OVERVIEW - Known issues Magics

Overview of known issues in Magics 27 and higher

 

# Area Issue Affected Magics versions
  Machine Manager integration Gas flow angle defined on Machine Manager portal will show correct direction of the Gas flow on platform scenes only for values: 0, 90,180, 270 or 360 degrees. 27.x
  Machine Manager integration In rare cases, for rectangular platforms with rounded corners defined on Machine Manager - the platform won’t be visualized in Magics. 27.x
  Machine Manager integration Field overlaps that aren’t connected to two opposite sides of the platform won’t be visualized on the platform scene in Magics. 27.x
94765 BREP handling In specific cases, some edges causing failure of Fillet operation are not rendered in error state 27.x
1057809 BREP handling In some cases, a BREP Tensile bar primitive might have wrong orientation upon creation that can be adjusted manually afterwards.  27.x
1035475 BREP handling In some cases, filleting a convergent body might result in error.  27.x
1043380 CO-AM integration CO-AM part is considered as modified after Translate + Copy operation  27.x
985667 CO-AM integration Undo/Redo operations don’t change the state of "Save part to CO-AM" button  27.x
1061307 CO-AM integration Operations recorded for a specific part revision in CO-AM can include some positioning and supports changes from other parts  27.x
  Import & Export Missing CAD import(s) after Magics upgrade 27.01, 27.02
908031 Import & Export In certain cases, no warning is shown asking the user to save a BREP part/ BREP part scene  27.x
965412 Import & Export Select orientation: when clicking close, all subsequent part loading is cancelled regardless of "Apply to all" state.  27.x
1059055 Import & Export Part selection can not be saved to matamx files  27.x
1036953 Import & Export Importing of files via MatConvert is not possible if the file path is longer than 256 characters. (MatConvert known issue)  27.x
1012231 Import & Export In rare cases, importing part on the platform can block ‘Select Orientation’ dialog resulting in an infinite Magics hang. As workaround, the ‘Select Orientation’ dialog should be disabled in Magics settings. 27.x
940866 Import & Export Unicode characters are not supported when exporting a BREP model to STEP   27.x
888940 Import & Export Concept of colours for BREP models is not fully supported yet, only face colours are being preserved upon import of a part.  27.x
964608 Import & Export File preview of Magics files containing BREP models is not shown.  27.x
1026937 Other Magics is not considering the concept of sRGB  All
1062133 Other After uninstallation, the uninstalled Magics version is still available in the Windows ‘open with’ list  27.x
1062425 Other No desktop icon/shortcut is created in case Magics is not installed in the default destination folder  27.x
  Other Titles of items in History are all called Database. 27.x
  Other Some of the default shortcuts and context menu are still missing. 27.x
1044967 Other Rapidfit command is not present in default UI profile however it can be launched from the quick search in the platform layout.   27.x
  Other In some cases, for Top/Bottom plane operation, ‘Indicate plane’ button should be re-activated to make it work after changing part selection.     27.x
  Other The name of original part is not restored after Undo of multiple operations. 27.x
1055765 Other The zone legend is missing in the ‘Check Slices Distribution’ graph  27.x
1063150 Other The point legend is missing in the ‘Compare Points’ graph under Simulation  27.x
1064544 Other Upon importing preferences from a another Magics installation (either via import settings, or upon launching a newly installed Magics version), Magics will also update the MatConvert version settings.  This could cause Magics to use an older MatConvert that does not contain the latest compatibility or functionality needed to fully use Magics.   For Magics 27 it is recommended to use MatConvert 10.4 or higher.  This can be set in Settings > Modules > MatConvert  all until Magics 27.02
  Support Generation Failure to save SG profile in Magics 27 27.0, 27.01
  Support Generation Disabling the showing of perforations in supports can lead to supports overlapping with a part. 27.x
  Support Generation Situations where a part that has a surface that is (partially) closer than 1mm to the platform and that is supported by trees with angling applied, can lead to incorrect tree supports being generated. 27.x
  Support Generation The ‘Trim supports on other parts’ functionality might not work as expected when used in combination with post-processing. 27.x
  Support Generation The ‘Trim supports on other parts’ functionality might not work as expected when used with tree supports and a part intersecting the tree supports is moved. 27.x
  Support Generation The ‘Trim supports on other parts’ functionality might not work as expected when moving the part on which support structures of another part rests. 27.x
  Support Generation When the creation of manual tree support is interrupted before the tree support is generated, an empty support surface can remain. This support surface can be removed manually. 27.x
  Support Generation In some cases where block support is used, the state of the parameter ‘GENERAL > Critical points > Local minima support > Adjust hatching’ can influence the state of the parameter ‘Add point support > Align with hatching’. 27.x
  Support Generation Modifying a support surface (e.g., adding or removing triangles) with Tree supports and using ‘regenerate’ button will not update the Tree supports with the modified surface. Changing to and from another support type or modifying a parameter will update the Tree supports with the modified surface. 27.x
  Support Generation Gusset supports may not be properly trimmed in certain cases. 27.x
  Support Generation In some cases, manually added supports are transferred with wrong position. 27.x
  Support Generation Thickened non-solid support may intersect or detach from the part or create open contours. 27.x
  Support Generation Manually created surfaces that contain overlapping projections may result in support structures being generated above the part. 27.x
  Support Generation Applying 2D Cut on a Block support with thickened border may result in alteration of the geometry on the border corners. 27.x
  Support Generation No-support zones on marked Structures (for some geometries of Structures) are ignored during e-stage generation. 27.x
