We have been testing both R7.1.1 and the current beta with Sonoma and found no issues so far. We'll post about compatibility as soon as we are reasonably sure about the results of the tests.

In Ventura 13.3.1, Apple changed a function that is invoked by HighDesign at startup and that causes the errors. HighDesign R7.1.1 fixed that.

This week the ILEXSOFT blog features two new articles: • An overview of HighDesign R7.1 The new post summarizes the new features in R7.1: improved DXF/DWG compatibility, the new Share Image window, boolean operations, the Home window, and more. • Tutorial: How to Add Hatches and Textures to the Proj...

We're pleased to announce the availability of our latest update HighDesign R7.1.1 on both the ILEXSOFT Store and the Mac App Store. This release focuses on stability, quality and performance. We addressed a number of issues that were reported after the previous release, improved speed and responsive...

We had to solve some issues that were specific to the App Store versions. The updates will be posted this week.

We are excited to announce the release of HighDesign R7.1 (2023.1)! This release brings 32 new features and improvements and over 70 fixes and quality improvements.

We noticed that in recent versions of macOS that table has become more difficult to edit. We've already addressed the issue in the next update by implementing our own editing mechanism that allows one-click editing as well as tab key browsing. In R7, make sure the row you want to edit is selected fi...

Hi, layers are regarded as object properties, so you can change them in the same way as you change the other properties: select the objects and set the new property. There are three ways that you can change the layer: 1. Select the objects and choose the new layer from the drop-down menu on the Prop...

That is a bit strange, title blocks should not show as project symbols because they're only accessible through the Title-Block commands. For the upcoming R7.1 we've made sure they are not listed as symbols. Most likely, that is the reason why the Delete button is greyed out. A method to remove unuse...

Hi, the Edit Symbol workspace opens a utility window with several options and the Cancel / Save buttons highlighted in the screenshot. When you press either of the two buttons, the workspace goes back to Project. Another method to go back to the Project workspace without saving the changes to the ed...

The feature was added last year, in R6.5 I think. You can export the attributes of the selected symbol instance as CSV and tab-separated text.

Hi, I hope you received our emails, it seems that your mail server had some problems handling our replies.
We recently fixed an issue that prevented the use of the correct component colours. Thanks for reporting it!

Thanks for your report. We have reviewed extensively printing and export to PDF and can confirm that the issue with texts labels in a circular frame in PDF is fixed now. As for the curved fills, it probably depends on the print resolution and the class of objects. For example, hatches only support a...

We're working on that. What exactly do you find more confusing? It would help us to know what parts are less clear than others so we can focus on them in our tutorials.
