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...

Abbiamo condotto diversi test per verificare, e il tasto Shift ha funzionato normalmente bloccando la direzione sugli angoli fissi. In HighDesign questa funzione non è modificabile con preferenze, ma forse c'è una configurazione particolare sulla sua macchina che interferisce o altera il tasto Shift...

Thanks for your comment, videos are the top requested items regarding help & documentation. We intend to expand the existing documentation with short videos on our YouTube channel, covering the chapters of the manual. For more in-depth articles on specific features, you can visit our blog .

Hello! We are pleased to announce the release of HighDesign R5.3!

Please make sure you're using build 1715. You can check the version number either when you launch HighDesign or by using the HighDesign > About HighDesign menu item.

Great news! When will the next update be released? It's very close. We're completing the final tests. I would also like to be able to use images as library items. Is there any chance for that? That is already possible, in a way, by saving the images as symbols, so you can have one image and as many...

As a follow-up to this thread and the emails exchanged with support, I can anticipate that we redesigned the way images are managed. 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...

1 - Compound Walls: The ability to select a surface of a component to be the reference for drawing a wall is a critical need. For instance, an exterior wall is typically placed in reference to the face of the structural material (studs, etc.). Interior walls are placed in reference to the centerlin...

Hi Erin, 1) We tested a renamed area and the change was retained, both during the session and after re-opening the file. What we noticed is that pressing Enter in the input field adds a new line, whereas it should simply close the field. You should click outside to confirm the input. Hint: to rename...

Ciao Federico e benvenuto! Sono domande assolutamente pertinenti :) PDF: La versione Windows è ancora leggermente indietro rispetto a quella Mac per quanto riguarda alcune funzionalità. Per l'importazione dei PDF come immagine su Mac utilizziamo le librerie standard di Apple, che non hanno una contr...

New blog post: "One of the most used features in CAD are undoubtedly symbols and blocks: you design a component once and re-use it many times in different projects, saving time and resources. HighDesign includes a default library of pre-made symbols ready to use in your project, but you can easily m...

This last report seems to be related to custom templates. We'll look into it and will let you know. Addendum: We tested your file opening, adding objects and saving, and everything worked fine. Is it possible you double-clicked the file and it launched a previous version of HighDesign instead of the...
