re: Illustrator clipboard AI format - I've got that working now for the next v3 beta.

The advantage to AI format as compared to PDF is that layers will also come over into Illustrator with AI format, as long as "Paste Remembers Layers" is enabled on the Illustrator layer panel menu.

So anyway that should be fixed in the next beta.

Great update, thanks Michael !

Great Update - thanks a ton Michael!!!
Will check it out ASAP.

Good to have the "calculation failed" message - I seem to have that problem a lot ;-)

Illustrator <-> MoI is extremely useful. I don't really enjoy working in Illustrator but some tools are good and some jobs need it, so a fluid interchange it worth a lot.

Everything else looks very helpful as well.

One question: The one area I'd love to see improved is filleting, from more precise/less failures to variable radius and dealing with fillets that end in a single point etc.. Now I read in some threads that this is mainly related to the library you are using. Now I wonder if there is a way to improve this area despite this library or use a different library or is it an area you would recommend using a different software for, even long term? If the latter, do you have a recommendation in the not too expensive range?

Thank you very much!

Tom

In the long term I am hoping to try using a different library for filleting to improve the results. It's a major undertaking so I'm uncertain exactly when that will happen.

In the meantime one inexpensive program that can do better filleting is ViaCAD: http://www.punchcad.com/p-9-viacad-2d3d-v8.aspx that may be worth a try to see if it helps you out.

Thank you Michael!

The AI format to ClipBoard works fine with the amazing free Expression 3! (Old Creature House)

An exception is occuring when you choose only 2 points for a Loft! ;)
So an Alert message must be created!

Hi Pilou,

Thanks for reporting this bug, I will tune it up for the next beta so that selecting only 2 points will just do nothing for Loft instead of generating a script error.
