Default are you guys happy with the new version of the Bentley?

I just called them and they caught me off guard by answering on the first ring!

My wiring diagram issue is either the version of IE or Acrobat being too new.

I would consider downgrading either to fix the problem BUT I do like the multiple PC option of the new version.

Paul - I recall you're initial reaction was not too hot. Are you happy with it now?

Default I like it much better with the new version

You can activate/deactivate the serial numbers, it has better hyperlink control, both the D2 and D3 are controlled from the same program (I purchased both) but you can no longer copy images by right clicking on them....you need to do a print screen and then crop it in Photoshop.

I'm sure it's a PC problem or maybe a firewall problem with your PDF problem.

Default I am not

I used to have the old version for my S4. When I bought the S8 and I ordered the Bentley for it, the new version came. I installed it and then .....guess what my computer crashed. the two different versions of ebahn readers were incompatible to be installed on the same computer. I had to upgrade$$ my B5 license. Because of the crash I lost one of the licenses also.
The other thing is that it is very slow on my old computer. Print quality is lower than the earlier version, and I am sure they did this to avoid the printing to pdf option. It somehow makes everything as one image when you print.
If I knew all these, even though I am against piracy, I would just get ELSA . Not that that one is trouble free since it is for dealers only but at least the prints are of good quality.
