        It's more like 7.2 release!

          Have to admit I'm a little disappointed. Especially with Layout. They could do so much more with this program. As far as I can tell, they've added "angled dimensions" and "dwg/dxf export". It seems like the biggest advancement is being able to get stuff OUT of Layout and into another program with more functionality. Sigh, somebody please tell me i'm missing something.

          Sketchup looks okay: -solid tools, save toolbar locations, view back edges option.

          Problem is, people are paying to get Layout and my question right now is, why?

            With no X64 or major improvements, shouldn't this be version 7.2?

                  It still shows as V7.1 on the download page, but if you download and open - you see it it really V8!

                      Good question - I see the v8 downloads, but no information of the v8 upgrade is free for existing users of Pro or not.

                      Life's a reach, and then you gybe.

                        Historically Pro has not had free upgrades - but at a discount. I assume this to be the case this time as well.

                          you get the standard 480 minutes of use.
                          i imagine that there will be a charge for the upgrade as it has jumped from 7.1?? to 8.

                            Found it. It's the usual 95.00 to upgrade.

                            Really gonna give this some serious thought google. Not impressed with the last 4 years of development.

                              the solids tools and extra view back lines would speed my work.
                              i'm sure i could get the solids tool functionality from rubies... but.

                              have to think about it.
                              and see if it is any quicker with geometry.

                              adding angles to layout is also overdue...

                                  Solid tools...bool tools cost around 20 $...I hope there're others improvements...does google knows what RPO means ? I don't want to throw the stone as I did not test this 8 version for the moment, but I really hope they do not fool us again...

                                      Just installed the free version, it seems I can run both the new one and the old 7.08, this is great to discover the new features "safely" 😍

                                        It appears that the implementation of OpenGl is improved. V8 runs with hardware acceleration on my graphically impaired home PC. However some of my plugins do not load.

                                          I guess my main question about this is

                                          Does and update such as this usually include more options for the ruby writers?

                                          dotdotdot

                                            Can you please make a post in the affected plugin's thread? (include any error if you get any)
