2024 SP05 is now available for download

[Stefan Sterk]

Just noticed SW24 SP05 is downloadable. Who has tried already?
They have addressed 23 SPR's for this SP.

Will most likely give it a shot within the next 2 weeks to test-run it on our side and see if we're sticking to 2023 or moving to 2024.

Thanks, I installed 2024 and got everything setup for user installs in November. I am not using it yet for work, so I don't know any issues there, but the setup went fine.

I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, but it’s good to hear they’ve fixed so many issues.

There was a nasty bug a last or so SP ago that kept resetting the cursor to the beginning of the property field when adding a dimension or function in custom properties... That has been fixed and well worth the update because we do this often!

This will also most probably be the last SP for 2024 unless there's any new problems introduced in this one

Haven’t had a chance to dive in yet, but fixing 23 SPRs sounds promising.

**This was driving me insane for ages. I can't believe such simple functions break that aren't even changed directly so much. Its the biggest pain in the proverbial that is probably SW's biggest continuous frustration (little things breaking or doing weird sh*t for no reason). I had to go test this to make sure it was fixed and...

It's broken in other ways...

Open Properties and select a property to add information.
Type something and go to model and click feature to bring up dimensions and click a dim to add it to the properties...
as soon as i move the cursor it deactivates the Properties Dialog and one can't simply start typing and it takes a painful amount of clicking to get the cursor to behave and select the location to continue typing.

What a damn pain in the @$$. WTF. Is my install hosed? (will test it on another install later but its a pretty clean system so i doubt it).

I can click multiple DIMs to add more then one even though the Properties Dialog deactivates... but doing anything else is broken (and painful) AF**. I used to be able to Instert a DIM by clicking it, hover the mouse over the Properties dialog and continue typing, then click another DIM to add it and all was fine.

SP5 in assembly - Check previous version with any sub assembly suppressed crashes SolidWorks every time.

Don't know if this is SP5 specific but I can't remember it happening in SP3, maybe I didn't have sub assemblies ever suppressed when I used it in SP3. Not sure on that.

Also seems to do it when a part is suppressed in a assembly as well. Unsuppress part and it works again.

So is that what is going on! Every so often SW crashes while I am working with other programs & I could not figure out what was going on! I quite often have sub assemblies suppressed while working in my assemblies!

Seems to be for me, every time I use the function -
Evaluate - Previous Release Check
It crashes in a assembly if anything is supressed.
