I'm only using DS with Bryce, and it works pretty well, other than that linkage deal...which if you;re not careful can change a lot of work if you go back into DS. It would be nice to have an unlink and relink function for specific objects. That new version fixed over 300 bugs, according to the release, as well

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
