DanDearborn Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The year is rapidly coming to and end and thus far I haven't seen or heard anything at all about X11. Usually by this time Chief has released the highlights of the new features. Generally speaking over the years (IMHO) the less Chief has had to say about a pending release, the more underwhelming it turns out to be. Offering concrete information regarding a pending release creates trust. On the other hand, refusing to do so demands faith. Call me crazy, but I only have faith when I am using other people's money........ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"*Chief Architect X11 release scheduled for Q1 2019" I personally get the feeling it's going to be a pretty big upgrade along with an interface overhaul to hopefully get away from the early 2000's cartoonish look we're sporting now.

CARMELHILL Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 They typically have it released, at least in Beta, for the National Builders Show. This year it's in Vegas on Feb 19th. They have a very large presentation booth, look at the exhibit floor plans for the North Hall. So I too am expecting a pretty big release. I don't know about the interface though. I'm not convinced they felt the need to update it, yet. But maybe they remodeled it after the Archicad, Revit, Bricscad ribbon theme. That would leave Vectorworks with the award for worst Graphical User Interface. But......but....a big release inevitably means lots of bugs. So no moaning and groaning when it comes out. We asked for features and tools. Let's help the programmers with feedback and bug reports, not bitching and moaning. Cheers. Merry Xmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAcygrymus Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Received an email offer to buy out my rental for a discount, so I suspected X11 will be right around the corner. With tne beta announcement it appears I was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using CA since 1997, I don't use technical support, don't need it. In my business, I give long term customers a better price. I don't reward ones that leave and come back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electromen Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It IS frustrating. Comcast is a good example. Every few years I switch from a residential to a business account and vice versa just to get a better deal. Tonight, I signed my wife up for a food vendor that I buy from regularly just to get 30% off for new customers. It worked, the only difference is her email and name, instead of mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARMELHILL Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 My wife has these coupons down to a science. Before entering any store she signs up for their mailing list o downloads their app. When we're half way through the store shopping she receives a $20 coupon. She received "Kohls cash" to match every dollar she spends. We eat out 3 times a week for $25 for a family of four at Applebees, Ruby Tuesday, and Outback. Today she received a $20 coupon for Pottery Barn while we were on the checkout line buying a blanket for my daughter. She cancels our satelite radio subscription the day before it's set to auto renew at full price every single time. They call her next day and give her a crazy new deal to keep her enrolled. It's insane. But I can't keep up with here. But cable TV screws us no matter what. If I put her in charge of my expenses she would have Chief sending me X12 in advance, at no cost and I'd already have 5G phone service. But then she'd also see all the purchases that she's not supposed to know about....drones, planes, helicopters, surfboards..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
