The conclusion is justified that the initialization of the development of critical subsystem optimizes the probability of success to the development of the technical behavior over a given period.

Raster file support has been expanded to include several new file formats, including MrSID, ECW, and JPEG2000.

The new ARRAY is very stylish. I like the command line auto-search too. Maybe now I will slowly start adopting the Ribbon since it seems to have been finely tuned in performance.

I have to say I'm excited for some of these additions.

That Array functionality looks familiar...

And the 'path' mode looks like it'll render some of our LISP programs obsolete...

My first thought with some of the upgrades, such as array, copy, fillet, was that "Hey, they've been watching what some of the Swamp gurus have been doing with grread!"

sincerely not impressed

if this is in anyway indicative of what the C3D user can expect from 2012, some of you might want to just IGNORE me right now, or if you already are, IGNORE me again already.....

Perhaps it is all the beef I ate in south Dakota last week, I've got Mad Cow Disease.
From my read, the only good news is the lack of DWG format change.
Everything else reads a lot like a much needed Service Pack, than a Release Chock Full of NEW!
Perhaps I should just go buy a pair of Fan Boy Pants, Polo, and Tinted Glasses?

I have to agree with Michael. It seems like they ran out of ideas so they 'fixed' a few old commands and slapped a 2012 label on it.

That's pretty much what I see.

However, that's kind of in keeping with their general cycle of changes, year to year, and should have been expected.  Sucks, but I assumed it was coming.  This was the year for general bug fixes, performance upgrades, and command feature-tweaking.  Happened 3 years ago, it'll happen 3 years from now as well.

Maybe if they'd stopped trying to put out an annual release and just release when a version is ready, they might be in better shape. I remember a time when it didn't come out every year.
