Hi My first time here I just downloaded Rhino 8 WIP and updated to the latest version. I was very interested in the constraints options but it does not work, or am I missing something? I go to the menu/windows/ panels /constraints to get the window and Rhino Returns with the following: Command:…

Thanks for the feedback, I think it has allot of value in the die line industry so I hope to see it in the future. I does save allot of time than trying to build it in grasshopper.

I wish I had seen this before starting a 90 day trial for V8. The lack of a constraint system and difficulty getting used to the UI organisation are the main hindrances to moving over from my current software. Is it a fair guess to assume v9 complete with constraints will be at least 3 years away?

Hi Brian - [image] Brian Buxton: Is it a fair guess to assume v9 complete with constraints will be at least 3 years away? The 3 years ballpark guess for a Rhino 9 release is fair, yes. Whether that version will have constraints depends on that project getting better defined, though. [ima…
