Thank you for the reassurance, that's very good to hear.

I've no issue at all with you developing one product for the Mac App Store, on a subscription basis, and the logic is clear, but I sincerely hope that the subscription model doesn't creep to the Ilexsoft Store in due course. SketchUp moved to subscription with lots of promises about development, few...

Runs fine on my 2015 iMac (i7).

I'm in England. I've not heard of any UK specific group. This site is the obvious one, but it's fairly quiet, with occasional bursts of posting. I've had HD for many years, but haven't used it much for quite a while - I use SketchUp + Layout, but only for 2D, which I know isn't the best use of Sketc...

I don't see any way to bump my current R5 up to R6 without paying the full price. Entering my serial number on the renewals page just shows a red box, although it is valid until the end of the year..
About HighDesign > License Information doesn't show "Renew" near the current license.

I've bought it as an upgrade to 2017 via www.ilexsoft.com/store/renew.html - I was sent a new license key to enter into R5, which all worked fine. My cost was £183.48 inc VAT.

Check for updates says a new version is available - 1648. Selecting download, I get the same version I have - 1647.

That’s good, I think short videos are a really useful way of demonstrating/learning and often so much better than a written description.

Exciting stuff - I've bought and look forward to getting to grips with it. I particularly like the option of drawing 1:1 as I'm so used to doing that now in SketchUp.

That's big news! BIM is of little interest to me as a sole trader involved in small residential projects, but I fully accept it is coming (indeed has arrived) and has it's place, but 2D isn't going away anytime yet. I like the idea of breaking the packages down rather than one large program with a l...

Tested and all seems to be working now. I'm set until 2023!

Tested with both .dwg and .dxf files, Sharing & Permissions are set to Read & Write; File > Open - files greyed out and not selectable File > Import - files selectable and open! Drag and drop files onto new sheet - works ok Drag and drop files onto dock icon - works ok Update - File > Insert...

An improvement - dropping a dwg or a dxf onto either the dock icon or a blank sheet will open the import dialogue and open the file. Unfortunately, the 'Import' dialogue box still has the same greyed files issue. In addition, the vegetation layer of these survey files is not rendering, although list...

Sorry to say that this still doesn't work for me - dwg and dxf files are greyed out and not selectable from either the import or open menu. Dropping the file onto the program icon just opens a blank sheet.

Open with... from the contextual menu in the Finder - same issue

or onto an open window - works!

dragging the file to the application icon - get this message
(I bought the application from Ilexsoft, not the App Store).
