9) The Equipment application Option list selections are not handled correctly. (4509, 4510)

10) The ‘Head’ and ‘Tail’ type markers do not resize during an ‘align with feature’ operation when the view is
zoomed in. (4568)
11) When using two docking forms, for example pipe component creation and pipe creation, both open and
tabbed together, it can happen that pressing a button on one will activate the other. (4700)
12) Under some circumstances, the General Model Editor handle is incorrectly used in place of the Pipe
Component Modification handle. (4863)
13) The use of proportional fonts makes screen reports very difficult to read: they will be changed to use
columns. (5087)
14) With a sheet consisting of more than one view, the preview for offset section planes is not clear. (5154)
15) Export does not export leave rod from hangers. HPD 25543 (5051)
16) A docking form that is undocked will not show ToolTips on pixmap buttons. (5284)
17) Wigwam overflow crash when drawing a model (created using ImPLANT) with a very large number of
EXTRUsions. Existing checks are inadequate and need to be extended to the number of vertices per
significant element. (5406)
18) Error 21s (Primitive Group too long) from GOPPLN, when drawing large models created using
ImPLANT. Existing checks need to be extended. Splitting or simplifying the model will usually help. (5680)

etc.(5427,5428)
20) Certain changes are treated incorrectly during reconfiguration of extracts (5613)
