Known Issues

This section describes the known issues in this release of the Code Generation and Natural Construct components. The following topics are covered:

Support for NATdoc Generation and Custom Models

To support the generation of NATdoc documentation, Natural Construct 5.3.1 SP9 now uses the last condition code defined for a model to determine whether NATdoc documentation will be generated. If you have custom models that use all 75 condition codes, you will encounter issues using the NATdoc feature.
