Re: Layout with two viewports

Hi, apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Currently, you can create any number of viewports that show the same drawing at different locations and scales. In the Viewport settings panel, you can set a filter to hide texts, annotations and dimensions in the viewport, or change colors and fills...

Re: Issue with Title Blocks

My suggestion would be to continue working with the R9 beta. If for some reason you need to go back to R8, the latest beta includes a Save Special > Previous Version > R8.
Older versions of HighDesign are usually unable to open newer project files.

Re: Printing issues

Hi, I downloaded the project and opened it in HD. Just to be sure I understand your problem correctly, you need to control the color of the door panel and the arc that show the opening side? The attached screenshot shows how I opened it in R9 beta. We can give you a beta it that solves the issue for...

Re: Main wall with balcony wall

I guess the connection is not properly formed, perhaps the vertex of the balcony wall does not properly reach the main wall's axis. Try using the Tools > Rebuild Wall command on that wall. Anyway, since the two walls are likely of different heights, you can also disable the joint on the start/end he...

Re: Importing DWG

I see, it would seem a problem with a poly-line arc. You should be able to attach a .zip archive with DWG file, or send it to us to support.

Re: Issue with Title Blocks

Thanks for your report. There was an issue with the editing of attribute definitions that was resolved today.
A temporary workaround would be to use the Object Info panel to move and resize the attribute. If you are willing to try a beta of HD R8.3, we can send you a download link via email or DM.

We have been working on that again in the past month following another report and will release an update as soon as possible. In the meanti...
