Cinema 4d: intelligent Render Queue


When closing the picture viewer, or starting a render while C4d is rendering (or compiling a .mov from .b4d frames), it comes up with the question above.

How great would it be if this message would read:

Render in progress. Do you want to stop that, and start a new render?
Or do you want to create a render Queue that starts after the current render?

Wishlist for Ai (and Ind) grids

Regarding Adobe Illustrator CC Grids,
please make the following possible:

-Grid as a document setting, not an application preference >>> not every project uses the same grid units
-Set opacity for grids >>> they are too visible for design purpose
-Snap anchor points to Ai native grids >>> right now, it snaps to the center of the bounding box of the selection
-Snap objects (black arrow) to Ai native grids, based on the anchorpoint used to move it >>> this makes it possible to accurate position an object

Ai: Better info when dragging Guides and use of Eyedropper

When dragging a Guide from the Rulers, we now have to figure out visually what the exact position is.
Wouldn't it be great when the Guide has a small info panel floating with it to show the position! Just like Adobe Muse does.

The same applies for the Eyedropper: please add a small info panel to it.

Ai: more logical Nudge buttons

I was wondering why Adobe Illustrator's X-axis manipulation buttons vertically. Intiution says the should be horizontal.

Right now, the controls look like this:






In my opnion, these small nudge arrows besides X: and W: can better be rotated 90º:




Thinks it's the result of the same unlogical thinking as in the InDesign UI,
discussed here.

Ai display bug




For a few versions now, Ai (Mac/NVIDIA Quadro4000) is displaying 1px gaps in anti-aliased edges. In Ai2017 these gaps are also visible in Pixel Preview mode.

Hope this can be fixed.
