There were a couple of changes in the latest fc1 that caused problems in projects that contain groups. Internal handling of groups changed between b4 and fc1, and though there should be little visible differences, there are some big advantages: for instance, HighDesign 1.7 is about twice as faster i...

Oops... wrong file indeed, thanks macitect!
I just replaced the file: name and location are the same, but size, menus and some functions are different.
Luckily these things can only happen with the betas, and we'll make sure they won't happen in the future.

Sorry, just noticed the question had no answers. Default layers are saved directly into the preferences file, which is located at ~user/Library/Preferences/com.ilexsoft.HighDesign.plist

No, symbols in a project are external references. When you send a project to another HighDesign user, you should make sure that the library on the receiving end includes the symbol you used, otherwise they will display as empty boxes. It is advisable to include your custom library along with the pro...

Is ilexsoft waiting the 2nd version of HD to release a UB version ?
No, the release of the Universal Binary is not bound to version 2.0. We do not regard the Universal format as a "feature", but rather as a technical implementation that does not require an upgrade price per se.

So an arc can already be extended by changing it's start or end angles? Yes, you can edit its angles and radius by hand: select the arc, activate the Circles tool and click its endpoints or its border. What cannot (currently) be done is use the Extend tool to modify an arc, and that because the too...

So if all these items work with trim will they also work with extend? (Thinking of curves more specifically.) Trim and Extend are different and each uses its own technique internally, so working on one does not (usually) yield results on the other. I guess you are referring to the ability of extend...

Curved walls in AutoCAD are essentially splines or arcs created by the Offset command. Support for SPLINE entities in DXF drawings has been added in the 1.7b1 update (see related post). Arcs are usually imported correctly, unless there are some file-specific settings that the DXF importer is not pre...
