Hi Folks,

For those of you who already use AC11 in a productive environment, where is the question...

Is AC11 stable enought to upgrade from AC10?

I think so. I've got just one crash up to now (have final for 2 weeks), but it has something to do with printing to our Fiery RIP with duplex communications enabled. I think it's a glitch in the interaction between the printer driver and parts of OSX like Carbon and Rosetta on the Macintel. It is repeatable, but I've had like issues in MSWord, so I can't blame AC. And I've lost no data, the Autosaver works.

Otherwise, I think you'll be happy with AC11. Lots of small improvements that I find now and then, beside the "big" announcements. Of course, I still want more 😉

I have been using 11 for months (beta and now final release) for my professional work and it has the same stability as 10. Since version 8 Graphisoft has done a good job of releasing stable beta versions, so the final release is very reliable.

personally I reckon it was the most stable release in alpha/beta stages so I suppose it has a fairly solid core.

It's got a few bugs in it, but I have yet to have it crash on me (though I'm not deploying it office-wide until next week)

much slower for me.

if i open an existing file it's painful. new files are slightly nippier, but AC10 is still way snappier than 11.

This is a bit strange. While I have had some slowdowns in 11 they seem to be related mainly to referencing complex building elevations. I haven't had the chance to do much real work on it since my clients are just beginning to upgrade, but for me opening files is much faster in AC11. It's hard for me to judge though because my hard drive was close to maxed out until I did some aggressive cleanup recently.

Yeah, I am dissapointed. I was hoping that some of the slowdown in AC10 would have been dealt with but AC11 feels slower in 2d and 3d for me. I have yet to run them side by side but definately not faster than AC10 and way slower than 9 as far as clicking and dragging lag...

It starts up fast enough for me though.
