Dave,

You answered all my questions.

Thank you so much.

Hey Folks,

I am a furniture woodworker. Have been using SU since the days 'Google' was steering the program. All this while I've used the 'free' version. I've always lusted for the 'real-deal', but did not want to cut into my beer allowance to purchase it.

After all these years I'm almost ready to jump in, but have the following questions to ask:

• Can SU-Pro be used off line?
• When the year subscription expires is the program rendered inoperative?
• Is it a bit 'over-kill' for general furniture design?

I'm currently using SU Make v 17.3.116.

Thanks......

Dave R,

Big-10/4 on the driver. Came to find out today that one of my 'aftermarket' ink jet cartridges was kaput. I have new ones coming tomorrow.

Man,,,, these ink jet printers are certainly convenient, but the ink is outrageous.

Thanks for the assistance....

Mike

Oh, gonna update my profile as you suggest.....

Dave R,

Thanks for the advise. I'll try using a generic printer driver for SU. I'll update my profile.

See Ya,

Hey Folks,

I've been using SU through lots of generations and enjoy it. Now I using the free version of SU v17. All has be good until recently.... It only will print in red ink.

My furniture drawings are 'build-out' only, nothing fancy. I use a HP Ink Jet Envoy printer. Only my SU drawings print in red. All other doc's are OK.

Any suggestions....?

Mike

Dave R,

A follow-up to my last post pertaining to my Extension Manager issue. Happy to state that the issue is no longer a nuisance. After I changed my account password and re-logged into ExMgr all started to work correctly. Whew....

I want you to know that I did follow your*'black tape'* advise. I installed a couple of strips of the tape to my old Trundra's instrument panel and those*'pesky'* red lights disappeared....... (grin).

Anyway, here are three of my build-to plans and photo's. Remember that the drawings are not glamorous they are just 'build-to'. The pretty stuff comes during the build. Also, during the build evolution some adjustments may happen.

You could send it via a PM if you don't want to make it public.

Dave R,

Give me a day or two and I'll send you a couple of builds. I don't mind using this string 'cause about the only thing I keep private is my underwear size.

Oh,, remember that my SU plans are notglamorous with radius on the edges and textures, etc. I go through three stages of a project; dream it up in in my (little) brain, use SU to draw build plans, and then make some sawdust.

As to my 'Extension Update' issue I think it is resolved. A few days ago I had troubles logging into my account. I had to change my password. So, I think that the 'Extension Warehouse' was a little confused with my updating inputs. Anyway, today I once again logged out of all of the SU's and re-logged back in. Opened SU17, got the 'Update' pop-up, clicked on the 'update' button for all five and so far all is GUUUUUUUD.. ! I think that my account just took a little time to straighten out and get the word to the warehouse.

If all the 'responders & commenters' on this string are reading I thank you for the input and assistants......

Bye, now....

They are extensions that ship with SU and as such you can't remove them as they will just be auto installed next time you open SU and they will be the old versions.

Box,

Thanks for the reply. So, the five '.rdz' extensions are mandatory to keep in SU17? Boy,,, 'that bites the big one'. It'll be easier for me to just keep clicking the Ignore button at start-up than hassling with reinstalling the five extensions that I'll never use.

Oh well, such is life out here in the big-time. Makes me reconsider spending $600 for the full program. I guess I could reinstall my old trusty SU v8 if I get too frustrated.

Again, thanks for the input............

When I did, I got an 'OK' each time I click on the 'Update' button, no joy.

Did you try signing out of the Extension Warehouse (in Extension Warehouse) and then sign in again?

@damathecat said:

I draw 'build-out' plans for furniture.

Could you share one of your plans? I'd be interested to see them.

DaveR,

I'd be happy to send you a SU copy of on of my builds, but it would be in SU v8. Let me know.

And yes I did what you asked...... three times.

DaveR,.

Yes, I did twice sign out of the 'actual' Extension Warehouse, thin I signed back in, then I exited all the way out, re-opened the Extension Warehouse, and selected 'Uninstall' the five plugins. I then open SU17 and got the same....... (see below)

I really thank you for the concern.....
