blm Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 The WMF export is not working. When exporting a WMF file the program creates a PDF file and replaces the file format from PDF to WMF. And is there a chance that the program gets an EMF export? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ophie Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Love this update. My gripes with some things like sluggish element selection and RGB Hex color pasting were fixed and everything seems to be working fine enough that I'm using it for a real world task. EDIT: Actually, upon further using the RGB Hex panel, the problem still persists I made a separate topic for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgielaa Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi there, been a serif customer for donkeys years and have copies of a lot of your programs. My question is, are the updates cumulative, meaning does it matter if you miss one of them and load the newest straight over the version that you have? Kind regards, Georgielaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akehisone Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm currently on 1.05.04 and kinda hesitate to update, after reading some of the comments. But since AD keeps crashing when editing text (change font type), I guess I will have to update then. May 1.05.05 be stable. Update : Installed 1.05.05, still crashes when editing text (change font type) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwwii Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 thanks for the new release! I have two problems in using AD. 1. I can't find any way to set a keyboard shortcut to the "color picker tool" in "Draw persona" 2. I'm using the Chinese language .and when I click on the "view--studio--assets",the AD just crashed. Thanks for your works again! I can't wait to buy the final release of AD for win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeine Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Alfred, thank! Sorry, I did not immediately understand the structure of this forum, and my English is not that what I would like. There is more trouble in the program: the font is lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Harris Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 My question is, are the updates cumulative, meaning does it matter if you miss one of them and load the newest straight over the version that you have?

johnsawan79 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hi mark, I finding an issue regarding shortcut keys that involves the usage of numeric keyboard. for example zooming to fit, actual size etc... its working only if using the number key below the function keys, it does not execute the shortcut commands when using the dedicated numeric keypads on the right side of the keyboard...
