Fix error in 'dowelpin*.hol' files. [SPR-8702705]

Fix error "No hole charts found for this hole types" when placing dowel pin Fastener using IFX with a drill diameter out of standard hole table and this hole cannot be created. New 'dowelpin*.hol' files with all dowel pin diameters have been added. [SPR-8702705][RM-10358]
Fixed problems while regenerating relations. The content from 'param_relations.txt' was processed line by line. This caused problems e.g. with 'IF' commands.[RM-12443]
A gap was created between the fastener and the placement surface while placing a fastener on very thin models. [SPR-13085083][RM-12051]
Reading of *.hol files in IFX reworked. Ignore *.hol files if 'THREAD_SERIES' and 'THREAD_NAME' is already in list. [RM-11337]

Rework functionality if 'HOLE_VISIBILITY' is set to 'NO'.
Do not show hole 'Hole Visibility' layout in 'Additional Options' dialog, disable all hole-icons to visualise that holes will not be created, do not paint holes in previews and do not check if hole charts are valid. [SPR-13074974][SPR Task-13074976][RM-11939][RM-11943]

Add Additional Tools information offered by B&W Software GmbH [RM-11322][RM-11323]

UI-Strings are not translated. [SPR-13006149][SPR-13006205][SPR-13006211][SPR-13006219][SPR-13006258][RM-11989]

Add new INCREMENT_* options to control the increment value of the spin box for diameter and depth values. [RM-11040]
Support unicode characters in param_relation.txt. [RM-10778][SPR 11357093][SPR Task-11357095]

Support body colors for 2D-preview. [RM-11236][RM-11238]
Disallow thread-surfaces as a position reference. [RM-10977][SPR-11285257][SPR Task-11285261]

Fix problems in hole chart layout. [RM-11176][RM-11178][RM-11519][RM-11287]
Fix problem with offset '-0.1' for screw-in connections. [RM-11174]

Fix for COLOR_HOLES option. The COLOR_STDPARTS value was used for COLOR_HOLES too. [RM-11018]
Adding a fastener with option assemble fastener on all instances (from a pattern) generates a premature exit. This problem is fixed now. The error could occurs if a cylindrical surface from inside a extrude was selected. IFX only supports cylindrical surfaces from holes. If the extrude contains planar surfaces, this could lead to the problem. [RM-10958][SPR-12035414][SPR Task-12035418]
THREAD_NAME in hole chart with unicode text is recording as `????' to trail file. [RM-10713][SPR-11246433][SPR Task-11246434]

Improve the creation time of new fasteners [RM-10070][RM-10072]
Show error image if a part cannot be modified. In this case no holes are created by default. The user can change this in the 'Additional Options' dialog. [RM-9390][RM-9584]
The creo option 'drilled_hole_tip_angle' can be used to control the tip angle of drilled holes now. The default value is 118° if the option is not set. [RM-8281]
Add What's New Dialog. [RM-9669]

The automatic length of the screws was not correct for prevailing torque type hexagon nuts. For NUTTYPE 50 and NUTTYPE 60 the L1 value is now used for autolength calculation. [RM-10463][SPR-11169725][SPR Task-11169729]
Fix problem. IFX run into a problem in 'Additional Options' dialog. While searching for locked part a value was assigned to an invalid pointer.
