AC30: Expanded Label Shapes

Lingwisyer — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 06:30:25 GMT

So one of the New Architectural Features in AC30 is Expanded Label Shapes. I have to wonder why they did not just pull all of the available shapes from the Label Macro.

All shapes available in the Label Macro

New shapes available in the default label.

I had the same question in BETA program.

Answer was that based on analytical data, the rest of shapes were not that much used...

Though that answer also implies that they were sometimes used, so why limit it when it is already there? Some millisecond performance penalty when opening the drop down?

As @Karel Landa said. Thanks for responding.

We focused on the most requested shapes, and based on usage analysis. Putting our effort in implementing shapes you need and use was preferred, regardless of if they are in or not in GDL Labels (and in that case, we can reconsider the GDL shapes...).

We need to save something for the AC31, too. There was such a huge batch of new developments this time that it just wouldn't all fit in...
