AD14.3.12 Bugs

I installed AD14.3.11 today and did some regression testing of the release using one of my previously known good AD14.2.5 designs.


In AD14.2.5 there was no differences found between the schematic and the layout.



In AD14.3.11 there was differences found between the schematic and the layout.
Also in AD14.3.12 there was differences found between the schematic and the layout.














And Execute Changes appears to work since status check and done are both green.

However if I try to import changes again I find that I have I'm in an endless loop of checking and executing changes that are never resolved.

The problem is associated with Parameter Set Directives and the new clearance rule features.























I suspect this problem was introduced with the new AD14.3 clearance rule feature.



















That's It
