I wasn't aware that it does. You haven't Flipped the view or something, have you?

Martin.

I've just used Translate to move a line up and right without using minus signs.

What curve? It was a straight line.

Lines, arcs, circles, conics, ellipses, splines are all considered curves.

This software is so confusing. I have used CAD products for 26 years and this has been the hardest to learn. Calling a straight line a curve is part of the problem.

I guess I'm just frustrated because I seem to have to do everything twice. Copy an item, THEN move it where it needs to go. Draw a little crappy line, THEN give it a length. Draw a polygon, THEN give it the size.

This is like buying a hammer, putting it down on my work bench, THEN picking it up to put it away. The intermediary steps are getting old.

I'll second that. I came from Solidworks, as I needed cheaper, Mac friendly alternative, but I also brought all my "bad" habits too. It took a good couple of years to unlearn then relearn. It was definately worth the effort.

After having learned five different CAD systems, including two you've never heard of, I am well aware of that.

There are just some very simple and logical concepts that should have been included that are missing. Like being able to point to the side of an entity you want an offest to go, or being able to pick a reference point for moving or copying an entity, then pick a relative point where it should be copied or moved to.

Finally, I bought this program so I could get work done at home, then take it into work where our detailers could incorporate what I created into their drawings. While I know it takes time to get used to a new program, my production is so bad now that I am able to work faster with a pencil and paper. One of the main selling points that made me choose this one was the fact that it was supposed to increase productivity. Have not seen the increase yet, and I've been trying to make it work for 6 months.

It doesn't matter. You guys keep telling to use options that don't exist. I bought this software new less than 6 months agon, and now I find out it is old.

Guess I look elsewhere for software that doesn't hit the shelves already obsolete.

Sorry, don't do quicktime. It is an apple product.

But I say again, you tell me to use options that don't exist, like the "page Format" with is NOT in my version. I have a Print format" that is similar, but it does not show the options you called for.
