Fixed Issues/Corrections
--Updates to support macOS Ventura
—Surface objects were not following the preferences edge color setting
—Linear duplicate correction (JIRA 376)
—ViaCAD v12(Win+Mac): Option key does not make copy of the selected entity when use the Distance field of the Prompt window (JIRA 375)
—Corrected crash for unique mesh boolean subtract
—Corrected unique crash importing Turbocad Mac, viacad , shark cad native files
