. When render mode (static or dynamic) was set to flat, edges were still displayed.
6. Minimized adding and setting of color properties per face per solid. One benchmark showed a 2x increase in speed.
7. The transparent window flag was incorrectly getting set for viewball resulting in a disappearing window when doing viewing operations. PC only issue.
8. ViaCAD 2D gripper was not always displayed.
9. Insert text cursor graphic issues.
