Hi stefano,
re:

> or duplicated a user can later on change the single master hole diameter to change

One method that could work for this already within current capabilities would be to assign a name to the hole's face or edge object.
After the name has been set there will be an entry for it in the "Objects" section of the Scene Browser and you can go there to select all of the hole geometry with one click.
One issue that could complicate that is that when an object is contained inside of a group the name only shows up as a child of the group instead of showing at the top level. Maybe that could be solved by having an option that you could set on objects for having the name appear at the top level or inside of the parent group...

hi michael yes was thinking along those lines; as i saw some holes in the above thread (already extruded and part of a solid being moved around). i iwas curious if theres some smart way to make punched out or pass through holes all change size quickly in a click or two, eg could this also work with holes in sheet metal. typical example change all 5mm pass through holes in 3mm aluminium sheet to 5.3mm. i dont relly want to have to select all the indicidual holes just select the "named object" change the radius / diameter and maybe the object type name to "hole 5.3mm" and they all change...fyi: just back from a trip and not in work mode or front of pc with your new beta installed.

How to add code in MOI3D to run batch files (.bat) in WIN10?
From: Michael Gibson
Hi feirui445,
re:
> How to add code in MOI3D to run batch files (.bat) in WIN10?
You can set up a shortcut key that will launch a batch file when the key is pressed, is that what you want?
Put this as the "Command" part of the shortcut key (note use additional backslash \ because that is the escape character in javascript):
script: moi.filesystem.shellExecute( 'c:\\scripts\\test.bat' );

So, faces can be manipulated... can edges be manipulated as well, or is it faces only?

Hi,
i tried to install the new beta on my MacBook pro (Core i9, 2015) with Sonoma (14.7.2). But when i run the terminal and type in the password: No success.
Only a password character appears, but no cursor. I have no way of entering a password. I tried entering my password, and I tried copying and pasting it. But nothing worked. Does anyone know what's going on?
Oh man, I'm such an idiot! I entered my MOI license code instead of my device password. Now it works. Sorry for my unnecessary post.
Best regards
Wolfgang

Don't worry. These things happen.
Happened to me the first few times I used Linux, actually.

With this new beta, when I right click to orbit (about half the time) it opens up a file open dialog when I release the right mouse button. Any ideas?

Hi Len,
re:

Are you doing a right click to orbit but then releasing the button without any movement?
When you right click in a viewport like that it's a shortcut for pushing the "Done" button or if you are not currently in a command it will repeat the last used command. If you have just opened a file then the last used command is Open.
If you don't want the Open command to repeat like that there is a setting in moi.ini you can use. Go to Options > General > "Edit .ini file" button and in the [Commands] section there is a setting NonRepeatingCommands, add open to it so it looks like this:
NonRepeatingCommands=delete undo redo open
