palarsen Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 When "Lock Reference Plane" is on; if i click on XY plane, the lock is turned of. I believe this was fixed in an earlier build? Guides can not be locked onto by holding the shift key down, if there is geometry overlapping the guide. So you must zoom out and find some place where the guide is "alone" to lock the direction to that guide. Typically 90 deg guide lock. Please let guides be "on top" of any geometry! Orthographic lock is used a lot together with a snap to a point somewhere of that direction, to align. This is a big deal!! And no reason not to implement! When typing in the x, y and z fields of the parameters of a cube, hitting the tab key does not cycle through. It moves the selection to the x, y, and z fields in the main input palette. Using Right click and pulldown menus in the layers palette sometimes makes a selection of the layer name. So what happens is I unintended change the name of that layer to whatever I type next - typically a shortcut. Try left clicking to select a different layer than the active, and then right clicking to invoke pulldown. After you have selected "move to selected layer" and believe you are finished, the layer name is selected. I believe this came with 8.5.3 Tapping alt to change to copy-mode when moving perpendicular to reference plane makes the object move free, and not locked to perpendicular. Most of the time.. Ignoring what you see on the screen and click - the object ends up at the right place. But thats a little strange. Anyway: mostly extremely happy with formZ modeling!!! /Petter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hi Pal, Glad you are "extremely happy" with formZ! We have reproduced the Tap ALT when moving Perpendicular issue. Thanks for your report, we will get this corrected. (Tapping Command / CTRL twice will toggle the Perpendicular off and back on again, at which point it will be locked, or you can just put the cursor over the perpendicular "guide" to avoid the issue.) We were not able to reproduce any of the other issues you mention. If you retest these, are you still reproducing them? And if so, if you reset your Preferences, does that fix them for you?

palarsen Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Soooo happy!! I renamed the formZ folder, and trashed all formZ prefs files. No difference. 3 videos to show the problems here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0obw7w6f1s0qkvm/AAATZAU1pfyNkuSWf5k0_Yisa?dl=0 /Petter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palarsen Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hope the videos helps illustrate the problems! Locking to guides is the most important issue. Alining to other objects is crucial, and often used. The lack of guide lock, when a segment form an object overlaps the guide, is clearly unwanted. Can you not reproduce this? Anyone? /Petter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palarsen Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Orthographic snapping, and locking to guides does not work when segments from objects overlap!! Is that only me, on all my computers? Please?! I've been on this topic before. Its to important to just forget about it. /Petter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
