Re: Library

I dont believe there is a change in symbol size. Several of us a couple years ago tossed around the idea of building a user based symbol database kind of like Sketchup did... but could figure out how/where to place the database...

Re: PDFs revisited

My concerns with PDFs via Print, Save As PDF are that the PDFs are not flattened. So the files are huge and take a long time to load. I'm not that familiar with flattening routines, but recognize it could be part of the problem.

Re: HighDesign Development Making Great Progress

Now I'm noticing more in the screen shot... what do you see?

Two windows open at once
Lines and Lineweights at the top of the panel
Zoom/Views on lower right
Snaps at bottom left
Maybe a paperspace-like view called Layout
Perhaps a way to import 3D models

I believe a lot of us got spoiled in a sense. Now fast forwa...

Other than a performance boost for large drawing sets, I'm perfectly content.

Re: OS Lion & HighDesign 1.8.x

Did something happen with 10.7.1?

Re: AutoCAD translation

Good luck with this - I never seem to get text blocks, dimensions, etc. consistently from other dog files so not sure how the HD export will handle them.

Re: HighDesign on OS X Lion

Work on performance of large files please! About the time my drawings get to 2MB things start to slow down.
