Sorry my last post was a little vague. The Net Zoom applications like Rack Builder, etc aren't really ready for prime time and can't compete with D-Tools at all. I was referring only to the shapes and the fact that they have a lot of data for recently shipping products. I've had to create a lot more D-Tools products because they weren't available than ask for NetZoom stencils. They have pretty good detail and scale to any size. The process to add the shapes into D-Tools is pretty straight forward once you do it a couple times. The user guide on pp 233-5 is all you really need to read. That said, as I new user, I'm finally starting to get a feel for all the steps required to setup the data base and use custom stencils. I'd love to read your document too, to see if I missed anything. My icons still look pretty weak. I think there is some command that makes the icon look like the bitmap, but I can't remember how to do it. It was shown in the training class but was never in the documentation, so I forgot.
That said, one thing I can't figure out is that once I change the visualization in the product, is how to easily update the shape views in other projects that show the old shapes on the plans. Any suggestions?
