Following issues were resolved:

• Status bar does not show elevation for polar coordinates
• Some dimensions are not created as annotative using annotative dim styles
• Several crashes and a freeze

Also two new system variables were introduced to help to workaround crashes in some specific circumstances:

• DOTNETENABLED - setting it to 0 will disable all .NET functionality. This allows to avoid a crash related to video drivers for Nvidia Quadro video cards. Default value is 1.
• SAVETHUMBNAILS - setting it to 0 will disable drawing thumbnail generation on save. This allows to avoid a crash on save on some systems. Setting it to 1 or 2 will enable one of two ways of generation. Default value is 3, which allows both ways of generation.

New build of Carlson 2015 / IntelliCAD 8.0 (150218) is posted

New Carlson 2015 / IntelliCAD 8.0 build (150218) is now available for testing.

Major change is the optional new Properties Pane component.
If you have experienced problems with Properties Pane in previous builds, you may want to try new one:
   1) Paste following command to the command line (including parenthesis) and hit Enter:
      (setvar "ENTPROPAPP" "proppalette.irx")
   2) Restart Carlson+IntelliCAD
After that new Properties Pane component will be used instead of old one. You should notice that it looks a bit different, more like AutoCAD's one.

If you want to switch back to old Properties Pane:
   1) Paste following command to the command line and hit Enter:
      (setvar "ENTPROPAPP" "")
   2) Restart Carlson+IntelliCAD

Some examples of other fixes included to the new build:
- ORTHO issue was fixed
- Fixed some MTEXT editor issues with indentation
- Solved problem with rotated symbols during printing
- Fixed some deadlocks on opening drawings / moving CRD points
