Version 10.4.8 - 21/06/2010
Fixed
* SR24689 annotative blocks were not displayed.
* SR24776: "Polar" and "Relative Polar" tooltip (shown while tracking of e.g. line) was not translatable.
* SR24743: fixed validation for KATAKANA MIDDLE DOT character in block name
* SR24379, SR17333: Toolbars no longer stack to the left when the Bricscad window is resized (made smaller) horizontally. (And also don't stack to the top when the window is resized vertically). Toolbars that become invisible by the new window size, remain where they are and become visible again when the window size increases.
* SR24339: hatch pattern validation routine first checks patterns cache, and only if it's not been created searches pattern in .pat files
* SR24732: After copy-pasting an insert the number of references for its block did not increase. The same problem was fixed with the referencecount of image definitions.
* SR17873: Eliminated error (An error occurred while rendering entity: Invalid index), appeared on processing of polyline with zero number of vertexes.
* SR24789 polyline with thickness was not displayed in shaded mode.
