Thorsten - I have today noticed another minor irritation with the beta.

Environment:
Ti PowerBook G4, 1GHz, 1GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.11

The "open recent file" sub-menu lists the files with the most recent
one at the bottom, which is different to any other application I've
used, and I'm sure the most recent was at the top in previous
versions of CADintosh.

Looks as though I'm the only person in the world still using
CADintosh (or who wants to keep using it), as no-one else seems to
have posted any bug reports for this beta.

Maybe that means CADintosh is no longer economic for you to develop?

I haven't seen any response from you to my queries about sheets/pages
posted on 2009-03-18.

Thorsten - I had no response to this query. I still cannot see any
way to open the "pages" from within CADintosh, and the duplication of
the file still occurs the same as before.

Re: [cadintoshmac] [ANN] CADintosh 6.1b0 Hello Rownland,

You access that normally from the Options/Drawing.

Thorsten - thanks for the advice. I tried this (find I need to have a
drawing open or the menu is greyed-out) and discovered that it
crashed CADintosh.

Process followed:

Open the CADintosh beta application.
Choose "new" from the file menu.
Choose "drawing..." from the options menu.
Choose "A3" from the paper size pop-up menu.
After a short pause, the application disappears and I get the
"unexpectedly quit" dialogue.

I've tried a couple of different paper sizes with the same effect.

Let me know if you want a crash log (be explicit about how I should
obtain it!).
