===5-sided enclosure welding===

===Anti Virus Software Flagged Designer As Suspicious===
Designs using the 5-sided enclosure template do not include plug welding in the quote.
+
We can assure you that Protocase Designer is properly signed, verified, and does not contain any malicious code. However, some antivirus programs, such as McAfee, may flag lesser-known applications or recently updated software as suspicious due to heuristic analysis or false positives.
  
===Hanging splash screen on linux - Designer 4.7 not compatible with OpenJDK included in Ubuntu 18.04===
+
If you encounter this issue, we recommend the following steps:
Designer will not launch with the current version of OpenJDK. This may cause the splash screen to hang when attempting to load Designer.
+
* Ensure your antivirus applications are up to date, as false positives are sometimes resolved in newer updates.
We suggest using the Oracle JDK with Designer.
+
* If possible, try scanning the file with another reputable antivirus or using VirusTotal (https://www.virustotal.com/) to check for any concerns.
 +
* You may need to whitelist Protocase Designer within your antivirus software.
  
===Default Ubuntu 18.04 Driver issue===
+
If you continue experiencing issues, you may also report this false positive to your antivirus provider so they can review and correct it.
There is an issue in JOGL that prevents the loading of Designer 4.7 on Ubuntu 18.04 with the default Nouveau graphics drivers. You may need to use the drivers supplied by your graphics card manufacturer to use Designer.
 
  
===Issue when changing your home directory===
+
===Windows Protected Your PC===
In the latest version of Designer, there is an issue when changing your home directory to a root directory. (d:\, for example). This may cause Designer to freeze. Creating a directory off of the root and setting that to your home directory is the current workaround for that. This will be resolved in the next release of Designer.
+
This issue was due to a code signing certificate error and has been fixed as of v7.0.16 released on November 18, 2024. If you still encounter this issue after this version, please contact us.
  
===Running Designer on Linux with MESA===
+
===New Library Item Origin===
While running Designer on a Linux virtual machine with the latest version of MESA, we encountered a glXCreatePbuffer error.
+
There is currently a bug when creating a new library item via the Library Manager and assigning a new origin location, that it will always default to the lower-left corner regardless of what is chosen. This will be fixed in a future release of Protocase Designer.
This is due to an issue in the graphics library used in Designer. Until this is resolved, we do not recommend running Designer with this combination of software.
 
  
===Cover on 5-sided enclosure may appear shifted on reload===
+
===Welding Jig Visible===
In version 4.6.16, if seam weld is selected on a 5-sided enclosure with a one piece base, the cover may appear shifted from its origin when reloaded. This may cause confusion when trying to align objects on the cover.
+
As of version 6.0.6 welding jigs became visible for all users. These welding jigs are intended to only display for Protocase users and are not to be edited. Please update to the latest version ASAP to resolve this. If you had already edited a welding jig in your design, you can use the Transfer feature to transfer the features of the welding jig to the intended parts that should be edited.
This will be corrected in version 4.7.
 
  
===L-shape and rackmount enclosures===
+
===Failure To Instant Quote===
L-shape and rackmount enclosure designs created before January 2013, when loaded into the current Designer version, might have offset cutouts. If you encounter this problem, please email the design file to designersupport@protocase.com stating the problem, and we will manually convert the file for you at no charge.  
+
If you are receiving an error upon instant quoting, please check to see if your company uses a network configured such that your computer accesses the internet through a proxy server, if a proxy is used you can configure Designer to use the proxy settings. See instructions on how to do this below:
  
===Windows 10===
+
[https://www.protocasedesigner.com/wiki/index.php?title=Quick_Start#Installing_Protocase_Designer Configure Proxy Settings In Designer]
There was an issue in Windows 10 Tablet Mode that would cause the Protocase Designer Menu Bar to be hidden. <br />This has been resolved in the latest Windows 10 automatic update.
 
  
===Image Load Error for .JPG files===
+
If the error you're receiving mentions "PKIX path building failed" please see [https://www.protocasedesigner.com/wiki/index.php?title=PKIX_Path_Building_Failure here]
Some .JPG files do not import with the Java tools used for Protocase Designer.<br /> If you receive an error message ("Unable to load image...") when attempting to place a .JPG file on a face, we recommend that you convert the .JPG to a bitmap format, such as .PNG. <br />If for any reason you cannot save the .JPG as a bitmap, one program that works very well for converting images is [http://www.imagemagick.org '''ImageMagick'''], which is free and runs with Unix, Mac OS X, iOS, and Windows.
 
  
===Computer enclosure templates===

===Cutouts may shift when exported to DXF===
The computer enclosure templates allow you to specify dimensions that are below the minimum sizes required to accommodate the cutouts or PEM layouts.

The following issues might be encountered in the latest release.

Network Requests Fail with Certificate Error (PKIX Path Building Failed)

Some customers may encounter the following error when using features in ProtocaseDesigner that make outgoing network requests:

PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException

This error occurs when Java is unable to validate the SSL certificate presented by the server you're connecting to. ProtocaseDesigner is packaged with its own embedded Java runtime (JRE). This JRE included a bundled certificate store (cacerts) that does not automatically include custom or system-installed certificates.

If your organization uses a custom internal certificate authority (CA) OR intercepts HTTPS traffic (e.g., via a proxy or firewall with SSL inspection), the Java runtime may reject the certificate because it doesn't recognize it as trusted.

Please see here for instructions on a work-around to the problem.

Anti Virus Software Flagged Designer As Suspicious

We can assure you that Protocase Designer is properly signed, verified, and does not contain any malicious code. However, some antivirus programs, such as McAfee, may flag lesser-known applications or recently updated software as suspicious due to heuristic analysis or false positives.

If you encounter this issue, we recommend the following steps:

  • Ensure your antivirus applications are up to date, as false positives are sometimes resolved in newer updates.
  • If possible, try scanning the file with another reputable antivirus or using VirusTotal (https://www.virustotal.com/) to check for any concerns.
  • You may need to whitelist Protocase Designer within your antivirus software.

If you continue experiencing issues, you may also report this false positive to your antivirus provider so they can review and correct it.

Windows Protected Your PC

This issue was due to a code signing certificate error and has been fixed as of v7.0.16 released on November 18, 2024. If you still encounter this issue after this version, please contact us.

New Library Item Origin

There is currently a bug when creating a new library item via the Library Manager and assigning a new origin location, that it will always default to the lower-left corner regardless of what is chosen. This will be fixed in a future release of Protocase Designer.

Welding Jig Visible

As of version 6.0.6 welding jigs became visible for all users. These welding jigs are intended to only display for Protocase users and are not to be edited. Please update to the latest version ASAP to resolve this. If you had already edited a welding jig in your design, you can use the Transfer feature to transfer the features of the welding jig to the intended parts that should be edited.

Failure To Instant Quote

If you are receiving an error upon instant quoting, please check to see if your company uses a network configured such that your computer accesses the internet through a proxy server, if a proxy is used you can configure Designer to use the proxy settings. See instructions on how to do this below:

Configure Proxy Settings In Designer

If the error you're receiving mentions "PKIX path building failed" please see here

Cutouts may shift when exported to DXF

There was an issue in limited cases where cutouts shifted when exported to DXF. This has been corrected as of Aug 2nd, 2019, but a small number of orders may have been affected. If you experience this issue, please contact your account manager.

Computer enclosure welding

In the ATX and Mini-ITX templates, both the Has Seam Welds and Has Tack Welds options can be selected. If both are selected, Protocase will perform only the seam welds.
