Release Notes for Descon Version 8.1.0.017

October 2026

After Freeze Parameters, unchecking the number of bolt rows lets those bolts change again, and the design finishes.

Freeze Parameters had also frozen the number of bolts, and most connection panels do not show that. Unchecking the rows left the bolts frozen, so the design could stop with an error code. That happened on brace clip angles, shear end plates, and claw angles. A design whose number of bolts stays frozen now finishes and reports whether those bolts are enough.
