The following issues might be encountered in the latest release.

Backups not being stored on Mac

We're aware of an issue causing PDA files to fail being backed up on Mac. This issue was fixed in version 6.1.15 for both Windows & Linux. This will be fixed in a later version for Mac users.

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

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.
