A new maintenance release for Ab3d.PowerToys and ZoomPanel is available.
It fixes an issue with new designer in Visual Studio 2012. This was most noticeable when a camera from Ab3d.PowerToys was not manually connected to Viewport3D. In that case the code in the camera automatically checks the objects hierarchy and tries to find the Viewport3D automatically. But because the designer in VS 2012 is changed, the code did not find the Viewport3D and therefore the preview of 3D scene in the designer did not show the scene from the specified position.
The new version of Ab3d.PowerToys library also has the following changes:
- Fixed a typo with renaming the WireBoxVisual3 into WireBoxVisual3D (BREAKING CHANGE!)
- Improved 3D Text - now ? character is correctly displayed instead of a character that does not have its 3D shape defined
- Fixed problem with displaying 3D Text in Visual Studio designer
A new version of ZoomPanel library also fixes an issue where a "Reference not set to an object" exception was thrown when ZoomPanelMiniMap was added to controls tree but was visible and then the user changed zoom mode on the ZoomController.
