Search IdeaStation with the keywords FIX or Bug As there are too many for me to list here. Take that list and make a Fix it tool that gives the option to fix one thing such as "Reset preferences to default" / "Reset preferences to saved configuration". Or the user may select the entire list if they have no idea what the issue is they just know that something has changed and it is making their life miserable. Why === 1. I assume that it would be easier to update a patch tool then it would be to update the whole program. 2. I have updated my whole program with a clean, and I still have an issue that this software is so slow and takes five minutes just to startup, when yesterday it started up much faster. So it it isn't the program, what is causing this; and how can I fix it. Obviously, spending days researching and reading post/videos about how others are not happy with your software can not be good for ones outlook their after. So, why not avoid your this and just create a tool that can patch/restore/clean/optimize and save us the headache? Think about it like this, working with your software is like playing a fun game of chess, it is fun, however it takes thought and skill. Ok now imagine that your playing a game of chess and the game for some reason won't do the move that you know that it should be able to do... would you like to go waste anywhere from 3 hours to 3 days researching and if you did, wouldn't you have forgotten your game plan... As you can see "Bugs and Issues, take all the fun out of the game" 3. Frankly, the difference between success and failure depends on how stable it is. Windows may be UN-Stable but it has (Updates & System Restore) so the general public can restore their computer back to a time that the system worked. I know there are a ton of experts that are out their that know how to fix their computer but this tool can save some of us people that are not concerned with nor want to become computer technicians. The same holds true here. 4. Personally, I would like an option to lock my computer from sending any data/project to the cloud except for license checks. I like that I can download a shared file from the cloud and work on it freely; however, I am deeply bothered when I don't have control over my files, as "Lost of control" is the definition of STRESS!!! I want the ability to delete all my information/data from my hard drive and the cloud please! This issue has been upsetting many people since the constitution act 1867 and your policies when it comes to this are less than desirable. It doesn't even make sense, to force people to archive and delete their accounts just to remove the data that they painstakingly created. Since when is forcing people to delete accounts been a good forward thinking game plan? 5. Lastly, people that are just starting to learn any of the Autodesk programs are sometimes overwhelmed and they quit and come back, quit and come back... and when something goes wonky, it the last straw, and they quit. I believe that a product that is tested by the public grows to be more intuitive if the company listens to the users and I thank you for this opportunity... god knows a support@autodesk.com won't work. That said, windows is the best because it was free for everyone in the beginning when people had choices and because it has system restore feature that make it usable. I can get linux for free, but if it gets wonky I can not do a system restore... and that makes it un-usable for the common person... This is why I believe that pleasing your users is the difference between success and failure... and like the music industry that sold CD for too much money, they assumed that their stroke of luck would go on forever, and now regretted forcing people to find another way. 6. Ok, I can see some Autodesk marketing managers saying but our plan to hold data hostage is working, we have complete control over all our software and people have to be linked to us in order to use our software. We have figured out how to end software piracy and we have given the users the ability to use the full software. What the heck are they complaining about? I can also see some other marketing managers saying this gives us an opportunity to advance as more users are looking for alternative programs. If windows did what autodesk is doing, I bet we would all be using linux by now. In fact, we are using linux, many people just don't know that they are, and as the ads and privacy issues grow there could be a shift where people make the switch and never come back. In summary, if people don't like using it, they won't Please consider making it work, and I know that it does because it worked when I first got it. Now it is too slow and clanky to use, and I am not smart enough to research and fix as I have more important things to do in my life.
