Hi,<p> I just browsed the enhancements list on this site for the first time. First, great idea! Second, some notes on two items:<p> <dl> <dt><em>Support for session files</em> <dd>Session and environment files are always tricky - not so much because of versioning issues, but because they usually contain path settings which are only valid on one machine. Therefore, even if you use the same version of SolidDesigner on two PCs or workstations, one machine might be able to load a session file, while the next one can't.<p> Another point to be aware of is that standard, non-package/non-session SolidDesigner files support fine-grained collaboration and might be preferrable for that reason alone.<p> Even without full official support, it is not adventurous to rely on session files if you want to use them. A session file consists of a package file plus an environment file. You can unpack the package part of a session file and simply load that if the environment part has a problem (such as a machine dependency). To load a session file as a package file, simply use LOAD PACKAGE and enter the name of a session file.<p> <dt><em>Ellipses</em> <dd>SolidDesigner 6.0 has several options to create ellipses (Create 2D/Contour menu).<p> </dl> <p> Hope this helps,<p> Claus

Hi,<p> I noticed that a new request (for high-resolution screendumps on NT) came in today in the enhancements list. I am not sure who posted this, but it would be interesting for us to hear a few more details on this, such as which paper sizes and printers you will typically use for this.<p> Thanks!<p> &nbsp;&nbsp;Claus
