1. General
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch can be installed on an existing AutomationDesk 1.3 with any
previous patches.


2. Problems Fixed by This Patch
----------------------------------------------------------------------

a)
The Output Window now uses a monospaced (nonproportional) font.

b)
Specific inconsistencies between graphical view and internal data,
which occur in certain  drag-and-drop use cases, have been removed.

c)
The Situation:
The Custom Library in AutomationDesk must be located in the
following folder:
%dSPACE_ROOT%\AutomationDesk\Users\AllUsers\Custom Library.
If the Custom Library is relocated, (e.g., via custom solution),
you have no write access, and the Custom Library in AutomationDesk
is itself read-only. Thus, no modifications are supported, to
prevent actions that you will not be able to save afterwards.

Problem:
If the read-only Custom Library elements concerned are instantiated,
the read-only attributes are not removed. Thus, you cannot
edit items such as the values of data objects in the project.

Solution:
Custom Libraries located in read-only folders (e.g., via custom
solution) are no longer read-only in AutomationDesk.
AutomationDesk does not suppress modifications in the Custom
Libraries. However, you make such changes at your own risk, since you
cannot save the Custom Library afterwards.

d)
Dropping an element onto itself no longer invokes an
error message box. The mouse cursor indicates that this is an
invalid operation.

e)
Copying an element to a hierarchy level where the name of the source
element already exists no longer invokes a dialog to insert a new name.
Instead, a default name is generated, and you can change it
afterwards (e.g. by pressing F2).

f)
Serial and parallel blocks in the Custom Library can be opened in the
sequence builder by double-clicking or by pressing the Enter button.



3. Limitations
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No known limitations.


4. Installing the Patch
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To install the patch, you must be logged on as an administrator.

Ensure that the active installation referenced by %DSPACE_ROOT%
contains AutomationDesk Standard 1.3. If you are unsure,
start dSPACE Installation Manager and check whether AutomationDesk
Standard 1.3 appears in the list of installed products for the active
installation.

To install this patch, simply run AutomationDesk13p2.exe. The setup
will automatically locate and patch the active dSPACE installation.

After this patch is applied, the version of AutomationDesk on the
splash screen and in the About box is set to AutomationDesk 1.3.0 P2.
