Agreed! They are probably the best tut dvd's I've seen. Buy 'em now.

Following Mark's link, I got there first time, and downloaded without a problem. On Firefox, on Mac.

Corker! Thanks for that!

Thanks for that heads up! Is this the same as the 6.1 upgrade, or only part thereof?

Thank you, Mark.

Surely not?! Spammers are such noble people!

lol
Is that why you wear the purple hat?

Of course! Sorry! In my defence, I'm a Photoshop jockey, and just getting to grips with a little bit of Illustrator... lame, I know!
Thanks for your indulgence!
(Good thing this site's colour is blue... it helps to disguise the red glow from my face...)

Mark, I've just dug out and shaken off several years of dust on my copy of Illustrator 6! I've installed it and can import those .ai files. Bit of a bollock breaker though, as it's OS9. Technology... you gotta love it!
Thanks again.

Thanks Mark. I think that means I have a problem, as it appears I need Version Cue to get addidtional formats for saving!
I have CS2 Illustrator as a stand-alone, and not as part of the Creative Suite, and am only given the option of saving in .ai format.
Eish!

But you have to laugh!  It works for you!
CRAZY!

Hah! That's what I thought.

Anyway, I have reported it as a bug, and I see a couple of others have too... so it's not just me!

Thanks for the input, guys!

I've done a bit of testing, and I'm thinking that it is to do with the age of the .3ds file. Even a good quality .3ds file bought and downloaded from a reputable online store wouldn't open. So I opened it in C5Pro instead, exported it as a .3ds file, and am now able to open it in C6Pro.

Does that make sense?

I think I smell a bug? Anyone at Eovia listening? Help please...
I get the hot point when I try to import .3ds files, I get absolutely nothing when I try to import .obj files... and haven't tried pz3 files.
Thanks for the response, Miss N.

Hi bwtr,
Thanks for your interest in this mystery.
I've tried again opening a new doc, just an empty scene at small, and when importing, I see the model name in the Instances menu, and the hot point appears in the grid. (I assume it is the hot point!)
I then try changing it's size numerically, with no effect. And no object appears in the workspace. I've also tried zooming out, so that I'm positioned somewhere near Timbuctoo, in case the object hasn't been positioned... still nothing. I then fire up C5Pro, and can import the object with no problem,

I'm on a Mac, btw. Thanks again for your help!

Hi bwtr,
Thanks for the response. I have tried setting the scene size to all three default sizes with no luck. I have also looked to increase the scale of the dreaded black dot... but not a sausage helps.
Hmmm...
