Interesting, but I've seen demos like this for years. It remains to be seen if they have all the bits it takes to make the stuff actually productive.

Bricklyne,
I want to ask you to stop bashing Graphisoft constantly and continually.
You have made your point many-many times. I think people already got what your opinion of their ways is. How many times do you want to repeat it?
You almost always include some form of criticism of Graphisoft in your posts. Other people can respond to posts without adding these remark, so you should be able to do it as well.
I checked the rules of several forums recently: On other forums, if one repeats his stuff a few times like a broken record the moderators just kick him out. They do not even give any explanation.
So please...

Don't forget to check the Windows Beta and soon to come Mac OS and Linux version of Draftsight.

It feels like Autocad R14, same shortcuts.

The TRUTH hurts doesn't it Laszlo, Bricklyne is only repeating, because Graphisoft is repeating release after release, the incapability of answering its users wishes.

I for one, take offence at your's and Graphisoft's attitude, that our investment in time and money is not worth anything, and we can't express our passionate displeasure with Graphisoft's performance year after year.

Laszlo Nagy — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 22:31:18 GMT

You can and everyone can express their displeasure.
No one has been prevented from doing it on this Forum.
However, what Bricklyne has been doing for a very long time is too much. Just check his posts and you will see. Check the ratio of helpful advice to criticism of GS and AC. I did so I know what I am talking about. Who benefits from this? Who does this help? What value does it provide to this forum?
I advise you to go and look around various Forums on the net and see how much such behavior is tolerated.
The problem is not with expressing one's views.
The problem is trying to influence others with repeating the same thing over and over. To that degree this can be considered spamming since it is the same communication expressed using different words.

I would be nice to have B.C. help others here more often with his vast knowledge of AC, without the constant put-down. I get succked in because of the level of knowledge but then it's like Ground Hog day all over again with the glass half full.
It's a downer man.
Like someone always beating you down, instead of seeing the good in you.

Bricklyne Clarence — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 05:10:54 GMT

I have deleted the post in question, which frankly speaking did not seem all that GS-bashing to me, seeing as all I did was suggest that there are somethings that GS could stand to learn from how Dassault are developing this software.
And it seems like I am was not the only one who feels this way.

But perception is everything, I suppose; so the post is gone.

And I do actually post to help others in this forum; maybe not in threads and topics that you might be aware of or pay attention to, and maybe not as often as you would like. But just because you don't see them doesn't mean that I don't do it. But I suppose it's easy to see why one would more likely focus on what they perceive to be the negative posts rather than those in which I actually help people.

Regardless, that is neither here nor there, and the point is that this thread has gone considerably off-topic and I seem to have unintentionally become the topic of discussion.
Maybe it's best just to get back to the original topic, and let other issues drop.

And Laszlo don't worry, from this point on I will only limit my posts to positive, non-critical comments of GS.

So does this mean we won't be hearing from you anymore?

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself...........

The initial development of the software is always very impressive. Once you have your playground setup it's a challenge. You start concentrating on the bug fixes, small changes that make tools working properly, etc. I too wish development of AC was faster, but we can be civilized on how we express it.
I can't comment on BC's comment (it was deleted), but his persistence might actually pay of some day.
Just try to be more polite more often.

It's always funny watching software developers/programmers showing off their latest goodies... I wouldn't be rushing down that flight of stairs in the second screenshot... unless being one of the seven dwarfs 😉

He he!
