Hi,
I have trying out the demo of Concepts 2D and I really like it.
But there is one thing that I don't like it. It is the line pattern.
When you draw a line, let's say with hidden or center styles, the beginning and the end of the line are not the same (see picture attached). I would like to know if there is a way to fix it before I change my mind about buying the software.

Thanks for the heads up on the line pattern issue. We've been discussing a variety of upcoming enhancements specific to 2D that this falls into.

Will this issue be fixed for the next release of Concepts2d?
If it is so, when will be released?

Tim & development team:

I hope this would include being able to modify default style settings and display weights. This has really held me back in terms of being able to draft at a speed equal to graphite.

In graphite I can customize a line style, set a shortcut to that style and draw away. In CU, either use the presets (not always to my liking regarding weights etc.) or add a new style and no longer have accesability to shortcuts.

That's a good point.

Maybe there could even be a little window with samples of line styles, text, dimension settings, and so forth you'd set up, where you could edit them and see real-time what you've done. Then just click on the one you want to use.

Yes, we need to revist the way in which we support text, pen, dimension attributes and changes.

This sounds very nice. Please take a look at how Apple does the Inspector in the program called Pages. You could take some ideas from them.

Include panes or windows for Pen, Text, Dimensions, maybe even Verify...

Several other windows could be rolled into an Inspector as well, cleaning things up nicely. Allow for more than one Inspector to be open at once, just as Apple does.

I totally agree with SK8, Pages has a very good inspector (and Keynotes too)!
