We are working on a video lesson about the workflow with detail areas and callouts, detail sheets, layouts and viewports. It will be in the same format as the "Essential Skills" videos we posted earlier this month.

We have uploaded the first two videos of a series about essential drafting skills in HighDesign. 1/7 - Snaps: Complete description of the different snap types, grid, objects, alignments, and their options. 2/7 - Coordinates and Constraints: specifiying the coordinates of the start and end points, fi...

In the next update, image resizing operations, either via the settings panel, cursor, or object info, will be non-destructive: that means that it will be possible to m...
