Sorry Razor: for the color it could have been easy to include characters color choice in the preferences tab as it is already possible to change the color of the labels for bins which also affects the layers in the timeline.

As for the help Adobe has if I remember well (had to check for the actual CC2014 and CC2015) a page where you have the help files converted to pdf files printable and savable .

Moreover there are lots of very cheap software on the web enabling conversion of HTML files or similar to pdf or word ones.

The same goes with the size of characters unless I'm mistaken the option to change the size of characters to a certain limit of course exists in Blender why not in DAZ where they are so small you can't read them.Software are not conceived for people under 30 only or so I hope Where are we in the world of Soylent Green ???.

But of course if you forget to set up those options at the beginning of the development later it becomes more difficult because of the complexity of the software.

Horses are animals but all the animals are not  horses! It's not because 95% of users are satisfied that the 5% remaining should be considered, well I wont use the word, read my lips! Moreover a company cant win on all levels, to get a 100% return on investment is impossible and the higher the return the higher the risk of seeing the company going bankrupt that's what the investors have still not understood ie all the recent failures and dramatic consequences on investments made by gullible people who believed like god's word their banker's.  An industrial or service company should also keep that in mind.

The same goes when you release a software. The new CC2015 release by Adobe is bugged to the core. it has provoked great stress upon some of the users who thought perhaps without care to switch their cc2014 project to the new version cc2015 especially confident from Adobe declaration that you could keep the old version and switch back to it in case of a problem. Some guys on the forum had terrible consequences a few days before delivering their work to a client. Ok they should have been more careful. But no one will make me believe that the developers were not aware of the huge flaws of the new version. A friend of mine had huge memory leaks on his pc and it took nearly two weeks to find out from where the problem came! During that period his computer was unusable!

These situations are not acceptable especially at the price you pay per month for the CC suite. I'm not a professional and have no deadline to respect when I decide for a project but to think that because of a company's carelessness I could loose a project I've begun nearly 12 months ago would put me into rage. Thank god I'm cautious enough not to change my version before my project is completed which will take months as I'm not a confirmed user either of CC or DAZ studio.

For example I have a problem now with DAZ version 4.8 which I do not understand; when I'm in the animate2 panel it takes at least 20 to 50 seconds for a simple preview of an aniblock to show on the viewport? Why? I checked the use of memory and processors it's low. I have an Intel 4cores and 16GB ram plus a Asus HD7950 with 3GB memory with Windows 7 Ultimate. When I use CC I can have at the same time After Effects, Premiere and Photoshop opened as well as working in Element 3D where I transfer the 3D models from DAZ to create my scenes in Element 3D? It took me yesterday more than 3 hours to render the 77 frames in a sequence of OBJ files for Element 3D from DAZ! I'm not a hardware expert and have no idea what's going on here.... It drives me crazy. From what I read on other posts in the forum here it seems there are problems with this matter in the last version. How can I solve them.
