The following issues might be encountered in the latest release.

5-sided enclosure with wall mounts

When you attempt to quote a 5-sided enclosure with wall mounts, Designer opens the Design Errors dialog which states that the wall mounts require a hole for hanging parts to add the powdercoat, and if you select "Fix error," the Edit Assembly dialog opens (erroneously). The warning can safely be ignored, since the wall mounts are welded on so they are not hung separately from the chassis. The defective warning and response will be fixed in the next release.

In addition, a Plug Welding check box will be added to the template in a future release. Until then, please add a Note requesting it.

Creating a cutout in the Cutout Library

As of Version 4.5, after creating a cutout in the Cutout Library, when you click Accept and Close, the cutout appears to have been deleted, but it is still there. Exit and relaunch Designer to restore access to it. (This will be fixed in the next beta release.)

Installation on Mac OSX

As of Version 4.5, installation of Designer on Mac OSX requires Java 1.6 to be installed. A newer Java version will be bundled with a Designer Beta version soon to be released, which will not require you to install Java.

Mirror Y

When you click Mirror Y for an object (including text), the object does not stay in the exact same place, and you can get a Boundary Warning even if it is nowhere near a boundary. Until this is fixed, simply accept the placement, then move it back where you wanted.

Vector graphics

Designer does not support the display of vector files, but the production of enclosures with graphics at Protocase does require their use. For details, see Adding Images.

L-shape and rackmount enclosures

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 designer@protocase.com stating the problem, and we will manually convert the file for you at no charge.

Loading personal cutouts

Cutout Library Manager > Create Sub Assembly: When loading an item you have created, it is not yet displayed in the 3D View.

Placing a PEM

When placing a PEM or screw, if you click any tool, the items are placed and shown in the 3D View exactly as if you had clicked the Accept & Close button, but those items are not accepted, quoted or saved.
