SW 2007 SP2 is up

SP 2 is up and available. Nice laundry list of fixes.

Please post your SP2 gripes here. I don't know if I'm up to the task
of being a guinea pig again.

 

They listed that they fixed SPR 336278 "Can not open DLL's created in
VB6.0 in SW2007x32" but it still doesn't work. I was REALLY counting
on that one too. 0 for 1 so far.

 

spline comb

Unfortunately I think this is most likely a lost cause.
Someone has decided a fuzzy caterpillar is what is good for us to see.
Most probably it appeals to the GUI artist....
It would be nice if they had paid attention to the feedback they
recieved and contrived a fix for the loopy excursion that prompted the
review.

It seems to be that the only area of concern was at the crossing points
and that it was affected mostly by scale.
Perhaps they could have had a simple modifier that where the displayed
comb crosses at an angle greater than 45 deg say and the slope of the
comb is reversed before the previous curvature point the drawing of a
continuous line is suspended and a dashed straight line is drawn
between the last point on the curves and the crossing point.
In this way when the condition for inaccuracy arises it is
automatically suspended (autoranging) at the crossing but is correct
either side of it...ha I am talking in knots )
I hope you can see what I am saying - maybe I should post a pic on the
SW forum?

 

(blah blah neil..)
yeah ok I put a pic and description of my idea in a reply to your
latest post at the SW 'sketching' forum

 

I spent 3 hours yesterday with a large single part weldment and then
creating the drawings. It's a simple frame but with a lot of members
(he said member . . .)

Never crashed with SP2. I did notice that even though my part file was
10. mb, the drawing was only 645 kb. I'm going to have to go redo this
weldment in 2006 and re-create the drawing, but I swear I remember my
drawings being a lot bigger. Maybe the file size compression is working
now.

I've been using it and so far have not run into anything that jumps out at
me.

Lovely. I need to do some mod's to my custom property tool
XMLPropWorks, but can't because if I recompile it it won't load in
2007.

Bleah!
