Excellent !
I am doing this PRECISELY to keep these grouped together. If you look at the
very first post, ALL of my complaints are connected to the thread. I should
have named the thread simply "Problems" and posted my problems as replys
underneath. Can't you change the name of the first subject body in this
thread? Or should I start my rants OVER in my own little "My Problems"
subject line, adding daily to it ? No law against me talking to myself is
there ??
It's not so bad this way, Probably beneficial. At least if I am wrong on an
issue and someone comes back and tells me why, users won't be left in the
dark. It is still tied together.
Heck, I just go Sort> by thread< and there they all are! Everything is under
the first post from 11-29. Hopefully it will only contain information about
the subject line issue and not "Donuts", "Chili", Terrorism, Politics, or
even bugs in your bananas.
Why am I doing this ? I went back and tried to figure out just what were the
biggest complaints about AS. Difficult at best. Remember all those Server
Upgrades and what not you guys pulled a while back ?? Yikes !, Too much runs
way off track.
Go ahead, search back and find out what the complaints were in AS. You will
look forever and not come up with exactly what you are looking for. It may
be why AD's engineers acted as if nothing was wrong with the program. Just a
bunch of happy users, so they did little with v8.
If I keep doing what I am doing, All of MY complaints are in one spot. Of
course they are only MY views, but, these are items I think AS needs to have
fixed. At least I know they will get read by someone, unlike the AS wishlist
joke.
GreigJ, whom we have NOT heard from since last week, indicated there were 12
items fixed in V8. I asked what those 12 were. Does he know? We'd like to
know, at least the last few here sticking it out. I mean C'mon, "Whats the
problem with line width??" What a lame question if you just browse this
group for 10 minutes.
Ric Norris properly identified a real issue in regards line width that goes
beyond just little problems. His is a issue that should have been solved
long ago if Sketch was to "Claim" DWG capability. 210 copies of AS..... I'd
fix the problem! Heck if AS worked the way it should, there would be many
more companies buying Sketch in huge quantities, and few of the higher end
products. This way they just buy a few higher end ones and nothing else.
Has GreigJ RESPONDED to Ric ??? Not that I have been able to
tell..............
I took a break from daily reading this group until I found that V8 was
coming out. A great bunch of dedicated individuals for sure like Harvey,
Ric, Graham, PaulJ, JohnN, Len, H Alm, Gerhard...... and all the others.
But, the group became stale and boring because ALL of the same old same old
problems were being discussed.
Guys like Harvey, who seems to have lost interest in the little games behind
AS, clearly became burdened doing ALL of the support for newbies. Same
message to type over and over and over. Lord knows AD gave no support, just
computer generated dribble like the one on 11-20. (gee, I wonder if GreigJ
is real or the name of a machine.............)
All of the problem issues of V7 were long talked out. Most were clearly
defined back in early 2000. Surely one would have thought that on the brink
of 2002, they would have figured things out for V8. It looks like yet
another 2 years before the 6.1 users will spend a dime.... even the 2.1
users for that matter ! I may be swayed IF I knew what 12 issues were fixed.
Can I print to my HP 4000 now ?? (worlds most common laserjet which is not
compatible with AS7 in any environment I've tried)
So, What should I do ? Keep my "Problems Posts" in-line so we can get some
results by version 12 ? Or, scatter them all over the place like they have
been for the last 2 years, leading individuals at bay as to what they shoul
fix ? Let me know.
Without the small issues fixed, I am going to do something this next year. I
don't feel like waiting for Sketch to get fixed if its another 2 years.
Other programs are excelling around AS.... Sheez, Can't believe V8 has the
same problems. Too bad..... it was sooooo close !
Sorry fellas....... "Problems" Posts have been put on hold until I get
"clearance" from the Tower to continue.
Awaiting a comment from Anne,
