kim 33 Posted October 18, 2017 This update is looking good. While trying it out I selected the move tool and was blown away by all the new features in the new Tool Option Menu. After reading bbuxton's post about opening old versions of FZ, I had to give it a spin. Worked perfectly. Thanks AutoDesSys for hearing us all and giving us what we request!

AsOne 388 Posted November 14, 2017 I really can't even test 8.6. Most of my files will not open in 8.6. Files that have no issues in 8.5.7. I tried copying some objects from a 8.5.7 file into a new blank file and object doctored the entire file. Saved it and it still crashed in 8.6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ingoerik 27 Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Okay, now that we finally have the clones back .... how do i un-clone ? Lets say i have cloned 20 windows but only one needs to be changed, how do i un-clone this one window so the other 19 windows change too ? After playing a bit with clones i must admit the cloning tool is very intelligent. I can open one window without affecting the other cloned windows, just changing materials or changing elements will affect the clones too.
