\u25c7 Line Design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Insert Pole<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25b8 Defect: Split spans\nand insert pole was not adding a Load Case to the newly created pole when this\ntool was used to add a new pole to a Line Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25b8 Improvement: Split\nspans and insert pole now adds a default load case to the newly created pole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Horizontal\nScale<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25b8 Defect: On some\nmachines, after changing the horizontal scale, focus would remain on the\nHorizontal Scale tool. This could cause an unintended change in Horizontal\nScaling the next time an action was performed in the 3D view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25b8 Correction: Changing\nHorizontal Scale will no longer be changed if another action is performed in\nthe 3D view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf Move Here<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
