pipo Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Missing these 6.7.3 features in version 8 / 8.5 - 1. Separate options : separate along boundary of selected faces / along selected segments 2. Axial Sweep : interactive source manipulation 3. Show normals - presuming I just can't find this one 4. Line editing 2d : trim pair of segments with join option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi Pipo, 1. Use UnStitch. 3. Show Face Normals is part of the (Basic) Object Attributes. Thanks for your other suggestions, we will consider these for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipo Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 To toggle normal visibility on/off by assigning a key would be beneficial particularly for setting up emitter planes and scatter geometry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpwr Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I need to open earlier versions of FormZ. I forget which versions, but pre-v6. In v8 I often get an "unsupported" error, but can open the file in v6.7 and save, then open in v8. A little annoying, but it works. When it doesn't, that will be A LOT annoying. It was suggested I start converting files over in batches, but my library is extensive (on Z since 1996) and I never know what I'll need to travel back in time to retrieve.Thanks!

Tech Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hi DPWR, FYI you can also resave these from v7, and we will find a way to make a future version open these old files. It is just a long involved tedious process to make that happen -- but we will do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordonjay Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Pipo, In the open dialogue box there is a check box for "Add to project" another window will open that allows you to import a list of things including views, lights etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
