That's true. 2016 is just running 98% perfectly for me on Linux. 2020 has gold rating on Wine compat. layer. I have to try on my Win8 lap. how 2017 feels.

Well that's sad. I feel so sharp and easy drawing on 2016. Just sticking to 2016.

Did the snapping behavior change somehow when SU moved from 2016 to 2017? Is it same on 2020?
Midpoint snapping is usually showing just a square. Not the blue dot? Well, randomly yes. Snapping seems to have very random behavior now?

Perhaps it's just because I'm running SU on Linux?

Very nice! It was easy to make eight compass point views, scenes: Images folder, set center point, set start view. Edit config: Duration 8s, FPS 1.

Next level from this is: How to "carve out" more forms for petals, center. Perhaps same start with one full 3D, open ends petal, rotate copies? Trying to avoid inner faces. Or afterwards with plugins like Round Corner? Here I tried to keep the thing sturdy enough for a 3D printer.

Is drawhelix14 still available ?

I have here one cheap drawing tablet. First try: I don't know if this is easier or clumsier. This thing with SU needs some practising. Perhaps the cursor speed which I use with Inkscape is too slow.

Nice! I wonder if Johnny is still there?

I will try to adjust at least the mouse scroll wheel; faster... Scrolling feels now most irritating.

Too much sports & 3D sketching in bad position has made elbow,wrist,finger problems for me. I wonder what is a correct elbow / wrist position?

I found a exercise which helps a lot and now done with two hands I call it "A Bat From Wuhan" (this hard time & how you look when doing it). http://www.healthline.com/health/fitness-exercise/cubital-tunnel-syndrome-exercises#6 Exercise number 4 on the page.

Already I have recovered a lot from the "numbness" and lately I've been doing light woodworking projects and "left handed" video editing:
