Condoc Tools: Thoughts? Opinions?
-
The relevance of this may have passed but....
I have been using ConDoc Tools since January - the approach and model organisation concept work great for me, very logical and helps me keep track of things really well. When the software works it works well, when it doesn't it is a right royal pain in the **s. The is pretty much zero support. There is a dedicated 'professional' forum - http://www.suexch.com but pretty much nothing ever gets replied to and unless someone starts being publicly negative and kicking up a stink nothing happens. I tend to find Layout pretty flaky anyway (on a mac) so that does not help.
In a nutshell - nice try but no cigar!
I really really wanted the plugin to work - it seemed like a panacea at the time but its just pretty random so the approach and org time payoff are negated by the amount of tim you have to troubleshoot a black box.

Hello Mike -
I have been using your workflow for more than a year and am now using SU for all my residential construction documents.While Condoc's looks interesting, I have some concerns about being able to fully control the aesthetic quality of my CD's using Condoc's. Of course the time savings would be great (manually stacking the view ports gets old), but I fear in using Condoc's all the time savings would be undone by having to go back and redo hatch patterns and line weights to my specific needs.
How would I address this concern using Condocs?
Thanks,
Barbara
