[Vectorworks abandoning perpetual licences]

This is the key. I wouldn't underestimate this change. I've seen hints of this already starting to happen in the beta cycle; a willingness to hold back and get features right before pushing them out. And now they don't have to wait until the following year to push them out.

 

I hope so, but assumes the file format stays the same for a long time. Photoshop has been able to make this work.

My problem with this subscription model is that if you do work, and you stop subscribing, you lose access to that work the moment your subscription expires.  You have lost all of that work.  How can that possibly be attractive to possible new users.  Did I get that wrong?

 

While I am not a fan of subscriptions, I see they are where software licenses are going. I have been paying monthly Vig to Adobe for years. That said, what I heard Juan say last night was that if you have a perpetual license, that is not going away. If you have service select, the program is essentially the same. If you have b other and stop paying the Service Select, you still have the license.

I assume that at some point, the OS may not run someone's old version, but that isn't new.

With Adobe, if you stop paying the Vig, you're sunk opening files unless other Apps open and translate. That's possible with some file formats.

[different heliodon times for different viewports?]

but I have them on their own dedicated design layer so I can disable them easily.

 

I was also going to suggest one per deign layer, but that could be unwieldy.

While selecting a viewport, check out your visualization palette

 

would you do this via the Visualization Palette, or by selecting what class is visible in the Viewport using the OIP with the Viewport selected? I would think the latter.

[IMAGE PROP REFLECTION IS INCORRECT]

12 minutes ago, Dave Donley said:

If crossed planes is on the reflection could be confusing - I suspect the reflection is of the other plane not the one you see in the front view.

 

 

The way I read the question, the user is looking to see the back of the person?

This image prop might have "crossed planes" turned on, does turning that off show more like what you expect?

 

If the image prop is based on an image, how can it reflect what is not in the original image?

Not sure if this helps, 

 

My bad, I thought I recalled that ReShaper offered the unrotated dimension of the final object.

Hey @Raymond Mullin Doesn''t ReShaper take care of this?

What plants exactly?

[Camera Match anomaly?]

Is that an image prop in the model? Looks like an artifact from the Image Prop mask.

that this is even possible. Messes me up all the time...

or IIRC, I don't think this has ever been fixed, draw in a class, drawn object, the object has the class. Extrude or otherwise manipulate into 3D, the 3D object no longer has the class.

Perhaps the better Wish would be for the dialog to say how many objects are in the class in the drawing and in the resources.

and locate/identify the objects.

If I go to the Style drop down in the OIP and select "Edit Style", I'm still not seeing options for changing bubble shape or style

IIRC, I took my earlier specs and brought the object into a new version and the style was created. There are stock styles in the default content. Usually I edit an existing style.

Possibly then taking GDTF from an interesting idea to something usable.

[Ability to export PDF pages and images directly]

isn't this more of a function for Acrobat?

[Controlling section line instances]

So, this is another instance of a need for better Class Control. I have long wanted to be able to tell VWX that objects should be assigned to such and such a class.

[Martin Sceptron Fixtures source glow]

I have not tried this, but if you can make the lens a lens object you can set the lens to pick up the color from the color filed in the OIP through the Document Spotlight preference. You need to have a class for the lens and a glow texture that uses the object attribute.
