O/19.6 Release Notes

The following provides fixed and known issues in the latest version O/19.6

Important Information:

The 3DDI Adobe Illustrator plug-in will be available later in July.
3DDI O/19.6 only works with blocks generated with PDS O/19.6. Customers should first install PDS O/19.6, re-export their blocks, and then use them in 3DDI O/19.6.
As a reminder to users, avatars that were created in old versions may not work properly with the latest versions, O/19.6 included. In order to use the avatars, users should do one of the following things:

In the Avatar Editor, copy the sizes from the old avatar to the new one (click here to view more details)
In the Avatar Editor, manually adjust the avatar to the desired size, according to the old avatar.

Defect ID	Summary	Workaround
PDS-3D
TD-14875	Changing/updating stitches and trims is not reflected in FBX/3DDI export	Save the PDS file with 3D, then re-load saved PDS file and do FBX/3DDI export
TD-14825	Old Visual stitches textures do not appear correctly when opening files created in previous Optitex PDS versions	All visual stitch textures should be rotated 90 degrees in the Shader Manager to display them correctly. This is following the improvement in Visual stitch functionality to display them in real size and according to baseline, matching the textures display. To rotate save fbx from shader manager, rotate in image editor and then re-load the rotated textures in all Variants and Articles. Alternatively rotate all visual stitch textures in shader manager by 90 degrees to be horizontal.
TD-14619	Wrong initial position of "Arm" location for pieces within the same group	To synchronize group pieces, user needs to select all the group pieces and then press Synchronize. Their Cylindrical Percentage also need to be changed together, because they are a group which acts like one piece.
TD-14404	The location of the 3D Move/Rotate tools is far from the selected piece	Some old avatars created in earlier versions with mating lines based on STEP format have a little patch that offsets avatar center. The user can delete this patch and it would fix the problem. In version O/19.6 and higher, in Avatar Editor, the user can select the patch by LMB+Ctrl, delete selected patch by Shift+Del and save the avatar.
TD-14866	When switching sizes in Avatar Editor, operation takes time
TD-14860	Following save as FBX file format, segment shapes that have a "Flip" texture attribute may appear corrupted in the 3D window.	Click "Update now" to get segment shapes appear correctly in 3D window
TD-14856	Clicking default button when Automotive industry selected, does not select "Use Regular Tessellation" property	Select "Use Regular Tessellation" property manually and click "OK"
TD-14839	PDS crashes when Bending field is empty	Use always 0.01 as a minimum value
TD-14745	Button turns black in HQR if it has texture applied to it	Use OpenGL & PR3D rendering engines to visualize the garment
TD-14480	Mirror attribute does not work on Article level when logo applied as pattern	To create a tiled logo, place it on the Variant level
