Problem: Find Point tool does not work in conjunction with point aliases defined via the new .ALIAS inline option.

Solution: Currently the Find Point tool will only match exact point names, and does not consider point aliases at this time. We hope to expand the Find Point tool to include this functionality in a future update.

Problem: Printing may not default to specified paper size. For example, after selecting 11x17 in the Page Setup dialog then pressing Print it may be output to 8.5x11.

Solution: There is a bug which can cause the page size being printed onto to not match the page size specfied in the Page Setup dialog, which we will fix in a future update. Fortunately there is an easy and effective workaround - after pressing the Print button, when you select your printer you can then press the Properties button and specify your desired paper size again, the printout will then be exactly as desired.

Problem: Checkboxes in Input Panel cannot be rechecked after items have been unchecked.  Sometimes the checkbox is replaced by a different icon.

Solution: We have found that this is a problem experienced by users who have installed either Trimble Business Center or Spectra Precision Survey Office on their workstation.  Further, you must have multiple monitors for this problem to appear.  If you move STAR*NET to a different monitor the problem will resolve itself.
