Why not explore other free solutions that' have been around for a long time and work differently
If it wasn't obvious, that was my reason for making the post 🙂 ... to either a) get some tips from others who may have solved the problem or b) getting a suggestion of what alternatives to explore. Isn't the purpose of a forum to allow able to take advantage of the shared experiences of other users to make things work better ?
I'll see if I have any better luck with your suggestions, thank you for the suggestions ... will report back afterwards
Amaware that the tools are unsupported, ... but from my view irrelevant ... they are still widely used and regardless of whether Autodesk chooses to support them, to date it's been the best tool that I was aware of. It's certainly a lot better than typing one letter at a time and then rotating each one. Question wasn't directed to Autodesk, but at other users. It's not a matter of being unhappy, it's matter of being 99% happy ... was hopping someone could get me to that last 1 %. As for Autodesk support... given my recent experiences, especially with account management and license manager failings .... the value and response time are far less than satisfactory. Only used as a last resort if colleagues and forum searched fail.
As to the legal question .... I'm actively involved in the issue in my role as past President .... of the State and VP of national PE society. Had been actively involved lobbying at the state and federal level for decades. The purpose of the question is in relation to that role and looking for feedback in preparing an updated position paper on the topic. Laws that affect the licensed professions start with those members of those professions who put in the T&E to draft them and work to gain their passage. When meeting with our elected representatives, it's always beneficial to come prepared and have a sense of the "pulse" of everyday practitioners. If most folks in any grouping of people don't see it as a high priority, neither will they.
I expect most are unaware of this situation and would certainly appreciate and responses from people seeing this and / or discussing with colleagues as most in my immediate circle are as they say "of like mind".
