Solo 4.6.3.1 is a maintenance update which delivers fixes to user reported problems with previous releases of the Windows version of the software. We encourage all users to update to this version of Solo.

Change History

Fixes to Solo 4.6.3 delivered in this Update:

  1. Exporting drawings, or charts, containing arcs to PowerPoint was resulting in mal-formed arc shapes in the PowerPoint document. This problem was first corrected in Solo 4.5.8, but reappeared in the Solo 4.5.9 release due to a bug in the PPT version checking logic guarding the original fix. This has been corrected.

Fixes to Solo 4.6.2 delivered in this Update:

  1. The startup screen was incorrectly displaying Power Macintosh instead of Windows. This has been corrected.
  2. A problem displaying font menus on Windows Vista and Windows 7 where the font list would extend beyond the bottom of the screen, rendering some fonts inaccessible, has been corrected.
  3. Windows 7 sets the default folder permissions on all folders in the Program Files directory to Read Only which prevents Solo from writing to the Solo Temp Files and Preferences folders stored in the Solo 4.n folder. Solo now uses SHGetFolderPath to determine where to store application data as recommended by Microsoft. As of Windows 7 this means that these folders are now typically stored in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\AxonInc\Solo\4.5\
  4. A problem with rotated text "disappearing" on Windows machines with large (2GB+) amounts of memory has been corrected.
  5. The Chart menu, in the Page Editor view, has been modified to more accurately reflect the available axis settings for the currently selected chart. For Scatter, X-Y and Bubble charts, which display 2 scale axis, the Chart menu now shows "X-Axis Settings..." and "Y-Axis Settings...". Previously, the menu displayed "Baseline Axis..." and "Scale Axis..." which was confusing, since these charts have 2 scale axis.
  6. A problem with exporting Solo content to a non-PowerPoint format (e.g. .GIF, .JPG, .PNG, etc.) with PowerPoint 2003 or 2007 installed has been corrected.
  7. A screen update issue, during the application start-up process, when running Solo on Windows 7 with the Aero Glass interface truned on, has been corrected.

Fixes to Solo 4.6.1 delivered in this Update:

  1. A problem which prevented exporting Solo documents to PowerPoint 2007 has been corrected.
  2. An incompatibility between Solo and the Japanese version of Windows Vista which caused the text input window not to be displayed when composing Kanji text, has been fixed.
  3. Improved scrolling behavior on new very fast PCs. We now limit scroll speed to improve control when scrolling by pages as well as lines.
  4. A problem with incorrect line spacing when exporting text to PowerPoint using the MS PGothic font on a Japanese system has been corrected.
  5. Corrected a display problem when entering edit mode on the message text of an empty storyboard cell in the Windows version. The cell structure was drawn with the incorrect color.
  6. The Preferences and Solo Temp File dirctories, previously created in the Windows directory, are now located in the Solo application directory in the Windows version of Solo. This allows Solo to be run without modifications on Standard User (non-Administrative) accounts.
  7. When installing Solo for the first time the Template Format default is now initialized to "Standard" as opposed to "Unspecified". This avoids new users having to know to select a layout format before placing their first template.
  8. It is now possible to export rotated Picture objects to PowerPoint 2007 in the Windows version of Solo.
  9. Improved handling of complex formatted text blocks when exporting to PowerPoint.

Fixes to Solo 4.6.0 delivered in this Update:

  1. The application name displayed in the application window bar was incorrectly indicating Solo 4.5J, it now shows the correct, Solo 4.6J, name.
  2. A problem with two edit menu items being mislabeled and not functioning properly, has been corrected.
  3. Menu key support has been added allowing users to navigate the application's main menu bars using Alt-key combinations.
