      Not free then. 7.1's a free upgrade - but 7 wasn't.

        SU Free users who want to retain DXF/DWG capabilities after the next major upgrade should probably just make sure that they keep a copy of version 6. A bit of a pain to load into 6, save a SU file, then open that in 8 (or 7.1) I know, but cheaper than upgrading to Pro.

        Life's a reach, and then you gybe.

              is this what you are referring to?

              Yes, I think so. But I realized only after posting that it only resets the components window, materials, entity info, etc. It does not touch the toolbars from what Google has said. I have not used it actually. But I'm afraid it will not help with toolbars at all. Not even to reset them 😞

                I was quite happy to notice that SU orbiting got more speedy even with my old Pentium IV machines with graphics cards way below the spec recommended today.

                    I downloaded and gave it a whirl and the speed increase is fantastic. A model I was working with just days ago was jogging when I had all the theatre seats turned on, now that same model with the seat layer turned on is flying very smoothly as if the layer was off. The speed increase alone is worth the upgrade Oh, and the back button on the component browser being there now, wow I cannot tell you how much I hated that being gone

                        Hi Edson, If you try it, let us know:-) I see that we all have a healthy respect for upgrading. I have a non production system at home that I will later try that function on.

                          I am amazed that some people would be so critical of this version. Makes me think that some just like to complain.

                          I haven't tried it yet (downloading now) but faster model manipulation, component back button and dimensioning in LO! Are you kidding me, that is fantastic! I am really pleased with this, thanks sooooo much Google team.

                              Hi All

                              SU V 7.1 is faster and loads big models much better.
                              Navigation is much improved over v6 pro-V7 free.
                              Well worth the price of admission for an upgrade for this alone.

                              Shadows and materials are turned off and on when navigation is started and ended which on my system had a transition lag of about 9 seconds.
                              CPU peaked out for both cores

                              Annoying if one is moving around a lot and crashing for a deadline. 😞
                              Of course on can just turn off shadows and textures while developing the scenes or model.

                              Question?
                              Best choice ?
                              Core2 Quad or i5 update to speed up or eliminate the lag time or ??.

                              Modest system for check.
                              Core2 duo 8500 3.0 Hz
                              Win XP Pro SP2
                              4G ram
                              Gforce 9500 1MB

                              Thank you Google et all

                                    so how long has it been since the release of 7.0 ❓ now 7.1 is released just to get things (not quite) to where 7.0 should have been and everyone seems ready to bow to the google gods 🤣

                                    I think not! there are many scripters here that single handedly double the value of SU, FOR FREE. i bow only to them. THANKYOU scripters, without you i would break my SU CD into 50 pieces and flush it down the toilet. until SU developers put every function that the scripters have added, into the core program, they will get NO respect from me. 😉

                                    juggling toolbars... rediculous... shameful. 😡

                                          Reset workspace (unfortunately) won't do anything with screwed up toolbars - it's only for "lost dialogs" that went off-screen for any reason.

                                            My point as well. Why not keep 7.x as it is faster.
