Yesterday was a very frustrating day. Deadlines to be met, fires to put out, errors in plans that could cost us money, etc. Yesterday was also the second day using 8.1. When you factor in all of the problems we have had with 8.0, 8r1, 8r2, 8r3 and now 8.1, I simply have had it with upgrading. Opened 8.1 with a plan started in 8r3, crashed 4 time loading the libraries. Reorganized my libraries and finally got to work. All of my custom key combos were gone. Arrow key doesn't do what it used to, etc, etc. Ok, fix all of those things and AC crashed two or three times. Seems you can't have as many programs open as we used to have. AC 8.1 needs alot of memory. Finally get ready to print, go to plotmaker 3.1 and all of my section markers have to be changed to something other than what they were. Can't figure out why the scale and pen weights are grayed out in plotmaker, go to this forum and find out about the new prefs and how to change that. Just another step. finally hit print and now my master border is being cut off. Redo the master, and it still doesn't fit the paper. The printer didn't change, the master didn't change, tried to use the margins of the device. It was worse. Now instead of just one side of the border being cut off, it cuts off both the top and bottom. That's when I ran out of steam, and sounded off. Yes, I will get it figured out, yes all of the new features are great. We just have had a very unproductive 6 months and was feeling frustrated. I stand by my original statement, It will take one hell of a convincing argument to get me to move to Version 9 when it comes out.
BTW, I am printing to an Epson 3000, C sized paper (probably wasted two weeks getting that to print earlier in the year). Any body know what the margins should be and why my old border is now being cut off? [/img]
