V8.0.11
I was just wandering how many here are running V8.0.11 and consider it stable?I'm having trouble printing, working in drawings with blocks, and working at multiple drawings at the same time. (Bricscad crashes a lot)I've decreased my autosave time to 15 minutes, but unfortunately, saving drawings sometimes also causes a crash :(Just curious how "the rest" is doing.

We have feedback on crashes and also slow panning and zooming and are investigating further on their hardware system, the drawings file sizes and also virus free system to ascertain the unexpected performance.

Haven't got that far. I'm still trying to work out how to make it start up with all the functionality I have with V7 - like paths, custom menus and loading lisps on startup.Does anyone know where the middle mouse button snap menu has gone, when you turn Mbuttonpan off?Is it deliberate that "i" for Insert now brings up the command line Insert?

Trying to train the beast. 1. There is only a hint that that the main lisp routine should be "On_start.lsp". It was Icad.lsp in the previous version (Ver. 7). Why the change ? and any way, is there a documentation about "LispEx.lsp"? what is it for ?2. As the previous version did not have the ability to export the Menu in an acad format (only .*icm) , I had to import a working one from Acad in a *.cui format. Code that contain text in hebrew and worked well on the previous version, dose not work here.3. Any line containing hebrew text in *.dcl files that accompany the appropriate lisp routine, is generating an error. Not so in Version 7.4. A floating toolbar that is too long to be contained in an empty space for docking, will show only a part of it.5. I tried to add a shortcut that points to a lisp routine, to no avail. I was stopped by a demand to choose a Tool id from a menu.6. Documentation is very poor. Actually it do not exist. Any thing I find is only by means of try and error.This is as far as I got. Put aside the New version, and Still using the Previouse one.7. May I suggest that the people of Bricsys will make a routine that will immigrate menus, configuration, shortcuts, etc. from the old version to the new one, just as it is done with other software.Thanks in advance.Raam

John,with respect to that 'insert' command: In Tools/Customize/Aliases , left pane change the command for alias 'i' from INSERT to DDINSERT.Now my questions are: -where does V8 store this information? -how to make use of the PGP files?-which PGPgets loaded Default.pgp or BricsCad.pgp?I agree with Raam: A bit of documentation should help a lot in stead of having to 'invert the wheel' by yourself.Arno van Eeuwen

I thought that would be it, Arno. Just wondered why it has changed."On_start_default.lsp and on_doc_load_default.lsp replace icad.lsp and are the Lisp files that are autoloaded at application start and document load. These autoloaded files are managed by the Bricscad application. On_start.lsp and on_doc_load.lsp are the autoloaded lisp files to be created/maintained by users" - which one of those gets loaded?

Interesting question.I made those two lsp files with a simple command:on_start.lsp does: (princ "\nBricsCad V8 Started")on_doc_load.lsp does:(princ "\Document loaded")I'd expect the first and second one to execute on start of V8; the second one only on opening a (new) document, but they both fire.... Now further on customization: Anybody out there a bit familiar with XML files?I've managed to add my own menu item with sub item which calls an executable, by modifying an existing CUI file.Is there a posibility to create your own menu(group) which can be merged into an existing (standard) menu?Any documentation on this subject available?T.I.A.Arno van Eeuwen

Hello all,it would be really helpful if each issue were reported using a Support Request instead of discussing or listing them on the forum: support requests are assigned directly to the developer concerned, which allows fast processing of the issues. Especially in the current vacation period with its typical understaffing this saves precious time...Now to reply to some of the above questions:** Icad.lsp was changed to offer finer control. It was replaced by 4 auto-loaded files. The files that come with the program are on_start_default.lsp on_doc_load_default.lspwhile the user created files are on_start.lsp on_doc_load.lspIn order to avoid overwriting changes made by a user, we make a distinction between the default files, which come with the program, and those created by the user. The ACADLSPASDOC system variable controls whether on_start_default.lsp and on_start.lsp are loaded only at session start or every time a drawing is loaded. As Arno found out, the setting is disobeyed. This will be fixed in V8.0.12 (next week).** We are currently looking into the issues mentioned with Hebrew text.** The alias definitions are stored in a file named default.pgp. The name of this file is fixed and there is only one .pgp file. Users who took part in the Alpha and Beta testing may find a file named bricscad.pgp on their system, it is no longer used and was renamed to default.pgp.** documentation and further extension of the possibilities of the new menu and toolbar editing is scheduled for the coming weeks.

Hello HansOk for the support request, but here, users as me can follow the topic without to take part in.Following the topic is important because that prepares me for a better use of the program when i will purchase it.Thx- RSTAS
