      did some tests with the Speed Test model:


      SU7.0 - no shadows (also system specs)


      SU7.0 shadows


      SU7.1 no shadows (first run)


      SU7.1 shadows


      SU7.1 no shadows (second run - notice speed difference from first run. - strange)

        Version 7.1 sounds worth the upgrade, and I did try to update my Pro on Vista this morning. But the update failed. I'll try again when I get back to my office this evening and post details of the error if it re-occurs, but has anyone else had problems with the upgrade?

        Life's a reach, and then you gybe.

          Did you try an automatic update from SU or a straight download of the exe file from the SU site first?

            I used the automatic update link, but this just downloaded the EXE any way. I used Run as Administrator on the downloaded file.

                Hm. I don't know what the issue can be - true that I am on an XP (hopefully someone using Vista can chime in).

                If it fails again, can you report it in the Bug Reports subforum? I believe "Googlers" will be monitoring that department more frequently in the near future.

                  The download may have corrupted, so it might be worth downloading it again just in case.

                    Great, it spins around SU7. Support of larger models is very helpfull and it seems that zooming was improved as well.
                    Switching on camera parallel projection I can zoom into small details almost indefinitely..

                    Omission of Dwg/Dxf import in free version ... well SU 6 will fix that....and I will probably upgrade to PRO 8.. 9 later ( depends on 2D tools improvements in LayOut..etc)

                      very good news to wake up to. It is a step in the right direction and hopefully it is a sign of things to come. Lets see how SU likes some xfrog trees now.

                            Ok how do I go about updating this...I tried the "check for updates" option within SU and it say that I already have the lates version, but I am still running version 6. Then I went to the website and cant find anything about a free update. It is free to go from 6 to 7.1 right?

                                  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.

                                      You can download dxf/dwg plugin from the Google site.

                                          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.
