I've bought it as an upgrade to 2017 via www.ilexsoft.com/store/renew.html - I was sent a new license key to enter into R5, which all worked fine. My cost was £183.48 inc VAT.

Check for updates says a new version is available - 1648. Selecting download, I get the same version I have - 1647.

That’s good, I think short videos are a really useful way of demonstrating/learning and often so much better than a written description.

Exciting stuff - I've bought and look forward to getting to grips with it. I particularly like the option of drawing 1:1 as I'm so used to doing that now in SketchUp.

That's big news! BIM is of little interest to me as a sole trader involved in small residential projects, but I fully accept it is coming (indeed has arrived) and has it's place, but 2D isn't going away anytime yet. I like the idea of breaking the packages down rather than one large program with a l...

Tested and all seems to be working now. I'm set until 2023!

Tested with both .dwg and .dxf files, Sharing & Permissions are set to Read & Write; File > Open - files greyed out and not selectable File > Import - files selectable and open!

An improvement - dropping a dwg or a dxf onto either the dock icon or a blank sheet will open the import dialogue and open the file. Unfortunately, the 'Import' dialogue box still has the same greyed files issue. In addition, the vegetation layer of these survey files is not rendering, although list...

Sorry to say that this still doesn't work for me - dwg and dxf files are greyed out and not selectable from either the import or open menu. Dropping the file onto the program icon just opens a blank sheet.

Open with... from the contextual menu in the Finder - same issue

or onto an open window - works!

dragging the file to the application icon - get this message
(I bought the application from Ilexsoft, not the App Store).

As the title - .dwg on the desktop, go to Import, HD2017 doesn't allow the file to be selected. Works fine in HD2016.

Yes, that worked, thanks.

Shame there is no way to edit posts on tis forum, nor add screenshots - so I've expanded on my post above; On first launch today, I see a 2016 Beta splash screen and 'Thank you for trying High Design 2015' The counter says 29 days, although this is the first time I have launched it, and there is no ...

Well done and thank you for continuing to develop the program in a timely manner.

On launch today, I see a 2016 Beta splash screen and 'Thank you for trying High Design 2015'

The counter says 29 days but there is no way to proceed unless I purchase an upgrade.

There was a Facebook update on 13 April "We are working on the next update, which will be available very soon. New features like a large crosshair cursor, click-drag to pan, new options and many improvements".
