We are pleased to announce the availability of LucidShape CAA V5 Based version 2021.06 Service Release 1. This service release, now available on SolvNetPlus, provides updates to CATIA V5 R27–R30, and adds support for CATIA V5 R30 service packs.
The service release includes the following enhancements and fixes:
Provides updates to LucidShape CAA V5 Based for CATIA V5 versions R27, R28, R29 and R30.
Adds support for LucidShape CAA V5 Based for CATIA V5 R30 service packs. Resolves a previous issue that limited the usage of CATIA V5 R30 service packs to less than SP2. With version 2021.06-1, users can choose to use no service pack, or use CATIA R30 service packs up to and including SP4.
Resolves issues that resulted from setting the decimal symbol to something other than a dot (.).
