Exporting Shape files

Michael Mayer

I see them, behind Shape official ....

Tom Foster

Here's what I see - is yours different?

Michael Mayer

Sorry, didn't read your post and thought you see no Shape Beta ....
I have exactly the same,
(beside I activated all 3 OSs)
only Shape offered for Beta notification.

Recently we had to make some changes regarding beta access, there's still a couple of things we need to correct.
You will be able to manage all those subscriptions yourself if you have the right kind of access, for BricsCAD and Shape alike.

Thanks Ignace.

What I would like is a notification for ANY new official or Beta if applicable,
(even Sub) Release of Bricscad or Shape.
I nearly missed the latest Bricscad v19 BIM version,
while filing SR's that may be already obsolete.

And it would be nice if Shape would be added to our user account's
Download Section. To be able to check versions currently available for all
Apps and OSs at the same place.
Thanks that the user account has at least a Bricscad Home Icon now to
start searching for Shape.
I still miss such an Icon/Link to Bricscad's Homepage from this Forum.
When I hear about a new Versions here, I have to type URLs or search my
bookmarks.

And as I can't remember the release numbers for all Apps and OSs, I always
need to open the App or watch the release notes if the release date is
an indication that I could really have still an older version.
In doubt, I download again, just in case, to notice later I was already current.

Of course,
an Auto Update Checking System from Bricscad or Shape with each start,
that will notify users (only) if there is an Update available,
which is able to download and start an update directly
(and only needs to download those files that have really changed)
would be even better.

Do you not save your downloads in C:\Downloads? - look there to see your version.

Michael Mayer

No, in Downloads Folder - until I installed.
Then I will clean up and move them to my Data Disk.
But basically it is Shape + BC times Windows, macOS and
in the wort case 3 Editions of Linux.
Switching through my Software Folder's subfolder hierarchy
isn't that funny either.
In the worst case it wasn't even the latest version I downloaded
because I was in deadlines and a hurry.

And when I hear of 1 new release I usually gor through all
Bricsys Download places, in case other OS had new versions too

Blimey - life on the cutting edge!
