Thanks, sorry for not being Text savvy.

If you still want to, I would prefer to continue this converstaion in a more private setting.

I am perfectly happy to speak with you offline, if you'd like. However, as this started publicly, and is not terribly unrelated to the forums in general, I feel that it is prudent to briefly discuss here.

It's the Old Dog "Old" Trick comment that I found offensive. One Question though; how do you know who it was directed toward? Do you know who the member that wrote it is?

Let's revisit the post which you chosen to find offensive:

OMG. Where have I been?! Thank you for teaching an old dog an old trick!

Why do you have to be so sarcastic and inconsiderate of others with such an indignant remark? Maybe some people are just stressed to the point of forgetting even the basics. For this being your first post, this was totally uncalled for and not a good way to start out your AUGI user account.

Nothing in that statement is a reference to you, the Original Poster (OP); in fact the text is entirely self-referential as being the one that has missed out on this feature, and as being the "old dog." Furthermore, they expressed thanks for having learning this "old trick."

While sarcasm, etc. can certainly assert an alternative meaning to that which has been explicitly stated, I choose to believe that someone who has just gone through the process of registering an account here to make their first post is not doing so out of ill will, especially when all of the post is entirely self-referential.

In My Opinion (IMO), the post has simply been taken out of context... and not intentionally, of course.

The artical you have referred me to is a great artical for falliig into a rut of the same old routine.

I'm glad you found it (the article) to be useful.

However, the comment was geared toward the "Bpoly" as being an "Old Trick" as it has been with AutoCAD now for a few releases. I on the other hand just didn't remember it and when you reminded me of it, I was greatful and still am.

It is impossible to know what others' work environment may be like. I know of many members who are still using 2004 and older versions still.

I consider myself to be quite knowledgeable, but I've never met anyone who knew all there was to know. That's why I personally value forums like this, and others, that make available to me a great knowledge base, in addition to the helpful members themselves. I am often reminded of, or learn about commands that I may have never used as an alternative to coding a LISP, etc..

I'm glad you found this thread to be useful.

I am not "text" savvy and have a hard time following texting grammar. Thank you RenderMan for your paitence with me.

I too had to learn these acronyms; No need to thank me, I'm happy to help.

Hope This Helps (HTH)!
