lost functionality - automatic unit conversion (in, mm, etc.)
lost functionality - automatic unit conversion (in, mm, etc.)
I just discovered that this functionality is no longer present in Studio v2008 and am wondering if others have noticed it missing.
In older versions of Alias Studio when you entered a dimension for transform operation like "move" or "scale", you could specify the units and Studio would do the conversion to whatever the working environment was set to automatically. For example if your environment was set to inches and you wanted to move something 3 millimeters you could enter "3mm" and the result would be correct. I think you could also enter an equation (2mm+2mm) and get a correct result also.
i just talked with the head engineer of aliasstudio and he is suprised that this ever worked. might be it was a bug that never has been reported.
whatever it is, it was not intentionally removed.
since i never hear from anybody else missing this find of behavior i feel that not much people really want this. am i right? otherwise i would deal with this like a feature request.
