1157117 Licensing Magics can't recapture the floating licenses after the network connection is restored: Press “No” on the message about recapturing licenses. Then open Licenses > Connect to floating license server. It should be possible to restore the connection this way.  
1146374 Machine Manager Gas flow direction not always correct: 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. Resolved in MGX 28.0
1146375 Machine Manager In rare cases, for rectangular platforms with rounded corners defined on Machine Manager - the platform won’t be visualized in Magics.  
1146376 Machine Manager Field overlaps that aren’t connected to two opposite sides of the platform won’t be visualized on the platform scene in Magics.  
1146365 Open - Save - Add - Unload File preview of Magics files containing BREP models is not shown  
1146383 Open - Save - Add - Unload Missing CAD import(s) after Magics upgrade: click here for more info and a work around Resolved in MGX 27.02
1146384 Open - Save - Add - Unload In certain cases, no warning is shown asking the user to save a BREP part/ BREP part scene Resolved in MGX 28.0
1146385 Open - Save - Add - Unload Select orientation: when clicking close, all subsequent part loading is cancelled regardless of "Apply to all" state.  
1146386 Open - Save - Add - Unload Part selection can not be saved to matamx files Resolved in MGX 28.0
1146387 Open - Save - Add - Unload Importing of files via MatConvert is not possible if the file path is longer than 256 characters. (MatConvert known issue) Resolved in MGX 28.0
1146388 Open - Save - Add - Unload Magics hangs during import part to platform: 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.  
1146389 Open - Save - Add - Unload Unicode characters are not supported when exporting a BREP model to STEP  
1146390 Open - Save - Add - Unload Concept of colours for BREP models is not fully supported yet, only face colours are being preserved upon import of a part.  
1146401 Open - Save - Add - Unload Importing preferences might cause the wrong MatConvert to be used: 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 Resolved in MGX 27.02

1146403 Support Generation Disabling the showing of perforations in supports can lead to supports overlapping with a part. Resolved in MGX 28.0
1146404 Support Generation Incorrect generation of tree supports: In 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.   
1146405 Support Generation The ‘Trim supports on other parts’ functionality might not work as expected when used in combination with post-processing. Resolved in MGX 28.0
1146406 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. Resolved in MGX 28.0
1146407 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. Resolved in MGX 28.0
1146408 Support Generation Empty support surfaces can remain when proceeding without finishing the "Add tree" operation: When the creation of manual tree support is not properly finalized (by right mouse button click) or cancelled (by pressing escape), an empty support surface can remain. This support surface can be removed manually.   
1146410 Support Generation Regenerate not working for tree supports with a modified surface: 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 trigger the update of Tree supports with the modified surface.   
1146412 Support Generation In some cases, manually added supports are transferred with wrong position.  
1146413 Support Generation Thickened non-solid support may intersect or detach from the part or create open contours. Resolved in MGX 28.0

1156629 Support Generation Part-to-part Volume support creates minor artefacts for bottom Z offset value of "0.000" mm  
1157357 Support Generation In some cases, transferred support is incorrectly generated on the destination part, causing support to go through part.  
1157358 Support Generation In some cases, transferred support will use profile parameters for the destination part instead of the modified parameters of the origin part.  
1157360 Support Generation When converting a 'Support library' (from Magics 22 or older) into a 'Support generation profile' (in Magics 23 or newer), the rescaled center parameter might receive a wrong value.

The import parameter dialog is never shown anymore if "Apply to all" was selected during a previous import: 

If multiple files of the same format are imported through MatConvert and the “Apply to all” checkbox was selected, the next time that a single file (or multiple files, but none with the same file format) is imported through MatConvert, no import parameter dialog will be shown. This issue can be avoided by deselecting “Apply to all” when importing multiple files through MatConvert. If the issue has already occurred, it can be reversed by importing multiple files of the same format: the dialog will appear and the “Apply to all” checkbox can be deselected. Afterwards, the import parameter dialog will be shown again for all file imports through MatConvert.

 
1157102 Open - Save - Add - Unload Specific Inventor files may have geometrical errors: Depending on the file, using earlier versions of MatConvert may result in less geometrical errors. For this specific issue, we suggest to use MatConvert 10.2 or earlier.  
1157110 Open - Save - Add - Unload File units parameter in the import dialog is always reset to mm

1157360 Support Generation Possible migration incompatibility of support parameters from older Magics versions: When converting a 'Support library' (from Magics 22 or older) into a 'Support generation profile' (in Magics 23 or newer), the rescaled center parameter might receive a wrong value.  
1157361 Support Generation Cancelling „Re-trim support on platform” for parts containing Tree support will cause Magics to become unresponsive.

1157364 Support Generation When executing Boolean of beam lattice and mesh, previously added beams as „No support zone” will be removed from the „No support zone”.  
1146404 Support Generation Incorrect generation of tree supports: In 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.   
1146408 Support Generation Empty support surfaces can remain when proceeding without finishing the "Add tree" operation: When the creation of manual tree support is not properly finalized (by right mouse button click) or cancelled (by pressing escape), an empty support surface can remain.
