===<Part 1: Changes to HVE-2D System Software>======================

Section A: Enhancements 
(none)

Section B: Bug Fixes 
1.  Vehicle Editor: The Tire Information dialog was defaulting to the first tire in the list for a 
    specific tire size and not the tire from the selected database.  This has been corrected.

2.  Event Editor: If a payload was added to a trailer, a drawbar may have been improperly drawn. 
    This has been corrected.
	
3.  Playback Editor: When the crush measurement tool in Damage Studio would perfectly match up with a polygon 
    edge the measurement the ray would pass through the surface. This has been corrected. 

Section C: Other Changes
1.  General: Added a toggle for Belt Anchors.

2.  Vehicle Editor: Added Delete and Save As buttons to the Vehicle Search dialog.

3.  Playback Editor: Enabled Filename and From File options in the Damage Studio dialog for showing damage.

Section B: Bug Fixes
1.  The following corrections were made to the EDC vehicle databse:

        a.) The P245/45R18 tire was built for the 2017 Audi Allroad and that tire was accidently built with a weight of
            45 lbs when the actual measured weight was 55 lbs. Along with the TIR file we also corrected the Audi's wheel
            locations, CGz sprungmass location and inertial values associated with the tire weight increase. 

        b.) PassCar.Generic.Generic.255-50R20.tir - Calfa and Cgamma at the lowest load were much lower than expected, to
            address this we set the lower cornering and camber stiffness values to 0.722 x the middle (rated) load value.
            The 0.722 value was determined by looking at the trend in existing tire files. 

        c.) PassCar.Generic.Generic.255-60R16.tir - Calfa and Cgamma at the lowest load were much lower than expected, to
            address this we set the lower cornering and camber stiffness values to 0.722 x the middle (rated) load value.
            The 0.722 value was determined by looking at the trend in existing tire files. 

        d.) PassCar.Generic.Generic.255-60R18.tir - Calfa and Cgamma at the lowest load were much lower than expected, to
            address this we set the lower cornering and camber stiffness values to 0.722 x the middle (rated) load value.
            The 0.722 value was determined by looking at the trend in existing tire files. 

        e.) PCHondaAccordLX984Dr.h3d - Addressed several holes in the vehicle mesh and corrected the orientation. 

        f.) PassCar.Honda.Accord.LXV6.98.4Dr.veh - Updated the Body Style to "4-Door V6" to differentiate between it and
            the "PassCar.Honda.Accord.LX.98.4Dr.veh" vehicle.

        g.) PCHondaAccordLXV6984Dr.h3d - Addressed several holes in the vehicle mesh and corrected the orientation.
