Short review: 2.0.7824 version as of March 24

[dieter.menne]

I deleted the files mentioned in the post by @Anonymous-Chen2018 and got the new version 2.0.7824. A quick run-through:

• Components were not shifted any longer, but I am not sure if this is permanent. I have seen before that the shifting returned after a refresh.
• I had reported before that equidistant pins not on the grid were realigned to the grid when I generated a package, and have reported a workaround that temporarily switching off the grid can be used. This bug has not been corrected. See example below, the pins should be equidistant.
• 
• The horrible dependency problem in the library is still there, and I think this is the most serious bug. In the library, I cannot open a package because it "cannot be found", but I also cannot delete and rebuild it, because it is in use. Please focus on this issue, the library handling is a mess.

Hi @dieter.menne ,

thank you for your review and reporting what has been fix. The main reason for the fix is mentioned in the Release notes:

V.2.0.7824 – March 23, 2020

Electronics Design

• Some of you ran into issues with your Electronics Design documents not saving properly. Apparently modified schematics, 2DPCB files and library files were not being saved successfully if they were saved after Fusion 360’s auto-save happened. This is now fixed.

Usability

• Fusion 360 wasn’t able to install on a number of macOS machines running 10.13. Now it’ll install again without a hitch.
• We found an issue where some designs didn’t play nicely with the Bommer add-in, which resulted in an unexpected crash when you tried to work with both of them. We drilled to the bottom of this and got it sorted – no more crashes.

Manufacture

• In the Fused Filament Fabrication workflows, Fusion 360 was incorrectly showing 2 extruder heads when you only selected printers with a single extruder head. We fixed this issue so it shows the correct number of extruders as expected.
• We discovered some blank rows were generated in the print settings library of additive manufacturing. If you clicked Recent Folder and double clicked the blank rows, Fusion 360 refused to respond. This is now also fixed.
• There was an issue where toolpaths generated for metal 3D printing machines could not be exported. We got this sorted out and now you can export them again.

This save problem was a most urgent and triggered this fix. All other reported issues we are working on. 

Thank you and best regards,

Thanks, Richard, I had read it.

Surprisingly, the saving never was a problem for me, I always save manually.

I just wanted to test if some of the other features I encountered were follow-up errors of the corrected.
