Non-Beta LayOut?

Odlanier · 14 May 2008, 12:32

Though LO was a good attempt as a seamless PlugIn for hard copies it failed to deliver for large projects and it never got fast enough for efficient prodution.

I had to give up on LO for construction docs. I spent ages trying to print A2 sheets and couldn`t. Nobody could explain why it kept coming out as a set of several lettersize sheets. I still use friendly SU for 3D modelling, though.

According to the posts I've seen here it appears that LO has been left with no improvement plans from Google.

Does anyone know whether there will be any LO 1.0 version soon and what this version will hold?

Cheers

There will be another version of LO. No release date or functionality can
be discussed because things can change all the way up to the release date.

I had the same problem. I had to set the paper size in LO and then when printing
I also had to set the paper size in the printer dialog.

I found out this double paper setting pretty early. Seriously it is not a good way to do things but hey, we are SU users after all and can always find out workarounds!

Ok Gaieus, right again.

However, I'd stilll wish I could have a one-stop design session in a properly fitted SU-LO match, rather than resorting back to, non-SU-non-intuitive-semipro clumsy CADs.

Let's make it one more item in my LO wish list.

Cheers

(Besides, to be honest, I never found answers for that workaround. And it hurts when you need to switch SU off to go elsewhere to finish. It's so much fun! the nearly best design e-tool I've ever had. The very best one will be SULO 7... I hope)
