Defect 759465:

Rotate dialog limits the angle to be 5 characters only

Updated Version: 12.07

Enhancement 723766:

Dynamic analysis dialog: Pressing OK shall remove the unavailable support groups from response spectrum load sets

Steps to Repeat:

1.Open MSRS_Example model
2.Delete imposed displacement at point 17
3.Running "Consistency Check" reports "W2143-29:Response spectrum case R1 has support group 3 that is no longer defined in model."
4.Running "Analyze All" command gives message "E801-24: Number of MSRS groups is inconsistent with SAM case"
5.Open dynamic analysis dialog and go to Response Spectrum tab
6.Click on define button in Spectra column
7.Notice that the support group 3 is not available.
8.Press OK, and again press OK to close dynamic analysis dialog.
9.Run consistency check and analyze all commands and notice that the message is still given.

Workaround:

- Open dynamic analysis dialog
- Go to Response Spectrum tab.
- Click on define for load sets reported in consistency check
- Change a single scale factor or just write same value again.
- Click apply button & then click OK.
