the software interface has become so complex it seems a burden - to be honest after a year of use I don't find the new menu organization or the new keyboard shortcuts of any benefit - in fact more keystrokes required on my laptop to engage function keys...
The menu organization, the interface, and the shortcut keys ARE things you can change, you know. I don't know how you can complain about this with a straight face.
Yes of course we can change it back to what it was, or perhaps even hunt around & find a template somewhere, or maybe become an interface designer as well as a building designer & find an entirely proprietary better moustrap setup that nobody I might hire would know...
This wasn't in my upgrade 'list' but meant merely to illustrate that not only did I expect an improvement but to pay for both the change, the downtime of learning the change, the resulting inefficiency of additional keystrokes & then to still feel no benefit from the change after a reasonable period of use hasn't seemed worthwhile...
Spending yet another non-billable weekend tweeking my cad system backwards isn't someting I look forward to, have the time for nor paid for...
This significant part of the v10 upgrade seems more of a sidegrade or possibly downgrade to me, and so part of the 'trust' in judgement & leap of faith for future upgrades may need to be renewed...
My guess is v11 may be partly a vista escape valve & evidence of an annual upgrade cycle for shareholders & less dependent of user benefit/value/timing...
ps. I can't seem to get this website quote format working with Safari, which would be nice...
