ParticipantAlt-clicking Get Update downloads Beta instead of Release, right? Forgot about this one. Checking if it works.
ParticipantWell, as long as these keys work as intended, there is no real need to remove them. The problem is that they misbehave and now there is no trust. Speaking of usefulness of these… I do not use them, because I rarely change them on the fly. I know AG use same approach, but they switch modes, ways a tool work. Here with Axo these buttons switch options, not modes. I personally would disable hotkeys (and even buttons hints now say nothing about keys).
When do you plan to release the next beta then?
ParticipantWill you post here an update when a new beta comes out? Or anywhere else?
ParticipantIt extrudes properly for non-compount paths. Every compound (no matter if it is a from text or manually created) extrudes as flat.
And I am not sure I how it behaves in the released version, because the update method you provided seem not to work (shown in the separate branch).ParticipantI just downloaded the most fresh beta (from the forums link) and I can’t make this window to have this text. Only top one ‘…up do date’ text is shown.
More of it, this 16.2.05 210402 gives me this:

The structure is there, but all is collapsed to a null width.
Does not help if I choose Wireframe or change projection preset 🙁
The document has all units set to millimeters, customized Print profile on creation. Same happens for Web also.
Have no idea how to fix that.ParticipantI remember I shared this once:
http://sysys.zouri.jp/rittaipoku/
I am unable even to buy it for now (they blocked my card on signing up), but I suspect it is obfuscated anyway. I am mostly interested in shading part though, it looks solid (but eye-popping).ParticipantWe had a rough year, as many others, so me and my wife recently decided to have a plan to be able to use a data we now store in our heads to be retrievable in the case of accidents. Plus just recently we had to open my father’s garage and spend a lot of efforts, both physically and mentally, to decide what to do with all of his now master-less tools and materials.
And than this expiration thing happened. And my first thought (I apologize for that) was ‘Is Rick allright?’. And then — ‘If he is not, does it mean that the tool is forever lost?’. And it filled me with a lot of sadness. What can we done to ensure our tools surpass us?ParticipantYes, mine has expired too.
ParticipantMore of it, when I tried to share it in short, with only 5 GIFs (direct links) it first tried to it them again and then said I tried to post if before. So it must have landed in SPAM or similar.
ParticipantI just posted a long message (without copying it first as I usually do) and it vanished 🙁
ParticipantMeanwhile, here are my observations so far:
1. Units conversion seems to work almost flawlessly. I mean it works all the time, except the very first time I tweaked Stroke Widths: as soon as I entered the detail stroke value, 0.5mm, the outline one become 1000 time larger it seemed. I changed detail to 1mm and outline became 1000 larger again! I changed the outline manually and it stayed as I entered it and now the bug is gone.
2. Actually, there is something else with units. Enter ‘0.25’ to that detail stroke field — it will add mm to it, OK. Place cursor after 2, press Backspace, hit Enter. Instead of adapting to 0.5mm we get 5mm. Please remember that I work with regional comma delimiter and it gets translated all right — whatever I enter, comma or dot, both got converted to comma-view, as Ai does everywhere for me. So it means it ignores integral part every time we change decimal.
3. Dodecahedron looks amazing. I didn’t try to repeat it yet, but I’d need that several months before, when I needed to create a soccer ball, a truncated icosahedron! This would be a great tutorial and a example file.
4. I wonder why you decided to stop displaying a part of the rotation circle as dashed, the same way as move axis. It used to provide valueable info on what direction would be positive,
5. I wish that Add/Update button would actually say Add or Update, depending on what it would do — add one more position with values entered or update one selected to the right. Several times already I believed I will add, but instead modified and vice versa.
6. When I use a duplication script (emailed to RJ) on any other object than a ‘transformation’ one — I get a copy below currently selected object, and this copy gets selected instead of the original. When this script is used for transformation object — I have both the original and the copy selected. Have no idea why yet.
7. When you command Edit > Undo — all Axo commands are nameless. It’d be useful to see what is it that you would undo, like ‘Undo Project to … plane’
8. For some reason hovering hints for ‘Project …’ buttons in Axo Project panel are displayed below the panel, I see only the part that is uncovered by it.
As for the button you ask — nah, I think it matters little. I’d even say the panel is complex enough. Typing in minus is a common operation at the level of Axo users, I am sure of it.
