Does anyone know how to do this? I want to roll back to an earlier version 8.6.4.1 (windows) has given me a weird slow down and a host of other quirks. Using the formz uninstall leaves files all over the place! I just don't fancy a full format and start again. Cheers

Edit menu>unlock groups

Hi All, Am i missing something or is this impossible?

Tweaks 1)When a group is created it should appear above the selected object within the objects panel instead of the bottom (why?) As so a popup to name the newly created group. 2)A 'GROUP SELECTED' option in the objects panel. 3)Being able to assign colours to layers would also be a massive help. 4)A complete overhaul of the components manager and intergration, it's overly complicated and doesn't feel intergrated. 5)A cursor popup to input numerical input for x,y,z movement would improve workflow.

Brilliant! Thanks Nige that is a great workflow, really appreciate it. Simon

Hi all, Does anyone have a work flow for getting parts designed in formz out as a flat drawing? I currently lay the parts down flat on the X Y plane and then open thefile in a top view in layout. My issue that there are always errors: It seems that any form of export from Formz has bunch of issues but this is just into Layout? I'm basically having to redraw all the parts in other apps! I'm i missing something? This is pretty run of the mill flat panel work it should be a piece of cake.

Justin could i just as the specs of your machine?

I've actually managed to narrow the problem down to some weird interference issue with my 3d connexion devices. I suspect the drivers.

version 8.6.3.1 build 10163 I've got an incredibly choppy/jerky viewport in win10 using GTX 1070? It's making work very difficult anyone else had similiar issues and been able to fix it? If not what is the best way to get back to version 8.5? I have to say i'm finding Form z getting worse with every update rather than better.

Hi All, I've assigned shortcut keys to the buttons on my 3d Connexion space navigator and they work in every package apart from Formz? Anyone else had this issue?

Glad to hear you're working hard on v9 could we have at least some form of timescale? This year? 2019? Will it be VR (joke)

I haven't been using Form Z for a few months and now i'm back using it, i'm once again finding it's lack of very basic elements as frustrating as i did last time. I understand that the development team is small but then so is Nevercenter Silo's. Is there any info on version 9? Why keep customers so in the dark? Don't get me wrong in general it's a great package, it's just a bit archaic and as i've stated frustrating.

Why does the tool options info panel not show that bounding size of an object, it doesn't make any sense that the bounding size of XYZ are not their?

It appears to be an issue on the OSX version, it works on a PC version. Does no one check this stuff before releasing an update.

Hi All, Is it just me or is texture mapping a long winded process in Formz? The fact that you have to select a face, then select the Texture edit tool, then only be allowed to manipulate it in one transform say scale in y when i click I lose the controller then have to do the whole process again to do a rotation etc? Is this how Formz does it or am i missing something or bug issues on the tutorials this doesn't seem to happen? Any help much appreciated FormZ v8.6.2 OSX 10.13.4 Imac 2010
