[CEV-3291] When applying the parallel offset on closed curves, the orientation of the master curve and the slave curves might be in opposite directions. To overcome this issue, simply select the master curve and reverse it.

[CEV-3695] Fixed: Ability to select lost after changing chain offset
[CEV-3767] Fixed: Picking type (selecting) gets deselected for trapezoids
[CEV-2851] Fixed: Trapezoids: picking type (selecting) does not work after move patch is accepted
[CEV-3710] FEA: Add FEA module support for HyperMesh 2022.2 and 2022.3

[CEV-2021] Fixed: Laminate->right click->create patches not working
[CEV-3250] Fixed: Thickness distribution plot causes deletion of stacks to be very slow
[CEV-3788] Fixed: Adding geometry with JS API adds unnecessary hierarchy in shape
[CEV-3777] Crash: Loading rolling-motion manual-test file fails
[CEV-3802] Crash during visualization of small trapezoid patches

Changes in 23.2.8

[CEV-1612] Duplicate layer command
[CEV-3667] Automatically create patches with length giving best curve fit (per chain)
[CEV-3364] Modify edges in move patch interface
[CEV-3388] Additional shape extraction entries for points

[CEV-3769] Fixed: Angle suggestions can cause an incorrect update of an angle if the respective patch type is already assigned to a patch

[CEV-3774] Fixed: Layer realization state is not correctly restored
[CEV-3758] Fixed: Opening file with unknown optional feature causes deadlock
[CEV-3635] Fixed: "Show only" and "Overlap Lengths" are not working together
[CEV-3430] Fixed: Ply book labels not displayed after "Show only"
[CEV-3171] Fixed: "Show only" doesn't trigger correct visibility update of parent items
[CEV-3005] Fixed: Thickness plot: lower limit does not work (and gets reset to 0)
[CEV-1889] Fixed: Unable to modify lower limit in color plot
[CEV-3771] Fixed: Master curve integration is not working

[CEV-3780] Prepare loading and saving code for future updates: "duringFileOperation" state

Changes in 23.2.7 (compared to 23.2.2)

[CEV-3291] When applying the parallel offset on closed curves, the orientation of the master curve and the slave curves might be in opposite directions. To overcome this issue, simply select the master curve and reverse it
[CEV-3769] Angle suggestions can cause an incorrect update of an angle if the respective patch type is already assigned to a patch

[CEV-3663] Patch geometry refactoring: It enabled a fix for [CEV-3484], and led to faster opening/saving (-25% for one of measured examples), much faster redrawing (-94% (!)) less memory usage (-16%) and smaller fpp file size (-14%). But this change breaks compatibility with Artist Studio 1.1 and earlier.
[CEV-3666] Enable even patch overlap distribution also for open curves
[CEV-3689] Split curve extension and patch creation overlap strategy into two independent settings. Also: JS API was changed
[CEV-3355] Modify patch type per patch
[CEV-3744] Saving - add choice: faster saving or smaller fpp file

[CEV-3733] Add "Optimize angles" feature description to Artist Studio documentation
[CEV-3408] Add angle suggestions for trapezoid patch types based on existing types

[CEV-2324] Fixed: "Systems" item visibility state not correctly restored after loading
[CEV-3638] Fixed: Number of curves shown after loading file is always zero
[CEV-3363] Exported patch shapes should be on surface / no tape thickness offset applied
[CEV-2499] Simulation export does no longer use offset patches
[CEV-3475] Fixed: Right click deselect doesn't work (at least for extractions)
[CEV-3484] Fixed: Patches on edge move after draping
[CEV-3745] Fixed: Patches disappearing below surface
[CEV-3253] Fixed: Moving multiple trapezoid patches only moves one of them
[CEV-3473] Fixed: Previously selected faces still visible (in brown) after removing all extracted faces manually
[CEV-3684] Fixed: After editing extraction manually what is displayed as green does not change
[CEV-3692] Crash when draping patches
[CEV-3698] Crash while changing orientation (for Rolling motion) of a patch in Patch Artist.
[CEV-3701] Fixed: Visualization of rolling motion gripper not solid after loading a file with rolling motion
[CEV-3702] Fixed: Rolling motion movements not generated correctly
[CEV-3719] Crash during parallel patch creation
[CEV-3720] Crash opening test file with coarse patch mesh and complex surface geometry
[CEV-3707] Fixed: Layer boundary not respected
[CEV-3636] Crash when clicking on gripper box when trapezoids are enabled

[CEV-3213] Add a way to unselect whole laminate while creating/recreating data set

[CEV-3738] An installation of Autodesk® Inventor® can cause Artist Studio to crash during file browsing. This issue can't be directly resolved by us, we therefore added a warning to the documentation
