HighDesign CommentarySome improvments... - Version: 1.8, 7/30/2008 08:11PM PST

It should be possible to have Layer as Sheets or Object Info (moveable), and in the same panel all others things you can select for Layers. Also, in the same panel Align Objects and Arrange. And this concept with every thing you have several choices. (Maybe with icons)

When you create Walls it should be easier to connect automatically with the next one.
Rebuild Intersection does not work well (You select two walls and clic RI, and doesn't work).

Every Color selector should be integrated with the Mac systems.

Even all those things, its nice, simple to learn. Useful! Good luck..

HighDesign Commentary1.8.2 hangs on 10.5.2 - Version: 1.8.2, 7/1/2008 04:47PM PST

Doesn't work on 10.5.2 - Agreement opens, Select trial, main window opens and the cursor goes to a beachball and the program hangs. Maybe it needs a more recent version of Real Basic?

Too bad, it looks interesting.

Why oh why, did I waste my money on MacDraft? HighDesign looks (and works) so much better! When was the last time Microspot gave us a decent upgrade???......HighDesign, with parametric windows too?! Yes please!!!

Now to convince the rest of the world that actually, AutoCAD isn't all that great- well it isn't, is it?
